    16 degrees right now. It took nearly an hour for me to shovel out a place to stand so I could cook steaks on the grill. It's funny how that thermometer on the grill becomes relatively meaningless when it's that cold.

    I'm guessing Brownsville, TX.

    Central/Northern Maryland aka Westminster, Carroll County. Eight degrees, with a windchill of negative one. Freakin a, and we were in the sixties just a week ago. Our weather in this state is crazy.

    21F here in Chicago right now, last week the temp barely got above 5F, and it looks like it will be the same for next week. But the upside is that after a week of 5F, 21 feels downright balmy.

    My girlfriend just came back from southern CA, and she is hating it here in Chicago. She got back this afternoon and did very little else but complain about the weather sucking majorly here in Chi-town. I don't blame her though, the weather does suck majorly in Chicago.

    In here, London, UK, it is 11oC / 51 F.



    BBC Weather website:-

    During the christmas/New Year preiod in Cambridge, East Anglia, it was often rain but was really cold.



    But I don't mind about that becuase the weather is natural.

    When you said your car was making funny noises, he replied that maybe Seinfeld was in the trunk, doing stand-up comedy. It was a joke.



    I think 'boot' means trunk, and that 'bonnet' means hood, in British/Australian English.



    (Pardon me for intruding.)

    -31C (-23F) again in Ottawa last night as well. I think that I am again the winner of this dismal contest. Ottawa is the second coldest capital city in the world, after Ulan Bator, Mongolia.



    At least this means the ice on the Rideau Canal will finally be thick enough to allow skating (it has been a warm winter until now, so they have not been able to open the Canal for officially permitted skating). Kilometer after kilometer of ice before me on moonlit nights - now that is some compensation for living here.

    Hi Chinney - Wow, I guess that would be an incredible experience - to skate down a river on a moonlit night. Such a thing never even crossed my mind. And you would stay warm because of all the exercise. It must be beautiful to see the moon shining on the ice.

    There's a beautiful part in Annie Dillard's "An American Childhood" that describes one of her neighbors skating down a frozen street through the lighted circles of the streetlights. That's exactly what popped into my head when Chinney wrote that.



    Cheers
