I'd put a hold on all, right behind this snow, temps take a dive!

This is the reason I grow under lights, rather than in a greenhouse. Chicago is usualy a few degrees warmer than Minneapolis, but still we have a long heating season. I figure the electricity for lights is cheaper than the heat.
I rationalize and say that the fluorescent lights in my living room help to heat in the winter!

We had -22oC last night!!! -22!!!! :crazy:
We're only in Scotland - not the Arctic (or Canada...!). It hasn't been this cold in about 30 years here. Elec bill is going to be a touch on the high side this year, I fear!

That is 1.4 F; That is pretty cold for Europe! I was up in Duluth, MN for New Years and it was -24 F (-31 C) with a windchill of -40 F which is the same as - 40 C! At that temperature it even hurts when you breathe!
Some important F to C conversion numbers:
100 C = 212 F (boiling point of water)
0 C = 32F (Freezing point of water)
0 F = - 18 C
-40 F = - 40 C

Gosh, it's down right tropical here, compared to where some of you live.
+6 C (43 F). We have a chinook happening, that's why it's so warm. Warm dry air blowing in from the west. Mmmmm. I even cracked a few windows this afternoon to let some air in.

It's been rather cold here, too. Barely made it above 50F today. Let's hope for some sunshine this weekend. I still need to get out there and trim back my roses before my gardener decides to do it himself. He never does it right.
Actually it is warm in my apt so I feel for all the cold people. One problem is opening and closing windows to adjust the temps.

Nice here
It's nice here--72 F @ golf course today in Malibu Hills.
As usual we need much more rain, only about 6 in so far this season.
Feel sorry for the central USA.

Where in Scotland? On the coast, or inland in the highlands? I would suspect it would be warmer on the coast.

That temp was in the highlands - not quite the coldest ever (-27oC). Here it was -17 that night, and -12 last night, but surprisingly in Glasgow it was a few degrees colder.

it's a chilly -3˚F here, lowest it's been so far this winter but that's really fairly normal. I have heard from friends who have family in orlando that it was freezing there last night, and that another had their pipes freeze in georgia yesterday, which is pretty cool for there

The low tonight was supposed to be 3º but it's already down to 2º F, and it's not even 11 pm. Is anyone experiencing global warming???

It's not global warming, it's climate change. A big difference.
