I know a guy who lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I was talking to him tonight, he told me that his car wouldn't start this morning because of the cold.
I don't know what typical is for early December in Winnipeg, but looks like it'll be brisk again tonight -- especially the windchill factor.

Note that these are °F.
He tells me that -40 is not unusual, with windchill.
And -40° is that magic temperature for which you don't need to specify C or F.

When I lived in WInipeg in the 90's, we had one stretch where the daytime high never went above -30*C ( -22*F ) for over 30 days.  That was cold!!

I, however, am experiencing very different climate than my Winnipeg friend.

You know it's humid when your softgel defies gravity...

... not to mention popcorn salt that's too clumpy to dispense.

Got diesel?

[Wandering Sagebrush]

About 10 gallons and a full tank.

 

You?  I suspect you’re getting more snow than we are.

 

It’s a pretty morning.

Here's what AccuWeather says the Bend area can expect, snow-wise, over the next few days:

It's a typical amount for Bend. We can get a foot or more, but it's rare.
