Halifax is expecting a NE blizzard, with snow between 20-30 cm. Wind gusts up to 110 km/h. Business as usual with some caution.
Washington DC is expecting a light dusting of snow and has already shut itself down. ![[Killing me]](graemlins/killingme.gif)

It was -20C here today. It will be the same tomorrow. That's just a tad nippy. I'd push Pete into the Rideau Canal for his smug comments from India but the canal's frozen so he'd just roll across the ice.
My car is plugged in at least.

Supposed to be summer here and instead we've had a pattern of rain, rain, rain, gale force wind, beautiful sunshine, rain, wind, beautiful sunshine, rain and gale force wind, earthquake, rain, overcast and muggy, rain.....
Admittedly, Wellington is a bit unreliable all year round, but this is ridiculous.

Sissies. -30°C this morning. No big deal. Grow-up. Be real women and men. Being a weirdo Canadian, the dog and I sang "I am Woman Hear Me Roar" (youtube is your friend, and you win if you can name the singer without looking it up) into the howling wind at 5:30 a.m. this morning on our walky.
She peed, I didn't.

In all the long history of the VW diesel Golf, they only ever made one model that you couldn't fit an engine block heater to. I have one. It was -25ºC again this morning. #@$!*^%@$# it! It's a nice day, though; bright and sunny - hardly any wind. The cat even went out for a stroll, but he's already been neutered, and no harm was done.

Must be a specific model. We had one with a block heater in the past, 1999 model if memory serves.
Look for an inline coolant or antifreeze heater. It circulates the antifreeze through a heating element. If you decide to self-install, do it somewhere warm, and engine must be cold, not warm at all for fear of burning you with hot coolant. These go usually out of the radiator before the block. example, from ebay

It's a 2004 TDI - not the finest they ever made. The FrostHeater and similar in-line heaters are good, so I've heard, but you have to install them in a part of the coolant circuit that isn't isolated by the thermostat when cold - definitely not a radiator hose, as some of them specify.
Now for an item that is more genuinely Hellish. The whole windscreen washer system, back and front, froze solid last time it was -25ºC. Some s**t brained idiot had filled it from a container of fluid that said in small - but not all that small - print, "Summer". Made worse by the fact that the idiot was me.

it's not as good as a block heater, but if you (like me) have an engine with no room for the heater, combining an oil pan heater and battery blanket works just as well.

The whole sodding country is pretty much aquatic. Not so much wellies and raincoat as aqua lung or boat. The dogs have forgotten what running on grass is supposed to be like, and having mud rubbed off them is the natural end to every walk.

Now listen here you little pillock (aka quetzquoatl), I live a good deal south of you in terms of latitude, and it's -15C here. The only birds chirpin' are the chickadees who don't migrate, all the other birds with a lick of sense have gone South, and dammit I'm not one of them.
I hope you and your blooming spring freeze to death in the snow.

So I KNOW that I moved to the boreal rainforest. It says so in big letters all over the tin. I knew there would be a lot of precip. I knew the precip would be subject to change without notice. i knew it would be windy. I've even come to terms (okay, a little bit) with all the fucking ice.*
But! We have had approximately 11.5 HOURS of sun since November 15. I know, because I did the math. Because what the fuck else are you going to do when the act of going outside for firewood requires snowgear, raingear, cleats, ski poles and a shovel?
Dear universe: I'd like some sun. It's okay if that means cold. I'm good with cold. I like cold. Bring on the motherfucking cold.
Further, how does the natural system know how to just sit at the freezing point ex-fucking-zactly for THREE GODDAMN WEEKS?!? This means the precip is liquid but turns into concrete the minute it touches down and turns everything into snot. And and and...! Did you know that certain kinds of ice are actually sort of STICKY?!?
It's nice to have a break from shoveling, really. I'm happy to no longer be carving a tunnel to the front door. But I am over the chipping, and the scraping, and the post-holing, and going down hills in the car sideways, and wearing cleats/creepers EVERYWHERE**, and having so much moisture in the air that I now resemble that new disney character with the bow and the mane. (it's not Simba. But, you know, him, too)
So dear environment- either warm up enough that I can start running again or cool off enough so I can get some vitamin D and not risk my life going to the post office. Please and thank you.
*meaning I only have myself to blame.
**a visit to the grocery store has so many people in cleats it sounds like a tap dance recital.
PS- before any of you smug cold-weather assholes even start (looking at you, NP!) I spent a year on the Arctic coast and ten years in Fairbanks and another ten in rural interior AK and I have paid my dues. Shutthefuckup.

I live at 44 degrees north latitude. London, England is at 51 degrees north. Most Canadians live in the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Basin between the 41st and 49th Parallels or along a 200 km strip hugging the 49th Parallel.
The most southern point in Canada, Middle Island, Lake Erie, is at 41.7 degrees north, which is the same latitude as Rome, Italy. Windsor, ON and Detroit, MI are on the same latitude, more or less, as Florence.
London is on the same latitude as St. John's, Newfoundland and Calgary, Alberta.

Yeah, I have no particular desire to do any of those things with snow. Certainly not to the extent that they come anywhere near outweighing all the negative aspects of the bloody stuff.
To be honest, if weather was the only thing under consideration I'd have moved to Southern California years ago. Warm summer days all year round sounds like absolute bliss.

Rain and wind have the same negative aspects - can't get out on the bike, not much fun on the hills. Indeed, the hills are more fun under snow. And with a small degree of luck I get snowed in and can work from home.
California isn't "warm". In summer it's "far too fucking hot."

Now you're doing it on purpose, Ruth.
Just remember, y'all get our water supply. we are getting winter brushfire warming up here. Brushfire warnings. In January. Yeah, lovely days at the beach, but we are in for deep shit.
And guess where So Cal gets its water! ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)
Least y'all have cacti you can cut open down there. We'll probably have to start making dew collectors.

I'm refusing to gloat, resting on the side of gratitude that it has been amazingly mild so far and the magnolia is getting uppity for the time of year. I know all too well it can still take a massive turn for the worse before the whole show's over. Also, that this appears to be a little flood-free island, though some days only just.The river has been unusually high - they've deployed the Thames Barrier several times this winter, when some years it never gets any exercise.
So I am trying not to envy the tropicals while not gloating about the Arctics. The best thing about rain: two things, actually - you don't have to shovel it and it cuts down the number of tourists taking selfies outside Westminster station!

I'll be right there with you -- my commute is a whopping 1.8 miles and since the weather is so good, I can walk if I want.
Kelly, are you on water rationing yet? So far they're just talking about it down here.

As an Aussie, travelling across the USA, on vacation, I am missing our summer, thankfully... And getting your winter.
And boy, am I getting it!

Not. Yet. But they keep evoking the drought of '76, which scares the piss out of me. Hygiene standards just disappeared up here.
Oh, And I will confirm that, having see it, RuthW's walk to work is gorgeous bordering idyllic. Think: a stroll along Main Street in Pleasantville. Wouldn't be surprised if she is currently twirling a lacy parasol on her way in the mornings.
