OK - a little competition - who can post the coldest temperature this season from an airport in your RadarBox range.

Must be evidenced by a Decoded Metar screenhot so that I can understand it.

I'll start the ball rolling with this from Manchester tonight.

Well here's a close second...but just wait until winter really sets in! Isn't it past your bedtime Rod?

Want to see what cold weather flying is all about? Check out this link to a great show I watch every week. Hopefully you will get it on your side of the pond soon.

Thanks Rod ...I can't compete ...this is amazing weather..and I'd love to hear all the stories from all users who suffer these extremes...and my coax just failed 20 minutes ago...hard to build for extremes...by the way ..I am still snowed in..and Sunday is looking terrible...I am at this point using a hair dryer to provide extra heat to the workshop ....

Hey Paul

Quite balmy here now, still -15C (-23 wind chill) with clear skies and brilliant sunshine ;-) "Ice Pilots" is super, I really hope they can syndicate it for all to enjoy. I'm not into "Reality" shows...but this is very real. Met Buffalo Joe on the ramp at Red Lake many moons ago. Not sure what the general public think of the antics of the Buffalo Family though ?

best to all.

Hi Neil

Great to hear from you. I'm not really into reality show's either but there's something about Ice Pilots that grabs you. I was on your site again tonight and your contibution to the history of the Beaver has to be commended. Glad you are feeling better. The weather at CYYB tonight is very mild only -6C (-12C with wind chill). Looking forward to seeing "The Immortal Beaver" again. Take care.

Sorry, can't help you there, this is all I've got :)

Do people get thrown out of the forum for showing off? ;-)

Rod

PS Can anybody beat that?

shouriken · January 25, 2010, 05:45:30 AM

This morning in Bucharest, Romania

RodBearden · January 25, 2010, 09:20:33 PM

Bucharest is winning so far! Bad luck, shouriken ;-)

Ok here we go...beat this!

Hey pjm how's this? Only a 68 degree celcius swing not including wind chill.

At least the bug's aren't bad!

RodBearden · January 30, 2010, 02:04:59 AM

OK Paul, you win - so far!

And you're welcome to it!
