Crazy cold, then a heat wave coming

Ouch, that's pretty damn severe!

It's coming to Ohio heavy rain now snowing heavily and cold, highs oly in the teens, the next 5 days

ND almost sounds a Extension of MO now. Has always been a Running joke here that Do Not Like the Weather, hold on Five Minutes will change!!!

That’s waaay too cold for me! We had close to 80* this past week, upper teens forecast for the low for the next few days.

Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God.

Never know what to expect for weather here in North Dakota, but if you don't like it; wait five minutes and it'll change. Starting tonight, we drop to 30 below, 33 below Monday night and Tuesday night. Then overnight lows start to creep back up. But, then by next Sunday/Monday, we get up to the high forties. That's an almost 80 degree temperature swing in less then a week. At least on the bitter cold streak, the day time highs will reach zero, or close to it. But yeah, some severe temperature swings for sure.

Are you old enough to remember 1972???

Yes I am. I was born in 63. Not sure if you are remembering a cold weather event back then or something, but I remember many cold events back when I was a kid. Don't remember any particular dates, but I've seen 40 below, and that's not counting windchill. Sometimes a week or two without going above zero. Overnight lows of negative 35 to 40, daytime highs of 20 below. Ugh, brrrrr

I remember looking forward to 0 deg as a warmup. Truck seat was like a rock. -30 for a couple of wks. Walking to school in snow up hill both ways etc etc!

Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's. Misc other equipment that my wife calls JUNK!

I would think you would have had the same weather as Minnescrotum but in 72 the temp never got above zero for 29 days straight. We had a free stall barn and the manure from 200 cows was freezing behind them, could not get in stalls anymore. Had a pick in my hand every day, sweaty but you could not keep your hands warm, if you ever run a pick you know the direction the debris flew. Had to climb silo with pick also, pure torture.

I was only ten but I remember coming in to watch the weather on the news every night thinking its got to get better. Finally it broke and the warm front roared out of the north, dont recall that happening again.

We lived on a farm in Ohio and if the township couldn't get through with the maintainer they wou call a guy that had a v blade on the front of a 5 ton Army truck and when he topped the hill it was 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile to our house he would start blowing the air horn us kidds was usullly out playing in the snow digging tunnel across the road. We always kept 1 person outside of the tunnels to listen for the air horn. In latter year I talked to him he said as soon as he seen us out waving at him he would floor it and he said he could feel our tunnels as he went over them. If the bus couldn't get to us we weren't counted as be absent from school, we always had perfect attendance.

I had -40 at 6am

Our Forecast been 'Updated'. Wed and Th lows around -5 to -9 Highs may not make teens.

I HATE COLD WEATHER!!!

I'd rather sweat than freeze.

My theory is ...... The warmer it is, the less women wear.

Thus....Show me a man who likes cold weather and I'll show you a man who doesn't like women.

We're at minus 37 right now.
Thank God, no wind

Got up to -.9 today with a wind-chill of -15. Didn't have to work today. Spent the day in the recliner with one of our beagles.

Looking at the past to see the future.
