Holy mackerel. Keep it down to your end of the lake please! -8 here right now, that's enough. Funny thing is, I think Ontario is helping keep it a bit warmer. It was -4 this am here, but by the time I got to work more inland away from the lake it was -9.
What a way to take the fun out of ice fishing. Hopefully things get better over the next couple of weeks for you.

When I woke up this morning I had -28
, thinking to myself, wow 60 more degrees and we would be at freezing.
Did not want to know what the wind chill was.

AAAUUGGGHHH. It's not frozen! They said the same thing last year. Mean while, you can still see the water flowing over the falls. I guess it helps tourism. It only ever stopped (except for when it was diverted) once due to an up river ice jam in the 1800's. If it ever actually froze...it would be like "The Day After Tomorrow".
Sorry, pet peeve. BTW, I can still see open water on Lake Ontario.
True, the main flow is not frozen, but smaller flows are and so is the entire area surrounding the falls. It's a beautiful frozen landscape, from a distance.
Lake Erie is now almost 100% frozen over. It looks like the ice cover this year is getting a bit ahead of last year's at this date.

Most of the surrounding landscape (and the people walking through it, lol) freezes every year, because of the mist. It is pretty though. I hate that Erie is so frozen. It'll take forever for them to release the ice boom.
The coldest i can remember here is 17 below back in the 90s So possibly a record for this date tonight but not for the season.
Too damn cold. I hope this passes soon. Is the 30 heating the place all by its lonesome self or are you also running the pellet stove?
The coldest I've ever been in my life was 10 years ago in Portage Wisconsin, checking out ( and buying) Da Dix. Vetted her on ice at - 30F with the wind chill ... she passed 
Low for tonight here - 17 F+ the wind chill here in Icey Hollow. PE & Englander, don't fail me now !!
On the plus side, it'll be 30F here on Saturday

75 in the PE room, 76 in the 13 area.....0 outside with out the wind chill. Both stoves loaded. 5 AM alarm ready to roll.
Murph was in & out, no fuss (actually had a quizzical look on his face, lol !!)
We'll see how this plays out.

I've been a resident of New England for the vast majority of my years on this planet (spent one year in balmy Virginia). I had horses and was required to be outdoors every day regardless of weather or temperature. I learned to "dress appropriately" and that grousing about the conditions would do nothing to change them. It was easier to be prepared and keep busy. Our thermometer is defunct (hence the questions about weather stations) and to tell you the truth, I'm not really sure that's a "bad thing".
I returned from my forced march yesterday in flurries. I checked and replied to e-mail, looked out the window and it was snowing to beat the band! I heard the wind pick up last night and it was still whistling around when I took the dog out at 5AM and continues to do so. The snow is swirling around and it's cold! I am not convinced knowing how cold is really important.
I know I will definitely sport a balaclava if I opt for the forced march this afternoon.
I am looking forward to a break in the really cold temperatures; we're due, it's time, and it will arrive. The only question is when.
