It’s a “Barbecue at twenty below zero” kind of night 🤣

Ha, I have been WISHING for colder weather. Seems like all archery season has been in the 50-60 range. Which is unseasonably warm for PA. I have had almost zero luck with deer moving after early to mid morning.

But you can keep that negative degree garbage up there with you guys

We are actually going to catch some remnants of the hurricane here tomorrow. Get a couple inches of rain.

We had a very unseasonably warm October here. Felt like summer honestly. And then, in the span of one week, it went full bore winter on us.

To reply further, you mention us keeping the really cold weather "up here with us" and it reminds me of a joke I saw the other day.

It is discovered that there was a surveying error back in the day when the border between our nations was established and a small portion of land that has up till now been Canadian should technically be part of the United States. Canada of course has a reputation to uphold of always being nice, so we apologize for the error and begin the process of transferring ownership of said land…but there's one problem. An old couple has lived on this land their farmhouse for decades and it's unknown how they'll react to this news.

But the old man is elated, gleeful like a child, jumping with joy at being told he's going be living in the USA and not Canada anymore.

"That's the best news I've ever heard! You hear that honey? No more of these d*** Canadian winters for us!!!!"

That's pretty good!

I think we had the coldest place in Canada this morning where I live in Nipawin (population 4600 or so). -29 celcius whcih is around -21 Fahrenheit (while our prime minister carbon taxes us for heating our homes in this runaway global warming we're living in….) . That is unseasonably cold even for here this early in November. And we just got a ton of snow this last week as you can see haha.

But I got some bad news for y'all down in 'Murica…it's coming to you! . Well some of you. The ones who are used to it anyway. Apparently a very cold trough of Canadian air is to hit Montana and the Dakotas imminently. But when are those weathermen right anyways?

I watched the weather tonight and saw the trough heading south.We will be in the middle of it early next week.
Yesterday we had a high of 5 degree's and didn't see todays high but it's cool here in Montana.

Well that all sucks I'm up in Alaska where it's warm but heading to Montana on Sunday

It's warm in alaska right now? What gives! Y'all are way further north than my frozen butt! I suppose being about as far from an ocean as it's possible to be might be part of "the saskatchewan frostbite equation"

 

[akdad]

I'm in anchorage so it's close to Alaska it's been like 25-30f above zero not bad at all

 

[Old Rooster]

I never thought I'd ever say I need to go to Alaska to warm up!

 

[Calvin45]

The whole dish looks great. I love fried cabbage.

You've inspired me to make some haluski next week

What is haluski? Tell me more! I might need some

 

[Calvin45]

the deep interior of alaska is no
Doubt truly arctic. But near the coastal regions where most people in Alaska actually live is on average not nearly as cold as Saskatchewan/Manitoba/North Dakota region in winter. Again, "continental" is the word. No massive body of water to regulate things.

If I offered my Wife and kids fried cabbage they would make a sour face but with this dish we have no leftovers. Seen it on Triple D and followed their recipe minus the cheese.

my grill stays active all year....

 

[Dean2]

Good looking chicken dish. BBQed strip loins yesterday on the deck but it was a Balmy -12 so didn't even need a jacket. Has warmed up nicely, gone from -40 during the day last week to being -5 during the day now.

Continuing this discussion about weather and tolerating extremes….

My sister went to Norway for a year after grade 12 on an exchange program quite a while ago now.

She said the Norwegians have a pretty down to earth approach to winter weather and have a common expression that, in English, roughly translates as:

"There is no bad weather, there is only bad clothing"

some truth to it…there's no reason not to go outside during a hailstorm! Wear your helmet and a suit of armour and take it like A MAN!!!!! stop being such a baby!

*note - where there's hail there's lightning….metal suits of armor not recommended -
