I've been wondering if a few nights here it didn't       get a lot colder than the weather app said it would. I've seen the       same temperature given on 2 nights, and one night the water pails       in the kitchen was filled with ice the next morning and yet the       next night that didn't happen.              RM> I'm surprised that you often get slightly colder temps       RM> than I do. Parry Sound is roughly the same distance North,              AA>It's just the way the "vortex" is behaving this year. I would        >expect your area to be somewhat moderated my the lake/bay        >though.              Somewhat, but by this late in the winter all the open water is       frozen over for miles out, plus the coldest days would have wind       coming from the North which would not pass over the water here.              I was watching snowmobiles a ways out from my place on the main       channel that big ships use this afternoon. It tends to freeze       there last and 'least' so there's got to be a lot of ice for a       long ways out.              I'm currently sitting here listening to the wind howling through the       trees. That's been happening a lot this winter and I don't remember       it being that frequent in the past when I was staying here, but       that could be a memory issue rather than a weather change.. B)              The most exciting day here I remember happened in late November       one year. I don't think it was snowing at the time but the wind       was reported to have hit 165 kph (100 mph) and I seriously wondered       if the building would still be standing the next day, being built       at the top of a hill and up on pillars of variable height to level       the place from a few inches in places to over 3 feet high, mostly       at the front which was the direction the wind was coming from.              ---        * SLMR Rob * Heredity: If your parents had no kids, you won't either        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/305 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 114 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 705       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 396/45 460/58 712/848 902/26       SEEN-BY: 2320/0 105 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
