It is coming our way in Boston.  We are getting poured on today, then plunging to the teens tonight.  Can you say, "Black Ice"?  Should be a fun commute tomorrow.

We received about 17" of snow yesterday in Michigan and are now expecting the sub-zero temperatures with wind chills around 30 below.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Blame @Ernest Jones he's from Canada :p Its his wind that is causing this unbearable cold.

Speaking of Blame Canada, reminds me of this instant classic

I just got a call from our school district: they've canceled all after-school activities for today (no early dismissal though), and have already canceled school tomorrow.

The low today is supposed to be -5, and the high tomorrow is 7.

In Dayton,

High: -7

Low: -9

There is something messed up with that. Oh and a wind chill of -35 degrees. The reason I am paying 8 bucks to park in the parking deck next to were I work.

Tomorrow, it will be a high of 8 low of 6, so a tad bit better, and the wind dies down.

-22 on the drive in this morning  (windchill estimated -60)

As a fellow Minneapolis resident, I feel your pain. And in case this isn't bad enough... Some idiot in my apartment building decided he/she would pull the fire alarm last night at 2:45 AM and make the building evacuate on the coldest night of the year... for a false alarm.

-18 right now near Milwaukee.   Wind chill -45.  Can't imagine in northern MN what it is like right now.  My parents have a place up there.

Does life just go on haitus when it gets this cold??  I mean, do people continue to go about their days, or does everybody stay home??  Forgive me for my naivete but this is what I'm pretty sure would happen to me if I go outside in that kind of weather:  (at 0:57)

Kind of, yeah. We're pretty hardy, but sub-zero temperatures (F) and wind chills of -30 or below tend to seriously curb life (only because they're transient - if it was a week, you'd see people doing most of their normal things).

Tomorrow's even gonna be cold down here.  I just got an email from one of the local courses promoting a "pay what the temperature is" day for tomorrow.  That tells you something.......!

Back near the 70's on Wed and into the 80's by the weekend though, so I can't complain.  I really feel bad for the rest of you guys.

Here is Milwaukee they actually canceled schools for today on Friday.  The working community is a different story.  I sent my boss(Dad) a text yesterday saying we might have a few people not show up.  He texted me back saying "if they don't they are whimps."  Haha.  The big boss man is kind of a hard ass though... ;-) So far though we have had 29 of 30 people come in.  Our Accounting Manager is the only one who has not and she "claims" to be sick. :-D You really just cannot go outside for very long when it gets this cold.  I remember growing up in Minneapolis though we had days that were between -30 and -40 where you did not dare go outside.

I think it is impossible for that to happen

I know my friend basically ripped that whole giant storm to bits, but enjoyed the movie. I think the main issue is, that it is impossible to create a sustainable storm that large because if it is drawing air that cold, it is drawing very very dry air. Cold air can not hold moisture, hence it can not form a hurricane type structure because it can't sustain the cloud structure. This is why all storms in the winter are clippers or fronts. Only fronts have enough energy to draw in any sort of moisture required to produce clouds like that.

Just saying, but it was a fun movie :-D

easy drive to work - no issues up here - it's cold, it's not an earthquake.  wear layers and take care of your vehicles.

It depends where you are though.  When we lived in DC, Phoenix, etc it was scary bad as the locals really couldn't handle any serious (or not so serious) adverse weather.  We had a big storm in DC one year.  The wife threw on a regular jacket, took the car (not the 4WD, just her normal car) and hopped down to the market to get some groceries (no biggie, it's a little snow).  She finds a parking lot full of SUVs and only men in full winter regalia apparently shopping, stocking up, for the 'blizzard of death'.  At the checkout, one guy sees her in line with a light jacket and just a few groceries and just comments - "you're from the midwest aren't you?" :-P

Pittburgh for a year - no issues, local seemed to handle it ok.  Especially away from the metro.

Midwest?  also no issues at all unless you are in heavy metro areas, then too many transplants and city only drivers.

Although, I spent time in Kittery, maine (spelling?) once and expected drivers to be pros in bitter weather (far north Atlantic coast, right?).  I was disappointed, I saw the most craziest stupid driving behaviors during a really big storm - including a 4WD truck and spinning on a flat stretch of ice.

Yeah, my friends and I watched that movie in the theater ... and I LOVE it!!  Not because it's scientifically correct, but basically the exact opposite.  It's so bad, it's fantastic.

It's like Sharknado with really good production value. ;)

----------------------------------------

@cipher the other thing I think of when its this cold up by you guys is something like this:

At 1:45.  They're standing outside in coats and snow that make it look like it's already zero degrees, and the guy says "wellll, it looks like it's gonna turn cold tomorrow." ;)

That used to be my favorite movie, but I haven't watched it in years.

To my embarrassment, I finally saw this movie for the first time about a week ago.  I love this scene.  I love how he is talking about the lakes that I grew up around as well.  Love it.

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
