2026 Jan Winter Storm Thread

BTW I still wear long johns, a vest, a spencer and a T-shirt in summer, so yeah, "genetically engineered" for the heat on my end too.

What is a "spencer"?

 

[Monkey Man]

A long-sleeved T-shirt that you wear as an undergarment.

Trendy to wear them under short-sleeved T-shirts for decades now. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Whoever engineered that flyover must have been inspired by Hot Wheels.

it’s Canada. So probably engineered by Indians. Only a matter of time until they get highways with 90 degree angles.

Single digit temps overnight, was cold this morning so i fired up the wood stove.
Heating with wood is such a natural, beautiful thing.

-13 on the way to work yesterday and -5 this morning. We haven’t been above freezing in 14 days and, if the forecast holds, it will be another 7 days before we see a high of 32. That’s just not normal for central IN. Unacceptable…

-4 this morning. I ran my wood stove last night/overnight and glad i did.

-5 here. Not that you can tell the difference. It all sucks . We’re not supposed to get above freezing until mid week. That will put us below freezing for ~3 weeks, most of which had single digit daytime highs. Mom Nature can lick my taint…

Same here, all of this "global warming" sucks big time.

C’mon dude, it’s “Climate Change”. Get with the program. I’d pay higher income taxes if someone could guarantee global warming. Cold weather makes me angry. Harshes the shit out of my mellow…

we're getting temps in the high 20s F the next couple of days, which is rare here.

Also, rain in the forecast, which likely means sleet or sleet/rain mix; which means the roads are going to be a circus "slide-show" of idiots.

I stocked up on food knowing this shitshow was coming. Just waiting for the local vids to start being posted...
