ExiledInIllinois Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) No escape. We are getting a high of -14° on Wednesday. 230 miles away @ Southern Tip of L.Michigan. Your a little more protected on windward side of Lake (G.Bay) than here. Rolling geography and Lake.

Not even close. Not at all. I have been here since 1992... We have been in the high -20s°F real temps... All time Chicago (Official) low is: -27°F (1985). High was 105°F (1934). Remember warmer in City. Records were kept at Midway, now O'Hare. I am outlying, South of City on Indiana Line. Colder here. Compare that to BFLo, alee/protected and insulated by Lake... Slightly warmer in winter, cooler in summer: -20°F (1934/1961) and 99°F (1948). I never felt it as cold in BFLo as out here and when I lived in Iowa. Green Bay now -36°F (1888) & 104°F (1936).

Frost Line is about 40". Pipes are 48" deep. Never had issues, even @ -30°F. Couple years ago in the Arrowhead of Minnesota skiing near Thunder Bay, Ontario... It was -30°F... I got up every 3 hours at hotel to start my Jeep... Should have had an engine block heater. But, where do you plug in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gates are 220 tons each and at these temperatures (with head, difference in water between elevations), the gates "jump" up and down, all 220 tons of steel, on the hinges (bronze pintle ball on steel 20 feet below surface of water). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 In WNY, they close schools because of snow. In the Midwest, they close schools because of the bitter cold. The first time it happened after we moved here, they said, "Exposed flesh will freeze in less than a minute." Yeah, you don't want kids standing at the bus stop in those temperatures. Heck, that's not even enough time to get from the parking lot to the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually not, the extremes of cold and hot are more frequent and the spread is broader. Same thing for violent weather, there are more extremes. The average temperature on Earth is rising that is verifiable and proven fact. The debate is about what’s is causing it. You can no go put your head back in the sand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can no go put your head back in the sand. Actually if you go to page 12 of the controversial opinion thread I quote someone who says global warming is fake news and say pretty much exactly what you say here, global warming is fact not fake, what is debatable is if it is man-made or naturally occurring phenomenon. I go on to say that regardless of what side of the debate you support, it won't hurt to decrease one's carbon footprint. Was just kidding here. But I shouldn't have done that as it is a controversial subject, have deleted that post. 15 minutes ago, K-9 said: There it is.

Global warming heats up the Arctic circle. Warmer Arctic air rises, pushing the icy jet stream south. The icy jet stream brings to the US, Europe, and Asia much colder air than we used to get. Temperatures go down, making our winters longer and colder. 14 minutes ago, Steve O said: Actually if you go to page 12 of the controversial opinion thread I quote someone who says global warming is fake news and say pretty much exactly what you say here, global warming is fact not fake, what is debatable is if it is man-made or naturally occurring phenomenon.

It’s just uncanny how short a time it takes for someone to mention global warming when discussing cold temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
