Steve (Pheasant Hollow) had a weather topic going. Thought I'd fire one up again.
Due to the States on Fahrenheit and Canada being Celius, thought I'd post a picture of a thermometer.

Please do not post links to radar etc. It's a killer on us dial-up folks !

Hey Reeves,
I used to live outside of Bozeman Mt. And people probably think i'm crazy, but I miss the dry cold of the Rockies. I remember one morning when it hit -59F in my yard (true temp, not wind chill) -40 was not uncommon. Everything was so still and beautiful on those super cold days. Now After many years of living out of the country in the tropics, I've settled in Tennessee and this wet cold is terrible! Give me dry cold like what I used to have in Montana or what you have in Alberta over this any time!
-
I know what you mean red ! I lived in Sandspit, B.C. (Queen Charlotte Islands) for three years. Never been so cold in my life , and the temp was never colder than -10c !
I also lived in the Rockies for 7.5 years, at 6000' work camp. Used to sun tan next to 10' snow drifts !
Weather link this morning: 0c and dropping to -7c, then back up to -6c for the high.
I have to get a different link......
-
-15c ...calling for a high of -13c.
Wind 7km/h
Cooling trend on the way. By Wed they are calling for -30c.
-
About -14c all day and so far, about 5" of snow.
-
Has been here since friday night, practically a constant 32*F (0*C) for last 3 days:

You guys are hooped for gifts today.....Rudolf the red nosed Mule Deer has been bedded down by the alfalfa pile all night ! :grin:
Nice place Chuck ! I like the view you have !
If you made a 3000' square on my place, and yours, there would be more land in your square than mine: your land is all piled up ! s020
Another good thing about your land......you wouldn't have to watch your dog run away for more than a few minutes.
Dog runs away here.....and you can watch him for three days ! s020

8*f (-13c) and sunshine in SE Ohio this morning. :-|

Hey! It's cold down here in Tn. We have not had a day above freezing in over a week and the weather is only supposed to get colder! Last night down to abut 9 degrees F. I think Reeves is shipping us his cold Canadian weather. It is time for some warmth here in the south! All my flock are doing ok, but I'm tired of chipping ice and hauling hot water.
-
Hey Reeves grab on to that jet stream and stop it. Here in Texas had 6 inches of snow and they are calling for the coldest weather in 10 years. Wed night comming in and staying through Sat. 3 days below freezing for highs and single digits at night. But back to 50 on sunday. Birds don't know what to do.

Hey all!! Its been QUITE a while since I've posted...Still some familiar names though! tu2
Its too cold here for me, need to fly south...Got 4-6 inches of snow here in SE ohio over the last 24-36 hours. Didnt make it to work today....Hope you all are staying warm and surviving the winter! I'll try to check in more often!!
-
It's still cold down her in the great state of Tennessee, but their is hope for warmer weather next week (and rain, yuck!). Temps over the last couple of nights have gotten down to 5 degrees F. and we did have a trace of snow, but only an inch or two. Sure am looking forward to warmer weather so I can finish my small parrot house. It is just too cold out to do it now. The picture is looking out my back door at my pens with their very cold birds. Keep warm all!

You don`t want to come south its 17* F here in Louisiana.

Chris in southwest GA.

OK no laughing by my northern buddies.
Here in Fort Worth Texas 2 days ago we had an all time record snow fall 12 inches in 1 day .
Disastrous for us.
Have Huns and Valley quail already laying.
Lost 1 flight pen that was built from 2in. PVC and 1 in. netting .
The weight broke 7 of the PVC arches.
Thank goodness no birds in it.
No satelite for internet or TV for for two days.
Just home from shoulder surgery, talk about stir crazy

Last 2-3 days has been raining as well. Good thing, as AB has been in drought conditions. Huge fire to the east (over 3000 Ha) is finally under control.
Some kid rolled a car about 2km to the north of me. Going too fast on a gravel road and came to a corner.
Of course, it caught on fire. Burned up a bunch of bush along a creek.....same one that runs along the front of my place. Good thing the wind was from the south that day. With all the dry fuel along it, it could have gotten to my place very quickly !
New Peacock male isn't fond of thunder though....."screams" at it every time s020
Also at loud vehicles, ATVs, farm tractors....
So. Rain , for me , means another shop day. Will have to invent some new cannot do without "thingy". s020

