Well boys, what's your temperature like now?

[CJW]

I’ll BBQ all year round. I use natural gas though, no bottles to worry about!

I tried last night and failed. In the last few weeks we had two big dumps of snow and -20s temps. Then it warmed up to +5 for a few days. Then rain turning to snow and temp falling into the -20s again. My propane tank ran dry just as I was putting the sausages on the grill. When I tried to pull it out it was frozen in. We were in a hurry to eat and get to my stepdaughter’s band concert and it was too cold to fight with it so the sausages went in the oven. Natural gas sounds better all the time.

Yesterday at this time 8:20AM CT it was 74, this morning it’s 36. Not really that cold but huge fluctuations have wrecked the sinuses.

105F to 115F forecast for tomorrow

 

[sgt_zim]

45º and 83% humidity when I got up this morning. I have an easier time staying warm out at 10º with little or no humidity.

I know I’m getting awfully sick of shoveling snow!!!

That 10 degrees might come later this winter in Jan/Feb when the Polar Vortex drops down like it did in Feb. 2021. No humidity though. LOL

60F here today and close to that tomorrow and 40-50s through Christmas. Feels like the Bahamas? LOL

Made it to 40°F by noon. Then it tried to snow and the tempts started dropping.

Around 29°F overnight. Saturday predictions hi: 36°F lo: 19°F. Sunday predictions hi: 39°F lo: 21°F. Spring tempts start Monday in the 40's. I'll be in Northern Kentucky on Tuesday Christmas Eve and Wednesday Christmas Day where the weather forecast is: Tues 47°/ 37° cloudy, Wed 50°/40° overcast.

It might.

Thing is, when it's that humid and in the 30s or low 40s, there's no way to keep the moisture off your skin. I've tried every base layer you can think of. None of them works for this.

We went to Estes Park on spring break a couple years ago, stayed in a cabin just outside the park gates. I decided I wanted to take lunch and eat a couple sandwiches creekside outside the cabin, it was about 45º. Being the good southerner, I had on a t-shirt, a long sleeve shirt above it, and a medium jacket outside of that. Sitting there under bluebird skies enjoying my sammiches , it took me all of about 3 or 4 minutes to shed the jacket, and another 3 or 4 minutes to shed the long sleeve shirt.

45º down here, I don't even walk to the mail box in short sleeves. It just chills to the bone.

We had -4 a couple hours ago. Being a good northerner, I'm going to play the world's smallest violen for you and your 45°.
