Thats just windchill. What will the real baseline temp be?

 

[Rose]

Hey Canadians - why don't you just keep that shit up there. I'd like to keep my 57f for as long as I can and enjoy every bit of it.

 

[unclehobart]

I'm probably alone here in that I want a nasty cold snap to shoot through here as it will kill off a great deal of flies and mosquitos.

you still have mosquitos? ours are long gone....but we spray because of west nile...it's all over the place.

-21F (Cold enough in it's own right)

 

[unclehobart]

-21 would indeed be cold enough. I've experienced -35 once. It wasn't so much cold as it was a burning sensation. You can keep it.

Yeah... still have some bugs. Not nearly as many up and running about right now. What I'm concerned about is all of the dormant larvae all over the place. It takes a good cold snap to wipe most of that out so that the spring doesn't become a mass bug-plosion.

 

[Nixy]

-21F?

Bish! Give it to me straight! I can take it!!! (note: "straight" = in celcius"