The Gators will be next!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
The Gators will be next!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is that, they migrating trying to get away from the oil? :-| I don't doubt that any. I'm sure there has been one around from time to time. They'll never survive the winter up here....thank goodness! This being a college town, the students dispose of their critters when they leave for the summer. I've personally been involved in capturing a few boa constrictors that were in bad shape. It's no tellin what they've thrown out. Those lousy Canadian geese have taken up residence here the last 2-3 years, we've never had them living here in the past like they are now. Don't have any close to home, other than constant fly-overs, but the lakes around and the river running through town are loaded with them. :x
You can keep the Gators down there!!......although the gator would probably put the hurts on geese??
Wild Boar invasion is more likely I think. Have seen a few shows lately about those things, seems to be a huge problem down south. There's a few in Ohio already. I here Kentucky is having a heck of a time with them, but they'll have a rough way to go getting across the Ohio river. ^-^
-
They say that there are 20million wild pigs in Texas and growing. They are starting to get bad here and I am sure they will be all over in years to come. You just cant kill them fast enough.. They are good eating.
-
Those wild pigs are in Alberta as well. Only small pockets of them though. Lots of hunters are after the few they can find.
Was reading a story about a fellow attacked by a herd of them....I'll see if I can find it....
slider, hows swamp life going this summer ?
Been thunder storms about every second or third day in my area. Nice, not having to water the trees/lawn !
Not good for work though. Down 2(ish) days each time !

Reeves swamp life has been HOT HUMID HOT HUMID....went without rain for 45 straight days ..Lately have been getting some showers just about every day. As a matter of fact just got a good one a little while ago. They have been from the storm in the gulf blowing that oil around.. Hows life on the tundra ?????

Monday, Aug. 23, 2010.
Working near Grande Prarrie AB.
Heavy frost this morning s2
-
This is only my second year here in the great state of Tennessee. I love it here but this heat is hard for this New England Yankee boy to get used to!
This year has been so humid (very southeast corner of the state) that when I go outside, the heat sucks the life right out of me. Since the summer began, it's been 100-106F with the heat index factoring in the humidity. Last year was hot, but not with this oppressive humidity.
This is such a beautiful state, but there are a few things I miss, like, living 20 minutes away from the Ocean, and those -10F New England winters!
-
Charliehorse,
Man your killing me with those winter scenes you posted. Making me so home sick! s47
-
Looks like 85-90ºF here this week (Eastern NC) chance of T-storms in a couple days. Sure am lookin forward to cooler temps, think the birds are too!
-
The last few days still 100 at 10pm .
Have lost some birds with the 115 index
-
Hail....Just got a call from the wife.
Soft ball size (and bigger) hit my place. One half mile to the north didn't get it !
Damage to everything. Her Ranger, house and pens. One went through the ski light (house), both panels, landing inside.
Hope our insurance guy isn't a hard person to deal with....
-
Opps !
I misunderstood the wife. Hail was golf ball size, the piece knocked out of the sky light was soft ball size.
The picture she sent me , taken with her cell phone , looks like huge hail stones though....
-
Video. I have a longer version here but it is about 25MB in size !

I wish you the BEST Reeves. Hope you did not lose any birds...
-
All bird are OK.
All aviary top wire beat up bad.
Wife's Ranger (20,000 km on it) beat up real bad.
House beat up. Needs at least two new windows and a new sky light. Plus roofing and other vents.
Pole barn tin beat up bad. Roof, west side and north side.
Aviary builds took a beating as well.
Plants and trees took a beating.
In the full length video, you can see the golf ball sized hail bouncing 8+ ft. off of the ground !
My truck is OK......I was away working.
Insurance adjuster due today (Monday).
I was home for the weekend, rained out. Looked at all the damage.

Good luck with the insurance s176

Feels like an oven around here, in the 90's this week, I'm ready for some fall 70 degree weather.
