yesterday  it  was  a  nice  58, and  just about  sundown,  the  wind  whipped up  and @ sunrise  it  was  4 below...  I don't think  I've ever seen  a 62 degree drop in 12 hours.

We only went from 30*F to -13*F overnight. Not supposed to get above zero until about thursday at the earliest.

Tell me about it, Monday morning we had -32*f and Tuesday pm we had +43*f.....75 degree swing in 36 hours everyone had doors and windows open and wearing t-shirts Tuesday. Now we are at -10 again and looks to be 0 to -10 for the next week.Funny how 6 weeks change things, a couple months ago 43 was cold as hell, now it is beautiful. :clap:Thing is these wild temp swings are not unusual for us here in ND.I remember as a kid in the early 1980's in mid July it went from 80's to snow flying in a half an hour.

I've also seen those kind of weird swings here in Idaho go from 85-90*F weather fighting forest fires to 32-35*F and watching it snow on your fire make you really wonder.

Haha, we have a saying here in the PNW. I'm sure it could be said in other areas as well. Usually it happens in the fall and spring most of the time for us.

 

"Ahh, the PNW, four seasons in a day..."

Most common saying in our area is.............." If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes and it will change." a lot of days this is as true as it gets.

Went down to the P's on Friday morning.  I woke up Friday  6:00AM with the temps at my house at 15*F.  I left my house to head South to the P's at 11:00AM with the temps a my place at 25*F.

 

I get to my P's place an hour later at 12:00PM and the temp is 44*F down there………………….60 miles South.  Only difference being that I have 12" of snow cover at my house and my P's had almost none!!

 

Saturday was warmer, and I went with my P's down to my Dad's best friends house for a Christmas "get together"……………..another 20 South.  Twas almost 50*F down there on Saturday.  I got home about 9:15PM Saturday night and the temp was 34* at my house.

 

Woke up Sunday morning with a temp of 34*F………………..and within an hour, the temp had dropped to 23*F with freezing drizzle!!!!  Yeah, it was a skating rink here yesterday!!!

 

Woke up this AM and it was -8*F here and never got above 5*F here today.

 

Gonna be a colder one here tonite.

At 8:15PM my time, it's a balmy 2*F at my my house now.

 

Just remember, the colder it gets, the drier it gets and doesn't FEEL as cold!!!!    

We havent really changed to much in temps here. Stays between -25 and -30 at night and comes up to about -10 in the day time if we are lucky. What gets me is the wind chill. At most any given time there is at least a 20* wind chill factor on top of whatever the ambient temp is. I think friday we are supposed to come up to about 15 above. That will feel nice.
