Re: This super-detailed satellite photo of the frozen Great Lakes is pretty spectacular
Awesome photo. In Indiana, in my youth, we would take sleds with jury-rigged sails out onto those huge mid-western reservoirs. A frozen lake is a gift.
​
-18°F in my little Adirondack foothill village this a.m., -25°F a bit further north, where I have some hardwood forest.
​
Spent a few hours up there this a.m. with some loggers buying hard maple and black cherry timber from me--they were mildly surprised to see this under-dressed, downstater-transplant so cheery in the chill.
​
Little did they know that kind of temp is like an ice pack on my poor trauma and arthritis riddled back: I haven't felt that good in ages. I even turned off my neurostimulator.
​
Maybe, when I'm really old (you know, like jar and ringo), I'll go sleep in the sun...
​
Naw. I'm not giving up winter. I'll just hire more bed warmers.

Re: This super-detailed satellite photo of the frozen Great Lakes is pretty spectacular
Cool picture!
​
Last week, we hit -30, a record low, I think, with a wind chill of -46. At the mine, we hit -37 and we figured the wind chill had to be in the -50s. That is the coldest I've ever experienced. Our negative numbers lasted close to two weeks.
​
Now it's in the 40s and we're all running around without any coats.

Maybe so but it sure knocked the hell out of your space-time continuum.

That isn't an earthquake effect. We're just naturally backward.
