Default cheep weather shots

I sympathize with you guys but I'm staying put! If I ever get to driving cross Canada in my CMP it will not be in the winter! On the news I see back east they were pouring Kerosene on railway tracks and lighting it up so the tracks wouldn't break! Yikes!

I know we are getting off track here, but, last Friday, 25th January 2019 we had a top temperature here of 47.1c (119.76f) at 1.15pm. Yes it was a bit warm. The temp dropped 15c degrees in 12 minutes when a change came through a bit later. Currently now it is 23.7c. We just saw the heating of the rail lines over there on our news program. Stay warm and well folks.
Regards Rick.

I was bitching at -26C with a 50 km/hr wind when my buddy in Thunder Bay was all happy because the morning news said -45C and when he got out to his truck he was quite happy the dash thermometer (once it finally glowed enough for him to see it) said it was merely -34C. Nothing brightens your day more than that.

North Americans have the same reaction when we see TV images of your bushfires.

It might be cold here but at least we don’t have to worry about the wee beasties
