Winter weather thread.


Recommended Posts

Ottawa was coldest Capital city in world today. -35 with windchill. I have been working 18hr days on broken water pipes. It's fucking mental here. It's supposed to get worse. They are forecasting -49 with windchill  for Monday here. I see Scotland getting hit as well. Stay warm and stay safe my friends. I mean that. Is it true bigger storm hitting Scotland?  BR 1314..

I also hope folk post winter weather updates on this thread if need be with in the guidelines of the rules. . . I am not looking for a pat on the back, but we all know how dangerous roads and weather can be. I see it everyday in my job. Please stay warm and safe all of you.. 🙂

Basic weather rules

If you can’t drive in the snow, don’t fucking drive, you’re just causing problems for everyone. 

 

Fine here, I’m golfing tomorrow, forecast for -2 to start them rising to zero by 9am, can’t wait. 

Totally agree mate. If you cannot handle driving in bad weather, don't. I see it everyday here, but some folk song have a choice unfortunately.

Question now. Car batteries. In the cold weather in Scotland, do they die? I know in Ottawa cars have block heaters and you plug the car in when the temp drops. My SUV was stubborn this morning. -30 last night. 

🤷🏼‍♂️

No bother. Just curious that's all? I expect a full answer in the morning DD. 🤣

You’ll be waiting a long time, I know how to start my car and van, fill up petrol/diesel and screenwash. 

After that, I leave it to someone who knows what he’s talking about 😂

Bastardin’ November and it was -11C this morning. November is never this bad. Usually come Christmas it drops then works it’s way to -40C for 2-3 months but to be this cold already FFS. 

That's global warming for you.

I see a BA flight made it from New York to London in under 5 hours today due to the tailwind.

Record for a subsonic flight.

A shame that the beautiful VC10 finally lost it.   Notable that the new record was by a 747 which is 'past it' now too, though still faster than current jets which fly slower to save fuel.   However, mostly down to the wind as you said.
