Bottomed the bitch out :laughing:

disclaimer- not my pic, it's the neighbor up the road. He's in a valley and is typically a few degrees colder than at my place.

Yup elevation is a weather fukr, I’m at the bottom of Canada’s little version of the Grand Canyon, 4-500Ft valley temp of -50 here was -38 at neighbors 450ft up. Same shit inna summer be 32c up top, then 48c on the bottom
 
Cold where I am. Second job this afternoon for no start for fuel gelled. Dumped 911 in the tanks and then the top of the water separator. It's going but no throttle response yet, letting it and myself warm up. Weather says -1 with windchill at -19 and it's got a lazy breeze blowing right now. Reminds me of working the oilfields in ND and WY. I love this weather and road calls, no getting wet, cold, and muddy.

For our area, it's once a year we get below zero, usually a day or 2.

Most of the winter it doesn't get much colder than 15-20* which I'll glady take over that 33* with fog you get near the coast.

My 6.7psd fired up with zero hesitation yesterday at - 5*. Today with the low of - 20* overnight, then later I tried at - 15* it wouldn't try. Thought maybe batteries were dead, jumped, still nothing. Tested at 12.4v so I think the starter was mad. Plugged it in just cause and stuck the weed burner under the starter for about 10 Mins and it fired right up.

Its always wierd how one rig will fire up and another will totally gel up. We had it last year with our 135 Hitachi. Yet everything else in the yard was fine.
 
The are I live in (the top 100 miles of ID) has the most sporadic weather I've ever seen or heard of. It changes every few miles and not always by elevation. Driving from here to sand point, it changes every 5 miles. There is an area just north of sand point that people call the snow belt of the snow belt :laughing: if sand point gets a foot, we get 8" and they get 18". Not always exactly obviously, but come spring they will have litteraly 2' on the ground when we are done and Sandpoint has patches in the shade. This is in a 30 mile stretch with little elevation change.

Last weekend it snowed most of the week end, but it was too warm to stick. Drive 2.5 miles to my work and there ended up being 3-4" of snow. :laughing:
 
Was 35 below at my uncles in Mt this morning. We were 0 this morning when I went out to feed at our place in Ok.
 
The weather guessers said it was only supposed to get into the low 20s this morning, but it was actually 5°F. Cold but not crazy cold for here. It's just a surprise when they are over 15°F off :laughing:

I grew up in Williston, ND in the nw corner of the state. The combination of arctic blast coming down from Canada, and being in the Plains with little to slow down the 35mph avg winds made it brutal. It makes south central WI seem like the south comparatively in the winter.
 
fuck, I am interested in experiencing that kind of cold. It was mid 40s in the morning and it was cold riding the moto 60 miles to work :flipoff2:

You near Athol?
My old boss lives there.
 
AccuWeather app says -10 F in Northwest Alabama. They predicted 1 for the low. So, with us having 4 inches of sleet and snow mix. I can see it being lower than 1

But then it shows this temperature also. 😆
 
7° here this morning. Not cold by some of your standards, but a little uncomfortable considering it was in the mid 50s last week.
 
Negative teens here this morning in West Tennessee.

Coldest temps I've experienced in my 40-ish years.

Got 8" of snow on the ground, and a good bit of snow and ice on most roads, and now they're giving rain for tomorrow then back to sub-freezing for days.

It may get wild here.

I really don't mind winter. But no way I could live a place like that. I'm good to 25* in a hoodie and jeans for the most part. A pair of long John's are nice for that temp or lower.

0*f and down starts to suck. But Holly fuck, add in wind and it's just brutal. Fuck that.
