Ya, people drive too quickly. You aren't going to take turns at regular speeds when you are driving on an ice rink.

Got hit two years ago while waiting at a light because of this. Buddy tried to turn the corner at regular speed and of course locked up and came straight into me.

It's called clown range for a reason.

:think:
I just checked back for IMBY, looks like Dec 27, 2021 had a midnight tmax of -9.1c, otherwise the afternoon tmax was -10.0c.

I'll have to do some digging on that later, but for YVR I have a feeling we may have to go back to 1968-69 for that one. Of course it hasn't happened yet, so we'll see...

Snowing lightly here, about 1.5 cm Looking at Windy.com radar animation, I don't think we're going to get much more. Temp down to minus 5 now.

Of course, but that'd be a nice streak to break/match... 50+ years.

Thank for all the info Typer, appreciate it.

Personal attacks not necessary. I'm just making an observation. Please don't do that again.

Being close to a large body of water enhances temperature changes, it will drop over your way different dynamics could be at play causing a slower decline bro all good. :thumbup:

I really don't think the comment was made as an attack. If anything it was sorta self-deprecating since he said he himself was like one.
