How Cold is it?

Yes, that is a little minus sign next to the 12. Minus 12 degrees Fahrenheit. Really cold.


Somewhere along my drive to work this morning, it registered as low as minus 15 degrees. School was canceled today (kids waiting outside for the buses was the concern) and is also canceled for tomorrow.

At the plant, this frigid weather causes all sorts of problems. The hydrogen production plant next door tripped out and was venting steam. In the bitter cold, the plumes of steam are highly visible:


No worries, it will warm up in a couple of days, but for now, we'll bundle up and try to stay warm!

  1. That was clever--document that temperature. Hopefully that's the last time you'll see something that cold this winter. Fingers-crossed.

  2. Brutal, eh? It looks worse in celsius, but minus anything is just terrible! Stay warm :)
