It's very cold here and even colder over at Lake Michigan'
Feels like -45 here with the windchill, for those that don't know what windchill is it's the factor at which the wind pulls the heat away from a heat source- your body.

Crap, that sucks...we're at 8 degrees here, but at least we're used to this stuff at this time of year.
Good luck.
I am so glad to have a fairly new furnace, installed 2 years ago. It's 9 degrees right now in D.C. Wind was HOWLING last night!
We have plenty of food and cable TV and power for the computer. What more could you ask for! :thumbup:
Keith quit cigarettes January 1st, and so far, so good. :clapping::clapping::clapping:
This is the year of health for us. We were going to start walking every morning together, but it's colder than the breast of a sorcerer in D.C. Our dog Mickey only goes outside for brief moments only to relieve himself, and then he flies back inside for the warmth. :embarrassed2:

Dang itz c-c-c-cold !!
Well, it's usually cold in up-state NY, but this is b-a-d. It's 3 deg right now at my house . Wind-chill is - 31 deg at its howling. Went out to start my car and the doors are frozen !! :frown:
Inside ,... comfortably numb, playing 10 Ball ghost. fifties music on the stereo,
brings back memories ,..... :smile:
P.S.
I think the ghost spiked my wine .:grin-square:

My neighbour was out the other day and caught a bunch of perch ... it was only a gazzillion below ... maybe you southerners from Regina are a bit soft
Happy New Year my friend, all the best to you and Sheila.

My fishin Bud is half crazy. he runs from hole to hole, with his sonar and doesn't bother to wear anything on his hands half the time.
He hates filleting Jack because they're big slime balls. Even when I can't make it out with him, he will call and say, "I left a bucket of Jack on your back step".
Sometimes that is the best way to fish.
January is usually a nasty month to fish anyway. Feb and late ice in March are more pleasant.
Finally, I bought a heat strip and insulation for the water pipe. So far so good. Up until last year, I have not had a problem and its been approx 25 years in the same house.
We are probably a little softer due to the fact that we are so much closer to the equator than you guys.

It was cold enough today for the trashmen to NOT show up. The mailman did and brought me some useless coupons!! I did venture out in my pick em up truck and it wouldn't shift out of first for about two miles. So I finally made it to the bar that has a couple pool tables and they were closed... So I drove back home, the good news was the truck tranny did start to shift eventually!!! Feel like a prisoner of the wicked winter and now know why they drink so much in Alaska. There is nothing else to do!
lol ... in reality the weather in Regina is a little worse than here ... you guys get more blizzards blowing through from what I see.
WRT to ice fishing, some of our southern friends may not know that one of these is very handy out on the ice :

It's funny to drive by a frozen lake and see all the huts out in the ice :smile: When the lakes get really frozen then you'll see the half-trucks parked beside the shacks :thumbup:

"don't leave your game on the practice table".
I'm "very originally" from Keosauqua Iowa......Don McCoy was a "cold blooded" killer on the pool table and I saw him many times in my teens.
I played him in Sioux Falls SD at a big tournament years ago and before our match I was practicing and ran 5 racks in a row. Don saw me run them and said sullenly "don't leave your game on the practice table".......I'll never forget that, it was a classic line.

Time to let this thread die down...last post which shows a cool video of a Ice Tsunami in Minnesota....

Thats pretty amazing Bud. Attack of the Ice Crystals. I couldn't tell if that was a lake in the distance. Like late ice break up or something.
It would be interesting to know of what phenomenon would cause that to happen.
Looked like a few tons of ice pushing against the house and they were worried about moving their patio furniture out of harms way.
