It's nine degrees in Fargo. I'm surprised that the temperature is so close to ten..at night. A MIRACLE!!

 

[V1P3R]

Nice, 60's during the day and 40's at night.

 

[kikie]

It's cold

 

[Sureboss]

Frosts in the morning now, was 2C according to the car, yesterday.

 

[TB]

7° F, feels like -4. Gunning for a high of 19 with 15mph winds.

Awesome.

C or F?

 

[Joey D]

Probably F since he lives in America.

 

[Silverzone]

Cold. Rainy. Depressing.

Well, in Oklahoma we've been hit with a pretty bad ice storm. The storm hit Sunday and we're just now getting to school today. We've had trees falling and massive power outages. The reports I've heard said that somewhere around 200,000 homes lost power. Many today still do not have it.

 

[Joey D]

And 24 people died nation wide from it, it was quite a bad storm. It passed through the Detroit area yesterday. Today though it's not to bad, about 30 and sunny.

I was going to mention how I had a wafer thin layer of ice on my car this morning but after reading the last few posts it doesn't seem right.

YEEAAHHH! 19! WOOOOO! Sweet!

Is it normal to be excited about a high of 19? I think Fargo weather has messed up my rationality. Being excited about a temperature that's negative for the rest of the world is most definitely not normal.

Kansas City and north central Missouri got hammered by that storm. There are a few inches of ice in some places. I hope I-29 is clear by Friday.

Anyways..

Come on 20.. Big money. Biig money.

Four months and you are already one of us.

[Monty Burns]Excellent.[/Burns]

-12° for the low on Thursday. That'll make for great watching the Geminid meteor shower...

...from inside.

I've never been in a place before where the Radio Jockeys marvel about it reaching one degree for all of 15 minutes.

My mom always asks, "Is it cold there?"



"No, Mom. It's 94 outside."
"well, it's cold here."
"You don't have cold weather, silly."
"It's only 28 here."
"Yeah? Subtract 36. If it was 28 now, I'd be in shorts."

 

[FoolKiller]

Yesterday it was sunny and 73 degrees, record high. Today it is 40 and wet.

I don't mind cold, but pick one. My sinuses are going freaking insane.

 

[Sage]

Business as usual here…

...

The winter of '97 my mom went to Georgia to visit my brothers and sisters. I called her and asked what the temperature was. She said it was 70 there. It was, with the old wind chill, around 60-70 below zero in ND. A 130° F DIFFERENCE! Of course with winters like that, it's kind of hard to complain.

Aren't bridges supposed to go over the water?

"Yeah? Subtract 36. If it was 28 now, I'd be in shorts."

It's 34. Sunny. I'm in shorts. It's been much colder here. I was in shorts.

 

[Joey D]

You're in shorts?!?! Damn I'm in jeans, a hoodie and I have my Denali jacket on and I'm still cold.

 

[Philly]

No worries. I have a hoodie on. And the upper body is the part that's cold. Although I did get purple (yes, actually purple) knees when I went for a walk in that first snow/ice storm.

Apparently it convinced everybody that the weather we are having was like summer in Seattle.

 

[superberkut]

Today: freezing temperatures after rainfall make for nightmarish slick ice, but the temperature warmed up for most of it to melt. It's rather warm as of now.

 

[Alex.]

Superberkut, do you live in banbury?

Silly Red River.. tricks are for kids!

...70 below!?

117 Inches!!

 

[TB]

It took a helluva lot of sandbags to hold that mother back. Believe you me.

 

[High-Test]

I'll bet. How much of the city did it cover? I wonder if the little toll booth on one of the bridges over the Red river was underwater. It costs 75 cents to leave North Dakota by side road, but it's free on 94.

 

[TB]

I've never been over the 12th Ave bridge - mostly on principle. I live 5 miles south of it and am never that direction anyway. Besides the fact that there is a bridge I can go over for free (and a whole lot faster) two miles away.

Fargo didn't get hit too bad, since the Red flows north. Grand Forks, on the other hand (as pictured) got slammed and if that wasn't bad enough fires broke out. Whatever wasn't soaked was charred.

On Monday, I had a sheet of ice on my windshield. I started scraping and then I noticed the edges were letting go. I could've slid the whole thing off probably if the rubber on the side of the windshield wasn't higher than the windshield. So I had to break the thing into pieces and then brush it off.

Irony? Uncontrollable fires during a flood?

I don't think that's how it listed in the dictionary, but yes, that would be a definite candidate for next years revision of irony.

 

[Seanman]

It was 41 degrees last night. In Southern California.

I know it's winter and all that, but this is ridiculous.
