Often I read where our southern friends have not seen snow or real chilly weather so I thought I post up some pictures from a quick trip to Minnesota last week.
While I was there temps were between -33c (-27f) below at night and up to -17 (2 above) on the warmest day but most of the time it was well below zero.
I grew up with weather even colder than this but still this was chilly.

Just a bit of wind to send the snow blowing across the road, but a true Green Bay fan would ride in this weather eh Humperdinkel?

When it's real cold with blowing snow and the sun is low you can see Sun Dogs. This is not a reflection in the camera lens but what it really looks like.

Check out the icicles on this house.

Even the rental car exhaust has icicles in this cold weather.

Here's a guy pulling his Ice fishing house down the road most likely headed to a nearby lake to do some fishing. The fish house has holes in the floor and they use a auger to drill a hole in the ice to do some fishing. After all Minnesota is the "Land of a Thousand Lakes"

We drove out onto a frozen lake, you can see the fish houses behind me where people sit in to keep warm and drink lots of beer. I have water skied over this same spot in the summer.

Ok I hope these pictures will help you through your dog days of summer :BLAA:
 
Awesome photo's, great little write up....

I cant even imagine it being that cold!!!

It is about 32c outside today, and not a cloud in the sky...

Cheers for sharing...love the first photo of the snow blowing across the road...

For some reason it reminds me of the movie, Fargo! :eek:

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Fargo, Ha! Yep it all looks like that in the farm land. I did live in Brainerd for 2 years in the 70's and one night it got to -46c (-51f) THAT was bloody cold!

As strange as it may sound, but i would like to experience weather like that....
 
Awesome photo's. I've never heard of "Sun Dogs" before, stunning stuff our wonderful planet gives us.

Hey Jamie, I wonder if we should get some shots of our nice, warm sunny days to help beat the chilly weather our overseas brethren have to endure... Nah, that'd just be nasty, wouldn't it??

:rockon:
 
It still doesnt scare me away , I so want to experience that weather because I love the cold..... Beats the hell outta 40 C+ that we get mixed in with 96% humidity :(

Nice warm fire , hot chocolate , marshmallows & a good comfy recliner would suit me fine :rockon: :rockon:

Well I jumped on my bike to leave work today and the bike told me it was 40c and that was in the shade. It was sitting on 95c on the highway. Bloody hot!!! I don't think I was to experience that kind of cold I froze my butt off in like -5c lol one good thing about the heat is tyres are very sticky :)

You got that right , I love Perth/Adelaide heat compared to our crap stinking hot energy sapping humidity :(

I was at a friends house in Bunbury years ago & it was 38 & bugger all humidity you know probably low 20's at worst , I reckon it was one of the most sensational days EVER :rockon:

But then again , I do love Bunbury/Bussleton :thumbup:
