Re: This Arctic Blast can kiss my....
Sounds like you're in my old neck of the woods. I lived off Rte 80 in Yancey County near Celo, NC.

We're waiting on my stepdaughters father to show up so we can do some last minute running around. There's no beating the chaos, but hopefully be home before the weather changes for the worse!
They weren't too far off, but the temp will keep falling.
Man, it came roaring in at 3am here
Supposed to get to -35° w/the wind chill -the winds here will be 20-30mph w/gusts up to 60mph - hence the the dang -35° crap
Rick, just get whatever ya need done, done
The wind is just what's so dang bad
I'm a lot higher elevation than Asheville now..
I'm in the highest living elevations east of the Mississippi- the coldest I ever saw it here was -25° without any windchill in I believe it was 1985
It was -32° on Grandfather Mtn that night too - can't remember how cold it got on Mt.Mitchelk though
Now I'm in Northern NM. Get's cold here too but drier and not so bitter. Was in the 30's here today.

Man, that was a scary night! The temp just kept falling! But, yeah, I know where Celo is.
No doubt we will know some of the same people!
I've always wanted to visit out west!
Wouldn't mind retiring out there either for the dry weather.

Ridiculously cold here... snow expectations weren't met, but we def hit the cold mark. St. Paul Missouri not Minnesota...

I hear that! It's a balmy -7 F here in central Pennsylvania.

-12 on my way to work this morning here in NE Indiana. It was so cold when I left at 5:00 PM that the storefront doors on our office started to warp because they were frosted over.
It’s currently “warmed up” to -3 degrees with a wind speed at 23 mph from the West/Southwest. As the old timers used to say, “it’s colder than a cast iron commode on the shady side of an iceberg.”

Re: This Arctic Blast can kiss my....
We had -17F air temp and -45F or so wind chill when I woke up Thursday morning. The cold, we can deal with, but the wind has been brutal. Today (Saturday) we're hoping to see above 0F for the first time in a couple days.
It's not unusual for us to see temps this cold during a winter, so for the most part it's business as usual, though more people stay home and I think most schools closed when it was super cold. Fortunately we only got a couple inches of snow.

Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.

Just signed up on this forum but have been a Spyderco fan for a long time. Up here in Alaska it's also been cold, but that's not so bad. It was the two back to back snowstorms that set a record for yearly precipitation.

Hit 11° in central Texas yesterday. It’s currently 17° in Austin…
But hey… at least we got power this time! Hopefully it stays on. Nothing here was built for this, including me or my house.

Michael and others: Do you think this is true? The nanotechnology engineers claim that eventually advanced molecular control of matter will lead to things like complete weather control so people can make the world safe and secure when it comes to weather changes, such as making inexpensive transparent dome-covered areas with climate control.
Also, when it comes to this arctic blast weather, what are some good survival items you suggest a person keep in their car or vehicle in case they break down on the road for some hours or longer?

Keep some water and snacks in the car and get a wool blanket (real wool).

We got two feet of heavy wet snow then a week later (yesterday) it was 40 degrees and we got three inches of rain. Between the rain and the snowmelt there was flash flooding all over. This morning it was -2 and it is a sheet of ice everywhere. What a mess!

Watched the temp here in NW Georgia get down to 10 degrees/-2 with wind chill last night. I don't even think it got that cold back during the Blizzard of '93.

We got all the way up to 8F today! Nice to be back above zero.

Got up to 77 today.
Had to put on shorts and sandals.
The pack was ok with it.
Manix 2 15V in my pocket, but nothing to cut.
