Mid-day Tuesday.
Prescott Valley, Arizona.
Temperature: 41° Fahrenheit, 5° Celsius.
WHAT???
Now that's in Phoenix or Tucson or Yuma.
But I live up here at around 5,000 feet elevation in the Central Highlands.
It gets colder here.
I said to my eye doctor the other day when the wind was howling and the temperature was about like this or colder "I did not move to Arizona for this!"
(He was born in Montreal and went to school in Toronto before moving to the U.S. of A.)
He said, "I forget, where did you move from?"
I said, "North Dakota. About 50 miles south of your country. Saskatchewan."
He chuckled and said "Now that's REAL Canada!"
But I know that this too shall pass.
Once again it will be balmy.
And, after all, we handle it better than the folks in the South.
If you freeze to death in your bed tonight, I just want you to know that it's been nice making your acquaintance and I'll take over the "Friday Funnies" when you're gone.
ReplyDeleteAwwww. That's what true friends are for!
DeleteHaving lived through several ice storms in Georgia, your last photo is right on. 🤣
ReplyDeleteLOL!
DeleteAnd yet after waking up to 17 degrees this morning this afternoon was almost 50! I went from a down coat, hat, and gloves to a down vest! Gotta love it!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter where they put us or where we put ourselves we're going to complain about the weather.
ReplyDelete"Whether it's cold, or whether it's hot, they're's goin' to be weather, whether or not." Can't remember where that came from but I remember it from when I was a kid. Some radio show or something.
DeleteIt is +4˚C here and raining. Crazy weather.
ReplyDeleteIt has not gotten above 60 for more than a hour in the last few days here on the California central coast. The cats have been pissed off by that. They start gathering by the back door about 1:30PM tc
ReplyDeleteIn Southern California, if it drops below 70 people are in those puffy jackets and scarves. They are freezing!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a little colder for the past week about -5 to-10C, which I am just going to guess is roughly about 25 to 15. Now I am going to look it up -- actually 23 to 14. It's closer to the freezing point now, so we may get some rain or freezing rain or both in turn.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest son, who lives in Miami, thinks it is freezing if it drops below 70. They put on coats then! We have had a roller coaster weatherwise this week, from 15 the other morning to 55 today. It will either kill us or make us, as my Dad used to say.
ReplyDeleteHandy how the snow falls everywhere except on the roads in Canada (*~*)
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting between 36C and 39C tomorrow, that's between 96F and 100F.
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to be warmer here tomorrow, the high is supposed to get up to freezing. The low tonight is supposed to be 17.
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to get really, really cold here in Illinois over the weekend, -9 degrees! Yikes!
ReplyDeletePeople in London respond like southerners. Londoners have no idea how to deal with snow.
ReplyDeleteI grew up around Toronto. Some of the weather forecasters would go into Donner Party mode if there was ten centimeters of snow in the forecast.
