This was how I got the concrete plant in the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains up and running when everything was iced over.

Good old ALICE frame. Those things have seen more ways to be used.

next week here is a bit of more seasonal winter temps........but it seems to be bringing more Arctic cold brutality in mid-February.......man this winter is hard and brutal with the temps and the cold wind chill

the "feels like" is the real deal......it can be -13 but with wind chill feels like -25
that is dangerous for everything for us humans

You're located in the Toronto area?

yes sir, Toronto it is

currently feels like -16 C.

 

[Davey Crockett]

I will trade any house up in Toronto for my rental in Oklahoma at -9°F this morning.

Day nine with no running water. Kitchen around 45°F.

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

Yeah, that's cold. I'll pass on coming up there anytime soon.

That is insane weather, here we had temp drop to 5-0C and we get frustrated.

 

[PK781]

June/July/August/September is the best time to come, for full enjoyment.

Oh I've been there at least a dozen times over the years. Mostly in the winter than the summer.

Any trips now would be voluntary. Not work-related.

My coworkers in FLL are convinced the glaciers are just up the road a bit at the moment.

I have the blow torch and actually used that two years ago to kill the nasty foliage trying to break through the new asphalt pavement. But it is literally like a 'nuclear option' for me to use against some stubborn ice on the front pavers.

I don't know why immigrants flock to the cities like Toronto, Dallas, Chicago, NYC... too hot summer and too cold winters. I guess $$ and your own 'culture' is everything in life.

It will be ok, unless you are roasting the pavers.

Two words: economic opportunities.

After futile attempt to make the ice on the pavers melt, I thought of using the blow torch but decided against that. As I said, I have dug a path on the grass next to the front steps to get out of the house.
I don't believe in killing mosquito with hammer. It will melt, it shall pass.

Of course. Everyone knows that. But when my distant relatives in Houston complain about the heat there worse than even Karachi...
There is always a middle ground, especially in a large country like America, even if you can't afford San Diego or Los Angeles, which I can't myself. Immigrants, unless they have to 'support' someone, are some ghetto, unimaginative people!
