Pierre the Great Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Nope not here but I heard that the Mountain regions in the Pacific Northwest were going to get some. Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Yeah, it's really coming down fierce right now. It's the right time of year here for snow. If it's like usual, it'll snow till about Monday, Tuesday-Thursday will be mediocre and then next weeked, you'll think it was August again. We don't get consistent snow till around Halloween.

MAK Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Gotta love this time of year. good thing you have those chinooks in febuary. I lived them once and fell in love with them.

Highs in the low 30's! GRRR! Wow, it's that cold down in Missouri? It's been in the upper 70s all week here in Ohio.

Yeah marky, I love the chinooks. Hated them as a kid though, they'd always melt the hills of snow so we couldn't go sledding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Metric system applies here to me. More canadians. Rather use metric anyway sounds cooler since no one down here knows what I'm talking about its like speaking a different language in front of someone who can't speak the language. fun fun fun.

Fanpuck33 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Aside from high school science, Celsius degress always reminds me of my first trip to Canada. We went to Rice Lake (about an hour and a half from Toronto) for a fishing trip and stayed in a non-air conditioned cabin for the week. Now, this was the 2nd week in June and we're in Canada, so we were expecting pretty mild temperatures. By the end of the week, the thermometer had surpassed 40 degrees and it was miserable. But I got to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame and the fishing was great all week, so it was all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not judging, Just curious : does anyone knows how they figured up that freezing point was 32f ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have no idea Marky and Komi, just that as I've gotten older Celisus and the Metric system just makes way more sense then imperial/american units. I remember my first trip to Canada. Took the 401 from Windsor to Niagra Falls. Remember this giant wooden farm house near London. People on that highway drive crazy. We were following the speed limit 100kph and people were looking at us funny while they were flying by us. Got passed by a semi who must have been going 130kph. Can't wait to go back. Miss the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Okay here's a basic conversion 110 F (once every 10 years) = 43 C 100 F (hot day) = 37 C 90 F (summer) = 32 C 80 F (spring/fall) = 26 C 70 F (late fall) = 21 C 60 F (later fall) = 15 C 50 F (thanksgiving) = 10 C 40 F (christmas) = 4 C 30 F (snow in winter) = -1 C 20 F (cold snap) = -6 C 10 F (usually the low in winter during cold snap) = -12 C 0 F (once every couple of years) = -17 C - 5 F (once every 5 years) = -20 C -10 F (once every century) = -23 C Thats Saint Louis weather. During the winter it will go from 50 to 10 in a week. Had 80 degree weather during New Years a few years back, then the next week after that it snowed. Gets a lot of people sick here, Saint Louis weather. I hate it. It can't make up its mind. Either stay cold or stay luke warm!

Pierre the Great Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Yeah its pathetic, What part of Ohio are you from? Family landed in Akron back in the 1920's. Northern Ohio can get lake effect snow and is a little colder from my experiences in the Rubber Capital of the World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Ohio can get lake effect snow and is a little colder from my experiences in the Rubber Capital of the World. Columbus area. Every few months we seem prone to 20-30 shifts in temperatures from one day to the next. Snowstorm one day, thunderstorm the next, that sort of thing.

jetsniper Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 You only get -23 once a century? Damn you're lucky, thats the norm here. We're good for a week of -40 and every couple years, hit -50 (-50 includes windchill though). We had -53 in Grade 8 and I stayed home and then again in Grade 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Sweet. I love the bone chilling cold. Makes me feel alive. Columbus area. Every few months we seem prone to 20-30 shifts in temperatures from one day to the next. Snowstorm one day, thunderstorm the next, that sort of thing. Yeah Fanpuck our cities seem to be in the grey area when it comes to weather. Saint Louis isn't Chicago cold nor is it Kansas City cold (its colder there because its closer to the mountains gets a draft a lot.) Plus Saint Louis is prone to tropical waves every once in a while. I'm probly a rarity, I want to move to Canada because of the weather. :lool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be seeing you guys next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Haha. Surprise is an understatement. Today is a perfect example, 7 AM there is sun everywhere, not a cloud in the sky, birds chirping. I think to myself "Finally, some good weather" and fall back asleep. I wake up at 9:30 and theres clouds everywhere and it's just pouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
