Northern weather

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Ohdearlord. What a conversation. Don't tell anybody that knows me that I'm equally culpable in this perpetration.

That might be hard to conceal given it's here on the internet,

Ya think?

I avoid thinking.

Thinking only leads to one being blamed.

Wait! Wait! Frozen bubbles! How do you make frozen bubbles?
I'm from the north and never heard of that,

When you blow bubbles in 5 degree weather they freeze. Most will evaporate due to how dry the air is. One or two will freeze and shatter when they hit the ground

What is used to blow them? The old bubble pipe> What solution is used? Can this be done with the wand stuff?
Why was your wife unhappy with daughter learning to blow frozen bubbles?

You guys out east should be better off by Monday. Thursday morning here it was -8, yesterday -1 with a high of 6. Today we're gettin' up into double digits, and for Sunday, the forecast is a high of 26. That'll feel great after the past week. So, it'll be comin' your way.

99 cent bubble solution with a bubble stick. Wife did not like the kid outside in 5 degrees and 10 mph winds. It’s a motherly thing.

Robert,
Thank you. I'll tell my great grand kids in Kentucky about this. But they probably already know.
I remember when I was @ 5in Ohio they would have so many clothes on me when it was cold and I wanted to go out and play in the snow (no more)
I could barely move. If I fell down I couldn't get up especially if I started to roll.

That's a wonderful description, Roger. I could picture it clearly.

Yup, I'm seeing fifty degrees by Thursday...my God, that will feel like Florida in August!

I'm still not looking forward to bringing in wood tomorrow.......went out for the mail and that walk was painful.

The pain will be when I open my next BGE bill...heat's been running non-stop for the better part of ten days...oy...

I was sitting in the kitchen and felt some real cold air. Spent about half an hour with a lighter trying to see where it was blowing from. Would you believe it was blowing out the front of my dryer? Something had chewed up the outside louvers on the vent. So i plugged up the vent with some foam and ran the vent house across my kitchen floor. Might be nice to have some warm steamy air blowing through the house for a few days. Seems like a waste of heat to vent it out during cold months

Yeah, but then you wake up in the morning with dryer-lint all over your face.

Local weather is bragging about a 15 degree rise in temp for tomorrow. Sounds pretty good until you realize it's at -2 right now. We've been in either single digit direct temp or minus double digits for wind chill for 3+ weeks. It's been colder (Feb 1976, -17F) but never this cold for this long.

[robert.]

I put and old stocking over the hose. I'll see. If i have fuzzy things everywhere i'll plug it back into the vent. Damn house is so dry i can hang wet things up and they dry pretty quick. I dried my socks that way. They look like i used starch on them. Once i get a new cover all should be better.
For us it looks like warm weather will come with some snow/sleet/freezing rain to all rain. not much to look forward to

You're a better man than I , Gunga Din, I just chickened-out for the 10th time. Our mail still sits in its box . I haven't had the guts to go get it.
