Snow and coldsteemCreated with Sketch.

in esteem •  6 years ago 

Last night I noticed this methodical shoveling pattern in the snow along the front sidewalk.So at midnight in bitter cold temperatures, I was outdoors attempting to capture a photo before the wind messed it up.

l am glad that I did. We got more snow overnight and the shoveling pattern is no longer there.

Tonight will bring our coldest temperatures so far this winter.

- 27F/-55C

wow. nice post. thank you for sharing this post.

OMG Melinda that is way way cold!
Meanwhile we are +38° F / 3.3 C
That C stuff sounds much colder! :-)
Very trippy shoveling patterns!
Have you thrown a cup of hot
water into the cold air yet?? lol
Keep warm my friend!

Hard to believe that you have such balmy temperatures and we have this! I don't know if I even want to open the door to try the water throwing trick!

See this pink purple stuff on the
map
It was over us last week or so! Mouse over
it and it will show the temps. Many other settings.
Oh you must try the water trick it at least three times :-)

Great map! I know that you understand cold I think tomorrow is supposed to be our coldest day. I will try the water trick when my daughter comes tomorrow so that she can throw the water and I can take pictures. Does it matter if it's hot water or cold water?

Throwing hot water in cold air type those words into youtube search
to see other vids, some talk about it. It also makes sounds :-)

That's unreasonably cold! Stay warm!

It is definitely cold! I'll be snuggled up indoors!

Nice caption. This will be my first time of seeing this type of snow

It is pretty deep and very cold!

-55 C????? That's too much! I'm freezing here with -5° C. Ohhh snow looks so beautiful! I've never seen it, It seems like there is not going to snow in this area of Spain.

Saw this from a poem by ' anonymous'

"Oh, how I love Wisconsin
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose gets frozen shut"

Yep.... You haven't lived until the inside of your nose freezes shut! Enjoy your sunny days!

Buenas tardes amiga @melinda010100 le deseo que se encuentre bien . A esa temperatura donde vive usted yo no podría vivir amiga se ve en esas imágenes la nieve por todos lados . Deseo que tenga una gran tarde y noche y que mi Dios me la proteja amiga .

esto es frío extremo tienen las escuelas cerradas porque es peligroso para los niños estar al aire libre. Espero que se caliente un poco muy pronto.

Si amiga Dios quiera que mejore esa temperatura y que usen calefacción , aquí la situación está empeorando más deseando que saquen este gobierno y vuelva Venezuela como era hace 20 años atrás . Cuídese amiga

Extraordinary moments, to get this beautiful result. It must be cold there. But my child is very fond of snow, let alone a snowman. Thank you for sharing my friend. Enjoy winter with family, and always be healthy

Keep warm @melinda010100

Thanks! It's not bad when viewed through the window!

Beautiful snow. We have no snow here. Our temperature is going below zero tonight. Staying warm here. Snuggle time has arrived.

Love

It is a great day to have the oven on and do some baking!

What goodies are coming out of your oven these days.

Mine is biscuts and gravy.

Love

I made rice pudding and a batch of chocolate oatmeal cookies. Biscuits and gravy sound really tempting though!

I have been putting off making sweets. Yours sounds so good.

Love

I make and eat far too many sweets, I don't think my daughter and her husband mind that I share them with them!

I find it good to share also.

Love

If only we could go back to childhood, when school being closed was the absolutely best thing that could ever happen ! Many of fun snow days spent sledding and building snow people on those days. ..... and snow cream ! mmmmMMmmmmmyummy !

Brrrrrrrrrrrr... :)

Fun times, but there will be nobody playing in the snow for a few days. It is dangerously cold outside. I talked to my grandson and he spent his snow day in his pajamas!

I did read about some areas where they were asking folks not to go out. I hope I never know what that is like....LOL.... sorry.....

My son call tonight to tell me that his office is going to be closed tomorrow in Chicago and they're telling all of their employees to stay home. He says it feels like most of the city is going to be shut down. But then I got a phone call from my daughter and she is out in this tonight. Her employer was not feeling well and needed to go to the emergency room at the hospital and called my daughter for transportation. So now I am worrying about her until I hear that she is safely back home.

