weather forecast

The Columbia River at the foot of my street this morning. The frigid -24c air has the 4c River virtually boiling.

my garmin stuff was not happy. the radar kept disconnecting the cadence gave a really high reading. the garmin was way off on the elevation lost and had me a min elevation at -32 feet and the lowest temp at -8 degrees.
 
Wait a minute, that's their evil scheme: Dump the cold air, get us to build the wall, no more American refugees!

Only Snidely Whiplash could devise such a dastardly plot -- and this time, Do-Right and Nelle are in on it.
The scheme was to send the cold air to the TX/Mexico border in hope that the refugees would head back south for warmth. ;)
 
-1 F here and no chance I was hopping on the bike to get to the office so drove the car. Likely even colder tomorrow so will drive again and hop on the treadmill at lunch to get some exercise. Next week has a 50 F in the forecast so should be able to ride again soon!
 
In the alternate CA we are having a record tide. The moon is very high and pulling the same direction as the sun it is also setting off earthquakes. Also here is a newly paved section of path.

Here is Minneapolis tonight at 7pm - why 7pm? Our flight to Toronto is scheduled for then...hopefully it holds up!

I would much prefer that it were actually -29 and no wind. wind chill sucks.
Last I checked the wind chill here was -43. Last night it was probably fifteen degrees colder than that.
 
Brave man.
I haven't ridden in quite a while as I'm still recovering from Pneumonia. Bypassed cold, flu, RSV, Covid and went straight to Pneumonia. Weird.

Cold air, even for a few seconds, drives me into an intense coughing fit. It's currently -26C so nope...
When I do get out (perhaps on Christmas day with forecast currently at +4) , it will be we with a mask of some sort - perhaps my Balaclava.

Happy holidays to all - it's 4F time.

Bummer. Hang tough there Randall, we’ll meet up on the Nose sometime in the New Year. At least you’re a step ahead of BIL Dale. Last time we spoke he had yet to make the swap over to studs.

-5C by Sunday here so there’s no telling what I’ll be up to.

It is mid 20's here with 30knot East wind so no ride for me today. Supposed to be back up to 50 tomorrow but wet. Winter seems to be finally setting in. Back to trail work......
 
we had 17 degrees and froze rain come down two days ago now we have 33 and rain so its all slush. supposed to get to 50 but I doubt it.
 
Everything is canceled or shutting down. Travelers will be stranded for days. When one major hub has 3-hour delays that backlogs the entire flow. The weather outside is frightful.

I'm not exactly stranded, but don't get to go home for Christmas. Flight got cancelled. Soonest I can get there is the 26th - maybe. Where I am and where I'm going the airports and roads are fine. But I imagine there are plenty of airline employees stuck in some of those places that got walloped. I'll consider myself lucky if I get to go anywhere at this point.
 
Me too. I can't even talk about my day. Tinny Tots were playing outside climbing on their sunning moms and each other and riding coaster bikes and trikes. The wooden coaster bike is popular as is the John Deer trike, six little bikes were zooming around after sing-along story-time. It was hard to contain the very little ones. They would just crawl off. I gave some mommies food for the ducks and the Canadian geese that stay all year.
