-4°C right now in Vancouver. There's still some unmelted snow on the ground from Last week and some of the roads are very slippery. Doesn't seem so cold anymore after reading your Posts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Looks like we've hit -47 and that's the lowest it's going to be for a while....I hope!

Woke up without any hot water as my pipes froze. For those of you in warmer climates, hot water pipes ALWAYS freeze before cold. No idea why...


At a guess, I'd say the hot water pipes are either smaller than the cold pipes (less water = faster freezing)

Hot water has less dissolved air/oxygen in it than cold water. That's why hot water in the ice cube trays will freeze faster than cold water.

Yeah, that might be more the case as hot water pipes are the same size as cold water pipes. My understanding was that this was one of the mysteries of physics. Like why coffee stains form rings instead of a patch (althoguh that one was solved...)

Renegade, I heard that there was a resteraunt or hotel in your town that was trying to save money by cutting off the heat before Xmas and woke up to find all their pipes burst and water damaged everything. True?

We are looking at the possiblity, note I said possibility, of freezing rain or light snow by the end of this weekend.

I say possibility because our weather forcasters are about as reliable as an 89 Ford Taurus. (And brother those cars are horridly* unreliable.)

*When I say horridly, I mean so fricking horridly unreliable that I would rather walk then risk driving one of those POS. The worse car Ford ever made.

The next best weather forcaster we have is my Grandpa. He is a witch doctor and realies upon that old arcain book, the Farmers Almanac. Oh laugh if you must, but the truth be told, he is right more time than the local news weather voodoo practicer.

Right now its just kinda cold. At nights it becomes fricking cold. And if the cold front hits, it will become GD Fricking Cold. In that case, I am selling everything to migrating escamo's (sp) and moving to south america. At least i will be close to source for many raw materials needed to make medications. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I'm not sure, but knowing the establishment and owners, it's entirely possible http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Hey, that IS global warming! Blizzard? Global warming! Heat wave? Global warming! Flood? Global warming! Drought? Global warming! Hurricane? Global warming! Tsunami? Global warming! In fact, about the only thing global warming DOESN'T cause is mild weather! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif
