There is extended record-breaking cold in large portions of the U.S. Some ski resorts have closed for the day because of dangerous temperatures. In many places it is colder than it has been in 20 years. Minnesota is currently wind chilling at minus 65 degrees F.

Thank goodness the globe is warming; think how cold it would be if it wasn't.

You're way behind the times in the colonies aren't you?

The envirofascists have pre-empted your post by changing from 'global warming' to 'climate change' precisely to avoid such comments. However, climate change was deemed to be insufficiently scary and has now been changed to 'climate chaos'.

Do try to keep up with the latest contemporaneous enviro-lentilist nomenclature old chap. nonowink

I can vouch for this chilly weather, it's only been warmer than -20c twice since early December here, this morning at 8am the temp was -36c and with the windchill was -51c which even for Manitoba is cold - coincidentally yesterday at the north pole it was -15c

Apparently by the weekend it will be -2c so t shirt and shorts all round!

Will be about -23 in Toronto, windchill -29 tomorrow. Its bone chilling. Getting in the car is like sitting on a board, and the short walk to the gym at 630 AM from the parking lot is excruciating.

Well it's 28 deg C here in Hua Hin, but it a little more windy than normal (about a force 4). Expected to go back up to midday high of low to mid thirties over the weekend.....

We are scheduled 7F for today, I do so hope they are wrong.
I think that will be the lowest since I've been here.
I remember 11F being a tad unpleasant.

Luckily I think its the wifes turn to get the newspaper from the front garden so it will not really affect mesmile
