How are you all fairing in this cold snap???

Just starting to get some real temp drops here in Mass. Yeah, leaves are still on the front lawn. Mother nature put them there she will take them away.

Leaves still on the ground, and will probably stay now until spring. Can't paint in the garage anymore until I gat a tarp up and warm the area. The boss won't let me paint in the house, even with a paint booth and acrylics. Oh well. I guess it's a fair trade for letting me work on them at all.

Winter's coming so what do you expect? LOL!  Don't bother me one bit. Just gotta roll with the punches Mother Nature throws at you.

Just watch next week we'll be back in the 40's again. She's a little early by my calendar.

I went to sleep in Mississippi, woke up in Minnesota...

Good one, vol! I had a cup of coffee in SE Texas and lunch in Rapid City. Brrrr. Break out the Tamiya Thin...

Glad to see good spirits,, one thing about modelers they have no excuse to be idle. 800 mile wide typhoon caused the jet stream to blow from the north out of the Yukon. We go to hockey games at our local rink and routinely feel cold. This dries your skin burn type of cold. Completely out of the norm weather patterns.  We'll see how this winter plays out.

It's nice,I really enjoy the change of seasons,and this 35-45 degree highs are among my favorite.

Looks like another early winter for me.

Can't help thinking of the Twilight Zone episode "Midnight Sun" .

Cold snap??? It's super nice here in Tucson right now. Might get down into the mid 40's Sunday morning, a big savings from those summer electric bills. But we enjoy it while we can for it heats up again come the end of April.

L. O. L. Arizona I know a lot of folks that have moved there. I got to have 4 seasons. Your dust storms are Awesome.

Gonna need a lotta that frac@*ng  produced natural gas to stay warm again this winter.

Weather man on tv keeps blaming Vance in Canada for sending that cold air our way...........

I'd be happy if Vance could send some of that Canadian oil our way.

   It's weakening and suppose to warm up so we'll see. I don't use that much natural gas as I got into R values and vapor barrier. Their always raising it's cost 3% ,so it's no different from cooling costs. Freezing pipes and some didn't get the chance to blow out their systems. Caught farmers in middle states off guard to harvest a lot of corn. When it gets colder than and ice house 'it's cold'.. I'm no alarmist so I guess I have to adapt to my world.

It just started snowing here in Greenville, TX, which about 45 miles east of Dallas.  10 o'clock news shows it coming down pretty good in Dallas proper.  A rare even this early for this part of Texas...  My old joints are not liking it one bit, by the way.

Cold snap ?  I wish !  107 degrees here yesterday.  My grass is brown and crackly and my swimming pool drops by an inch per day.  On the plus side, Tamiya enamel dries in about 2 minutes........

Super nice here in Central Florida, 66 right now but a front is heading this way with lows in the 40's. Love it! Can't wait for the lower temps.

Illinois.

Was just hit with the edge of a snow front.

I suppose predictions of a repeat of a very cold and snowy winter will be accurate as last year snow also fell prior to Thanksgiving in Illinois.

Cold front? That must be coming at you from Alberta, there's hardly any snow on the ground here now, and the rainstorm and +13ºC temps overnight should get rid of what little we have!

In related news, that oils you want will be coming from Alberta too - - - coincidence?!??

Woke up to some icy roads this morning. MAYHEM IN THE CITY!!!

One would think the ice apocalypse is upon us with everyone freaking out as they are.

So many accidents out on the roads. Crazy!  

As I've been saying the cold of this event is biting if there is any slight wind. It's going to be an autumn for the book. All your commentaries are better than the news take on it. I feel for John Q normal tells it like it is. 107 in Australia it's summer. Oil sand is in many places throughout the northern hemisphere was a smart mind to exploit it.Hmmmm  

  It is supposed to drop to 6 tonight, so im thankful to have shelter and heat.   It is Kansas though, so I will probably be back to shorts by Thanksgiving.

single digits in denver area. moved a workstation from bunker to study with 3 desk lamps with 100 watt incandescent space heaters so it's gets toasty. have 2 1/72 ready to prime. warm enough in the bunker but don't like spraying enamel in house when it's closed up, even with filters. so the first relatively warm day i will be priming a bunch of kits.

Cold snap? Here in Corpus? Hahahaha! I guess we are having a little cooler fall season. There really aint no such thing as winter here. It is funny to watch folks dressed up eskimo style at 60 degrees though.

Ya gotta tell that weatherman the cold weather is not yer fault..............

Alberta clipper maybe Winnipeg definitely the Yukon or Alaska tundra COLD. Cabin fever is a hard thing to deal with if your not predisposed to some sort of project. Everybody I know is never bored. And yes painting indoors isn't an option. The police radio is full of reasons to start a hobby.  

Just saw a news item about a book predicting a 30 year cold snap.

As this is only the second winter of that 30 year span, perhaps I should reconsider a move south...........

Dixie's the closest thing to heaven you'll ever find, Sprue-ce!  

Spruce, I too am a resident of the Sunny South.

Glenn might be "just fine" in Missisisisississi,,,,ummm, down there,,,,,,,but, way up here north of him, we are going to be in the single digits just before sun up.

Not bad for Nashville, TN, eh?  I have a Wisconsin accent yet, after 23 years here, it is hard to say "y'all got a tank heater for my car?" in a southern accent, it just feels wrong, somehow. (my first winter down here, I didn't know why I couldn't find a house with a place to plug the car in in the driveway,,,,,,I got a lot of laughs asking,,,,,,,,now, that doesn't seem so funny)
