Post by: Sir James A on 2014-01-05, 23:19:13: Pfft. It snowed around me too. And I lost internet Thursday night. STILL don't have it. Went to my parents house. :)

So no internet meant no work got done friday. Normally, I'd be okay with that and I'd get some armor stuff done. It was so darn cold I could barely work in the garage. Only got one gauntlet cleaned, part of a helmet, but I did get my armor wiped down, oiled, and back on the stand. I took some holiday pictures in armor. Thread forthcoming once I'm done filtering and uploading. :)

Post by: Sir Edward on 2014-01-06, 01:48:21: We didn't get snowed in over here, but it was enough that they closed our offices on Friday. Today, with the ice and semi-freezing rain, there were accidents and some roads closed in the Leesburg area. Just generally icky out there.

Post by: Sir Ulrich on 2014-01-06, 08:24:49: I almost slipped on black ice letting my husky out, then she slipped and almost hurt herself, had my dad put salt out, also our house is low on food thankfully with my mini fridge I dont have to worry about "eating all thats mine" before people eat it on me so I am doing quite ok, other than worrying about ice. Feels like I am on Hoth in Star Wars ESB.

Might want to add- 'after you've been outside in it for at least an hour'...otherwise, it might not be cold enough. ;)

Post by: Sir James A on 2014-01-08, 20:46:41: It was so cold here last night that the lights in my garage wouldn't even turn on. Those ballast-tube lights. I had to use a flash light!

Post by: Sir Rodney on 2014-01-09, 04:11:55: I grew up in northern Minnesota and usually laugh at the folks down south in the Twin Cities, but the last week has been BRUTAL. School was canceled statewide on Monday by the Governor and most stayed closed Tuesday as well.

Both my elementary age children got to wait at the bus stop this morning at a much improved -9 F (-23 F wind chill).

For comparison, the bus stop temperature in the Twin Cities on Monday was -21 F (-46 F wind chill). Even for an Iron Ranger from up north, that’s cold. :o

We Didn't have a state wide school closing here in p.a., Probly cause alot of schools had just has snow days. Some schools gave off due to wind chills, but our district didn't.

Post by: Thorsteinn on 2014-01-10, 15:16:20: So... it's going to be in the 40's-50's here in Reno with lows in the 20's. Coldest we've had all winter in my neighborhood (the desert right outside of town gets colder) was about -5.

Coldest I've ever seen here was -10. Good luck guys.
