Colds not the word for it here in Michigan... It's freezing..  :215-   We got 8-10" of snow from the storm and the temp dropped to -15 with wind chills of -35 last night, and that's in the Detroit Metro area not the UP..  First time since I've lived in this house that I was concerned my pipes might freeze. So I kept the faucets dripping all last night. Just heading back out for round 3 with the snow plow blocking my drive way since yesterday. It's as warm as its going to get outside now +3  :217- :216-  so time to see it the vehicles battery's survived the cold night..  Now I think I understand why my parents moved and retired in Tucson.   :287- :158-

OMG.. It's way too cold to be out there. I got all 3 vehicles to start, but almost didn't get into my truck, the doors were frozen shut. I started it by remote so I had to get inside. Almost ended with frost bite getting it open. I had remove my gloves to grab the door handle. I couldn't feel my fingers by the time it opened. I got my son to clear the drive way while I started everything. They have already cancelled school again tomorrow due to the cold. I'd take pictures but I don't want to freeze the camera.

I won't tell you guys what temperature it is in Tucson right now  :58-.

How in the hell do you guys tolerate life in places that get so cold? About April/May I'll get a better idea I'm sure.

18" to 20"  of snow fell were i am in Michigan. just 10 miles south of me they got about 14" of snow . Rural living has its drawbacks . All my calls today were frozen pipes . Funny thing is people say how did that happen   :279- maybe -16F had something to do with it . Just a guess . Every thing in my service truck a 4500 cab forward GMC 16 ft box is  copper or steel  and it stays cold forever in these temps . Every thing i touch sticks to your hand . This is just stupid cold and then the wind started to whip up . Made great money but froze my A$$ off . Just got over having the flu for 2 weeks and today kicked my but   P.B.

Yeah that's about right. Tucson and most of lower elevation AZ is pretty mild and nice for winter. Summer on the other hand....
I have been around the Bullhead City, Laughlin, Parker, and Lake Havasu areas in the summer and speaking as a guy who was born and raised in Tucson, the heat in that area of AZ is just BLISTERING!
Anyway, I feel for you guys in the cold, I would be pretty upset with temps like what I'm hearing about in the "vortex".

It can be here! It was <32F Thanksgiving morning and I had to warm up the electric smoker with a hair dryer to get it to kick on as it was colder than the lowest temp the controller would recognize!

Mid Michigan here. We had  -17* F last night and it hit +6* F today. We only got 4" snow from that storm. We had the coldest temps not seen in 30 years. No school for the third day. Drifting and freeze bite warnings caused the cancellation.

Rode my Ski-Doo many times in the UP at -20* F .

Should be able ride the Ski-Doo down the frozen Rifle river to the Saginaw Bay now.

Should have enough ice on the Saginaw Bay to drive the truck on to the ice to do some perch and walleye fishing on Sat!

The St. Clair river connecting Lake Huron and Lake St Clair was clogged with ice over the weekend and they had to shut down the Ferry to Canada out of Marine City. Who knows when that will reopen. That forces people to the Blue Water bridge in Port Huron and 50+ mile to a trip. Pictures are not the greatest but Canada's just on the other side, but you couldn't see it through the fog. My phones camera sucks..

We ride are sleds across the ice from St. Ignace to Mackinaw Island. Interesting fact, snowmobiles are the only motorized vehicle allowed on the Island other then the emergency vehicles and planes.

Probably could do that there , right Gary? If a person has a passport!

I just deleted them. I'll have to see about taking a trip over to the river with my regular camera tomorrow.

So have you tried posting them when they appear (to you) to be upside down? Maybe they will be "right side up" when they post?

I've tried a couple different things, and every time I post a phone pic, its upside down in my post. I have had to send the pics to my email, then post them using the computer for them to be correct. I should have known better when I tried it again.

Ok thanks JK..  If that's the case then wouldn't my pictures saved to my phone be upside down? Knowing Apple Co., no...  :60-   Gary

-16* F yet this morning. Hard to believe the weather man says 35* - 40*   for the next 4-5 days

Tim.. I've got that beat, it was -20 at 8am when I went out to drive my daughter to school, and my door on my truck were frozen shut. That was still after a 15 min warm up.. I had to pry open the doors!! I had it out for a drive yesterday to blow off the snow. I'm going to try and repost a pic if the frozen river. I turned my phone over as JK said to do. What a hassle trying to use my left thumb to take the picture not being left handed..

WOW -20* F !!!! Nope can't beat that so far , -17* F was our lowest so far this winter.

Does the river freeze every year or only rarely when we have a winter like this once in 20-30 years?

But it's already 25 degrees warmer at noon. It's a balmy +9* F !

Tim.. It's warmed up a lot here too already, we're at +7f .. As for the river, its usually flowing out in the middle with the ice flows at the edge. We see this usuall every spring when the ice starts breaking up on lake Huron. I've been here since 1996, and this has been the coldest winter yet. Hopefully the roads are good, I have to drive into town to pick up supply's..
