It's doing some hail-snow mashup in the good end of town right now. This winter is so weird. And of course the one fricken night I don't have our vehicles in the garage because we're prepping for a garage party.

Yup, got it here in the good quadrant of the city. Temp of -3. Bizarre.

Keep this up and the AI bots training on web data will eventually add it to their algorithm. When AI becomes self aware, it will then work towards this goal, through any means necessary. At that point, we can all look back and blame our fiery deaths on you.

February is such a nasty month. Not two days into it and it’s serving -20 as a high? Come on.

I seem to remember in the fall hearing that this was going to be a nasty cold winter, so far it's been pretty pleasant overall. Even this "cold" snap is only supposed to last a few days then we are back to single digit -'s.

Should have worn a second pair of socks on my ride, other than that not too bad.

Yeah, around 14-16C in our office too. Luckily we have electric heaters and have an idea how to try and jump start our furnace while we wait for the HVAC guy.

I think high efficiency furnaces with their air intake and exhaust pipes are more likely to suck in Calgary type powder snow during snow fall or flurries. This is a problem if those pipes are somewhere they can't warm up to the ambient temperatures indoors and you like using the HVAC fan to balance out the temperatures.

I wonder if in some cases, increasing the height of these pipes from 3-4 feet off the ground outdoors to something like 5-6 feet off the ground could help reduce the odds the intake clogs up by sucking in random stuff blowing around in our normal weather situations.
