This cold snap is killing me

Seanr7

I haven't EGGed in over ten days, it's been too cold, snowy and icy to be outside. I'm ready for some above freezing temps

Egg year round just dress warm and get some good scotch and you'll be fine!

Charlesmaneri

+1 egg year round dress warm and get some good scotch and you'll be fine and you might what to get yourself a outdoor heater like this one 

Seanr7

Not with wind chill's below zero Fahrenheit I'm out.

Charlesmaneri

you would be suprised how effective the heater is I was out side Eggin on Sunday in a snow storm and I was fine  

Nsdexter

the year before i left ontario we had minus forty routinely with wind chill, some long under wear and a good coat and you barely notice the ball numbing cold! I've never tried an outdoor heater but wouldnt be a bad idea...

It's snowing here right now, have about 2 or 3 inches already. I have a chicken spatchcocked and drying in the fridge for dinner tonight.

@Seanr7 - where you at? Maybe think about putting location in the signature line like many of us have done. 

Sure has been cold on the Canuck prairies. 

robnybbq

Yep - going on two weeks with no Egg.  And it does not look promising for another few weeks.  I got to go get tarp to cover the Egg and cabinet its in as it may not see use until spring.

I'm in Oklahoma, we aren't used to this. The average high temp this time of year is 59-60. We haven't been above freezing since last Wed night.

I am sort of embarrassed to say this but it has been relatively mild here. Cool this morning but that has been it.

was almost able to walk on water last week but then it started to thaw, please send it east. a couple cold nights this week, maybe this weekend, my ice fishing traps are on the coffee table and the augers in the kitchen.

@Charlesmaneri that looks like a nice way to turn a tank into a heater!  Harbor Freight?

I don't even know how to describe our weather in Los Angeles

This is my egg on Sunday, just before I put on the steaks to start the reverse sear.  Not sure how cold it was that night (I'm in Chicago) but, after travelling for two weeks, I was going to cook something regardless of the weather.

Gotta admit I have had more issues with the egg self sealing (freezing) at the gasket already this year than for the past 2-3 full winter seasons.  Never a show stopper just a pain.  Global warming has to even this out soon >-

Charlesmaneri the Cowboys could have used a couple of those heaters last night!

The cold snap almost killed my Egg. It didn't even occur to me to move it out from under our large tree.

Pulled a 15 ft branch off our patio. There is still one up there that is probably 18 ft that I need an extra set of hands or two and some ladders to get down.

There were comparing the high to temperatures on Mars in Alberta last weekend. We had the coldest place on the planet on friday as well i think here, I dont recall the town though. Egged some chicken still. had to, and im glad I did, love this chicken.

Seanr7

You Canadians are an odd lot! . I'd never even venture outside if temps got that low, although 115 f I can handle.

Below 0* it all feels the same as long as there isn't a wind.

At 115ºF us Canucks just sizzle on the sidewalk like an egg..... You can always dress for the cold, but you can only take so much off...eh?

That's because all that Northern Air is down here.

have only been in weather that cold once, was amazed how you dont feel the cold like you would think you would, and how quickly a heated molson freezes while holding it in your hand ) since the old torino wasnt even going to turn over, i was held hostage at a hotel with a  margarita bar, i think im still paying that bill )

Welcome to Canada sir!

I've been trying to move my woodworking stuff to our basement and the cold weather really makes it tougher. I've been too tired and or sore to egg for a couple of Weeks.

DMW

Got about 4 or 5 inches of snow today, its all good.

Loosemoose

I work outside a lot in this crap. I will egg in it. I did last night but tonight I'm staying inside where its nice and warm.