Wow! We have a good amount of snow here in Tahoe but you have us beat by a long shot with the temperature. Brrrr!

It is certainly cold! And the snow is light and fluffy, at least!

Nice! The light and fluffy part...

It certainly makes it is easier on my snow removal guy!

It certainly makes
It is easier on my
Snow removal guy!

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Yup! I love that type of snow. It hasn't snowed for a little while here so it's all firm and icy. Fresh snow is supposed to arrive this weekend though...

We are - 25° here tonight, and they are predicting rain on Friday. Bizarre weather!

Crazy... Good luck with that.

If in the news I saw that it is a great cold front and the temperatures will be really low. Cover yourself well from the cold

My son called tonight to tell me that his office is going to be closed tomorrow in Chicago and they are telling all their employees to stay home. He said it sounds like most of the city is shutting down because of the cold. This is a very unsafe temperature for anyone to be out in. I'm glad I can watch it through the window!

If I just saw that the temperature will be colder than Antarctica and that this cold can be very dangerous and even cause blindness. When my mom heard this I wonder how were you. And she hopes that this cold does not affect you very much ... She always asks about you and how are you

Tell her it is toasty warm in my house and I have no plans to even open the door! It will warm back up out of the danger zone by Friday.

Good havens! - 55C ! Brrr! I am not going anywhere in that weather!

My son called tonight and said that his entire office in Chicago is closed tomorrow. He said that it felt like most of the city was shutting down and telling everyone to stay home
My daughter just sent me a text though and she is out tonight in this. Her employer was not feeling well and needed to go to the emergency room at the hospital and called my daughter for transportation. So that will cause me a bit of worry until she is safely home.

wow ... a cold blast. This is not usual this time of the year, is it?

I hope your daughter's employer knows the meaning of gratitude.

I think her employer is overly dependent on her. But she usually is compensated well for it.

We do get a few days of extreme cold every winter. This cold snap is a bit more extreme because of the wind.

Ah, the wind chill factor.

Ooucchh @melinda010100.. what an effort just to get that pictures, stay warm and nice captures anyway😉 the pattern on the first pic made by the snow cleaner machine?

super!

Howdy Melinda! -27 lol...oh that's not even funny, that hurst to think about it. Great snow shoveling patterns there, that's a really cool shot and thanks for braving the weather to get it! I got on here tonight to talk to you more than anyone and Now I see it's 12:38 so I'm sorry I'm so late!

I have missed you terribly! You do keep me motivated. I am so glad that your internet connection is repaired and I do hope that you find it is a bit faster! I really don't know how you do all that you do with such a slow and unreliable connection. It makes your numbers even more impressive!

My phone is saying it's - 25° out there right now. My new furnace is getting a workout. The crazy part of all this is it is supposed to get up to 45°and rain on Sunday.

Howdy Melinda! trying to catch up on some of my comments, so good to hear from you even though this was 17 hours ago! lol. The weather has been what the news has been talking about everytime I've heard it. I think they said in Great Falls, MN it could actually hit -80 tonight??? That's crazy!
But you guys have a big warmup coming like we do on Sunday, that's going to feel hot compared to now. So far the internet connection is steady and maybe a little faster but I haven't really loaded one of the big posts with dozens of photos on it either, those would always take 5 or 10 minutes or would never load! lol.

And dtube would never play either, well, maybe half the time and I haven't gone to alot of those but I tried one and it played, I'll have to try another one. I think tomorrow we're switching to the 25 mps, right now we have 10-15mps. So that should be a big improvement. Heck just having it run consistently will be a big improvement.

Yeah, this weather is crazy! Check out my hot water challenge post from yesterday.

It will be so great if you actually can get faster internet. You will be unstoppable!

I don't know about unstoppable but it would be easier to maintain my current "work" load that's for sure. I'll go look at the hot water challenge, that sounds interesting!
