Ha!  Classic!

In our neck of the woods, we are at -14 with a windchill of -38.

Here in SE Texas snowmageddon has arrived! >1", the schools are closed, and the city is shut down.

I am just waiting to see the videos of some Southern folks with snow... New Orleans, Mobile, and yes, the Florida Panhandle folks. Can you fiddle worms while there is snow on the ground?

4" of Global warming covering the ground here.  Ugh.  Still coming down hard.

It was never cold in January before Al Gore invented Global Climate Change.

When I did the Googles for 'Africa Humid Period', I came across interesting articles for 'precession' and 'Milankovitch theory'.

Interesting theories that may explain why the Arctic is most affected by variations in Earth's orbit around the Sun.

Holding in our farts won't stop the Milankovitch cycle from doing its thing to contribute to Global Climate Change.

I think all this talk about Canada becoming the 51st state has been settled.  Hell no. All they have to offer is these damn cold fronts!..
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Radar has shown us getting snow since 2 am, as of yet, none has hit the ground (evaporating in the air before hitting the ground).

It's Quebecois for meat, cheese curds, and french fries smothered in brown gravy.,, And if the canucks never do another single thing, poutine is sufficient.

While technically true the multitudinous variations in poutine tend to center around meat. Poutine with pulled pork is entirely a different experience from poutine with chipped beef. A friend of mine has a Cree wife that does a Mexican poutine that will knock your socks off... Though it might arguably be better called chili fries.

Probably my favorite is venison poutine... The first way I had it.

It's what you are used to, I reckon. Probably wise from what I have seen of new arrivals trying to drive in winter up here.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

And there's a school of thought that says 'real' chili doesn't have beans.  :shrug:

Chalk it up to local variations.

It is what you are used to. I always feel a little embarrassed when I gripe about our temps when I see what everyone else is dealing with.

But, gosh darn it, it's cold for my part of the world...and I hate/despise it.

Some cold as heck temps there gang... We got down to about 10 degrees the other night and only got to 20 today... and I felt like just sitting on the heater all day.

But it was fun watching videos of people that have never seen snow playing it it.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Man did the NWS and local Mets blow the forecast low here this morning...   They told us about 14.  My highly accurate thermometer is reading 6 (above) this morning.  Wife hasn't woken up yet, and I hate to break it to her.  Some of her plants that she never expected to lose are probably gone.  No amount of wraps and protection are going help at this level of cold in deep SE Texas

And to the envirowhacko climate change pukes.....   Citrus nicely thrived in this area in the time frame '85- '20, which you all claimed was global warming.   Well... we have now had 3 freezes that countered that 100%.  So kindly STFU!!!!

What is your usual January temperature?
We woke up Monday morning to -25 air temp (central ND). It’s 22 above now. I think we are done with the uber-frigid, for a while anyway.
