Originally posted by NordlysWalri don't really like pastures. They prefer ice and snow, which we have plenty of this week (we got 1 foot of snow on Saturday). I could use a little more water to make a proper walrus habitat, though the hot tub on the back deck is a nice touch that walri in the wild don't get to enjoy.
Where do you pasture your walri?
Originally posted by RookRAKYou know, I love it when it's in late February and nearly 80 degrees outside.

Wow, that's colder than it ever gets here. At the moment it's about 20F. A few days ago it was around 40F.
This has been a mild winter, by New Hampshire standards. A few years back we had a January where it got lower than 10 below zero every night. This week is our first really cold spell this year. It makes that run from the house to the hot tub a little unpleasant.
Originally posted by RookRAKIt's only going to make it into the low 70's here today. Then a cold front comes through and we'll only be in the low to mid 60's for the rest of the week.

I have no idea how to convert F to C and I'm too lazy to find out.
It has been -20C here for a little while. Cold front swept through last week giving a -32C morning. Today, a high pressure stalled in the area and a low pressure system was over northeastern Quebec and it pumped cold, windy weather. I forgot to check the weather report, but it couldn't have gotten warmer than -15C not counting the windchill. The winds were about 30-40 km/h. I have a windchill chart around somewhere . . .
Just a taste of Canada for everyone. I experience continental weather because I'm too far from the Great Lakes. So we have a large temperature range compared to the closest town, which sits right on Lake Superior.
I seem to have missed out on a lot. I wish I could have a day off just to hang around the threads and catch up. I have even ignored my clan for a little while.
