Swamphunter Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 This is a picture of the steam rising off the St. Lawrence River. The windchill is currently -21 degrees below zero. Man I feel sorry for you Canadians! When we go south for a winter vacation, we can hit warm sunny Florida. You guys have this weather in your southernmost point! Notice the ice on the trees..that is from the steam drifting by the trees and adhering to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbowman Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: Bit chilly today Absolutely Frigid! I just wish we had some moisture of any kind here in Oklahoma, we are having a severe drought, hardly any rain in months. Keeping our fingers crossed, there is a 40% chance today!@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: Bit chilly today Except for a cold snap around the first of December, we've been exceptionally mild, which is fine for me and my heating bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I think it was LifeNRA that had posted how he had set his digital thermostat to turn down at night, and to be honest, I had just been lazy up until now and had always done it manually before going upstairs to bed, (when I didn't forget) . Well today I set that baby to drop down from 71 degrees during the daytime, to 70 degrees at 10pm to 68 degrees at midnight until 6am where it jumps up to 70 degrees and then back to 71 degrees at 7am. We get up around 6:30 - 7:00am every morning. Sure hope this helps me "stick it to the oil company" a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slowly acclimating my family down to 65 during the day, and 63 at night. I've had the thermostat around 66 for the past 2 weeks, and she complains everyday, but she always complains about being cold, so until the kids complain, it's going to continue to go down. God forbid if she ever actually looks at the thermostat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: Bit chilly today It was pretty cold this morning here too! It was -25C without the wind, so about -15F I think. And -36C with the wind, which is about -33F. It has been this cold a few other times this year, just not with the wind, 15mph winds at -15F makes it pretty darn chilly.
