How's the Weather Today?

Dave, your Beetle pulling out fromunder 3 feet of powdered snow reminded me of this:

Rock salt and/or brine are used here in Ottawa Canada, depending on temperature. They use the brine before the snowfall to keep it from freezing to the road, then dry salt during the snowfall to keep it flowing. When it is all over and the roads dry out, we are left with finely powders salt - the roads are white and the dust billows up wiht traffic. When the temperature gets to low for salt to work, they spread sand or stone grit.

They spread sand here.

Man, we are experiencing a frigid west wind tonight - we went out for dinner and almost froze just walking into the Texas Roadhouse! It says it's 28* but that wind feels more like 2.8*!

Weather.com says wind chill is currently 9, that seems about right! West winds of 22 gusting to 35MPH

I mean, I know it's winter and all, but whew it's cold taking da boiz out to do their bidness.....

[MiniDave]

They say we're supposed to get wind gusts in the 60's today but it's completely calm right now....

Supposed to be 70* on the 25th!

Well Canada left the door open yesterday, I woke up that morning it was 67 degrees out, by noon it was 37 and this morning it was 12! Sheesh, must be winter or sumthin......

Making plans to go to Phoenix for a few weeks now.....Probably end of Jan/early Feb, that's when it's the worst here both in temps and gray gloomy skies - very dispiriting weather to me.

We went from 80 to 20 in about 24 hours.
