RE: cold snap
I love Lutefisk. I have had Lutefisk and Lefse three times this winter. It has gotten really expensive. The first time it was $12.50 a pound. Was a little cheaper later. It was -41 this morning. That is cold even for ND. It is supposed to warm up by the weekend. Take care and stay warm. Bumshot

RE: cold snap
We made -32'C last night (-25F). It has warmed up to -20. I'd sooner have the cold. It don't snow much at these temperatures. When it hits -10 to 0 all it does is snow a lot. Give me the cold any day.

RE: cold snap
I had my truck in for service today.4 hours in the garage and it didn't melt the snow off of the roof. Truck was so cold it didn't warm up enough to get clean.

RE: cold snap
Well compared to yal Northerners we are having a heat wave here. 20's at night and back in the 60's during the day. Its only 40 today, may have to drink some water to keep from dehydrating from all this heat here in Texas. Stay warm boys and keep momma close.

did u catch this line "Today, more lutefisk is consumed in Wisconsin than in Norway" |
RE: cold snap
Ok never heard of that before. You fellers need to start eating catfish, I kinda think they just might taste a bit better.

RE: cold snap
its has to be cabin fever from being stuck in the house all winter long, to consume that stuff..............[:'(]

RE: cold snap
It must be something. Nasty WHEW

RE: cold snap
Lutefish is cod that is left to air dry for a very long time (until it starts to rot IMO) and is heavy salted. Then to remove the salt they soak it is lye. When you purchase this fish it will stink a house up so fast it can make a Viking cry and jump ship. After soaking in water to remove the lye, you then can bake it, or cook the fish a number of ways. Any way you cook it, it is nasty with a snot like texture. Then you cover it in cream sauce or butter.
Many Scandinavian families grew up eating the stuff. It used to be very cheap because no one was crazy enough to eat it but us. So I grew up with that stuff in the house because my father was addicted to the stuff. The rest of us just kind of put up with it. We'd eat the lefsa and boiled potatoes on those nights. Lefse is a flat potato and lardbread and actually it is pretty good stuff. Think of it like a Norwegian taco as we used to joke. We used to steam it, and then put butter and sugar on it then roll it up like a cigar and eat it. That stuff I can handle. The Lutefisk is a no no at my house. Although my father still goes to the local Lutheran church on Lutefisk night for his fix. |

It's cold here tonight in Western New York, 3 below and fallin, tomorrow were suppos-to get 2-3 feet of snow and colder temps with -40 wind chills. We all can take it, I'd rather enjoy the cold on top then on the bottom anyday! My Blacklab just went out to pee and he came back in so fast you'd think he was walkin on hot coals, keep thinkin of them Big Bucks and you'll warm up quick!

RE: cold snap
I just looked and it is already -18 below (9:30 pm). So we are dropping fast tonight temperature wise. They claim we can get down to -31 tonight. I sure hope not. Then tomorrow it is supposed to start warming a little.

RE: cold snap
Well its friday morning at 6:20am stepped out on the carport and its 8 degrees this morning. Thats pretty cold for us here.

RE: cold snap
got up this morning at 6.30 don't know why i get up so early i retired 6 years ago ????? ..oh yes outside it is -33 ....
|
RE: cold snap
7 AM here in Iowa -24 F
|
RE: cold snap
Well I just checked and our night time low (and I am not talking wind chill) was -34.4º F. There seems to be no wind. My computer is telling me we have warmed up a lot though.. all the way to -26ºF so it looks like a good day. Actually the sunny side of the house says -18º F. Amazing what a little sun shine can do.
At least I had water to make coffee. Got to have important things you know. This cold snap will really make ice on Superior, but it also drives frost deep into the ground and there is the danger of water pipes... |
RE: cold snap
It was so cold here last night, someone told me they saw Smokey the Bear running around begging someone to start a forest fire... |
RE: cold snap
I think we set a record here it got down to 13 last night and snowed again to day that's two days in a row and really unusual where most year we don't have any. It is supposed to be up in the 50's tomorrow so things will go back to normal. Lee

Hope it warms up decently next week, I hope to have my new bullets and sabots in to test... |
RE: cold snap

RE: cold snap
The Duluth News Channel in their weather report said the had a town in Minnesotathat reported -47ºF last night. That's just too cold. The neighbor up the road has -38ºF but it finally warmed up. They are talking only -5ºF tonight. That's a piece of cake...

RE: cold snap
I just looked at the historical data for Petawawa for last year. We had 4 months without snow.:D
