Groundhog's got himself a cushy job this year; we haven't even had winter yet, of course spring's here.

 

Booooo. Hope I get one more decent snow at least.

 

I've always called the other lamp you have in your comparison pic a "hurricane lamp" .

 

2/6/08 I39/90 In Janesville WI 2000 vehicles were stuck overnight. Public backlash ensued. As a result now whenever there is a possibility of severe weather they shut the interstate down. Possibly the other end of the spectrum?
Anyway we are toward the end of the storm that wasn't Last week they were predicting 10-15"+ The storm tracked north and we got 1/2" of slush and it's still above freezing

 

We have one we use occasionally. We call it a Hurricane lamp.

 

The Polar vortex has set in...

 

Yes it has.
Truck temp read 0* this morning on the way in.
brrrr

 

My in-laws get the Lehmans catalogue and I look through it quite often when we're visiting. I considered ordering the new Alladin lamps thinking they were like the originals (my Dad collected antique lanterns among many other things), but from the reviews I read, they are now made in China and have issues with leaking fuel. If anyone has gotten a new one, can they confirm that this is the case? Or are the reviewers (quite a few) just dumb and overfilling them? I have a few cheap oil lamps from Tractor Supply and the glass ones work great, but the one "hurricane" lantern leaks like crazy even with only a little fuel in the bottom of the reservoir. Thanks!!

 

it's gonna get cold around here in SW Ontario. -23C or -9F without the windchill. Guess i better wear socks as they suggest.

 

Same forecast here. I wore a hoodie under my jacket this morning for the extra insulation, lol.

 

Its 7C here and raining . My daffodils are about to bloom , its extreme weather in the other direction

 

I sure hope CA's winter is not over. Supposed to be in the 90's next week L.A.

 

Me 2. I wanted one Atleast this year. We had one ice storm a d a couple night of a dusting or so. Now it's going to be in the 70s next week

Next is tornado season. Hopefully good old Moore oklahoma gets a pass this year

What a bunch of candy asses!!

 

That's probably because they don't want the dip shits with young kids not thinking and other dip shits who wouldn't dress warm enough to end up freezing to death. Then in the long run costing the city money having to treat these dumbies for medical issues.

The part of that story that made me laugh was talking about the earlier "ultimate snow day" being canceled for a snow storm! That seems pretty ironic.

 

UA 4.0 base layer on today for my 10 hours outside.

 

Single digits here right now. Even though that'd feel warm right now, I wouldn't want to be out in it for 10 hours!

Stay warm!
