its cold out there tonight......

[skunksmash]

its sooo cold out there at the moment, the wife is upstairs, kids are in bed..... so i thought id run a little experiment.

my PC is right by the window so i chucked me jacket on, closed the doors & opened every window in the room.

i then let it sit for 10mins, have a look at my temps

that's some extreme air cooling..... look at the 5970 is practically blowing icicles out the back...

Freezing here in the states.

Once again Florida is having frozen oranges. The only warm places today are California and Arizona at 70 and 72 deg Fahrenheit, respectively.

Man, that "global warming" is gonna get us any day now!

That would be nice if they ran like that all the time.

Hopefully it's not too humid with the cold. I can't see moist cold air being good for warm/hot electronics.

the ice where i live has actually now become DEADLY!! you can forget going anywhere on foot, its ok when there's a bit of crunch underfoot, but sheet ice is a real pest...... as im right out in the countryside, the pathways are terrible.

Usually on the morning my computer is at 7 or 20 or something.

*Picture below was taken by some ..uh.."Dick" called Steffan Rickard who used to live near me.

Although this picture was taken a while back, the winter isn't really much different this year.

-25c 21:58

Well, of course Sweden is gonna be snowing
Meant to be snowing here in the south west at 3 o clock in the afternoon. no sign of snow since then
also meant to be snowing at 11 pm, but i highly doubt it.

Hey Skunk,

You need to be able to get to the cake shop!

I'm using these

Rud Shoe Chains - UK Shoe Size 10 to 12

Recommend them. No more mincing to the bakers

Hah, yeah, I heard my friend who lives in some place called Sunderland in England was complaining about lots of Snow (More snow than he's ever had), and it being -4 or something, I should let him ride on a bike to school in my weather..At 3am..cos you thought you clock was upside down and saying 9am, yeah...I'm an idiot but still.

 

[Dom]

Lol everywhere else in Britain everyones had snow today. Apart from this small town I live in...

Oh yeah it's brutal! *i think it's gonna be 75F today... shall i go to the beach or lounge around my house in a tank top and shorts?*
seriously, the weather here is the biggest reason i don't run my cpu overclocked much (plus the location of my pc doesn't make the matter any better)

Well everywhere around me is white today, we had a bit of snow this morning but that was on top of some still left from the other day which was ice so my daughter went to the shop for me, too dangerous for me to walk on.
Then we had a couple of hours of blue sky and sunshine, lulled into a sense of false security, went grey and the heavens opened with lots of snow my local weather earlier was showing the temp as -2°C but is now 1°C but it's only 9.30 pm so still time for it to plummet, thank goodness for central heating which we've only had for the last couple of years

Hmm just woke up to 1 inch of snow. Not as much as hopped, but at least no school
