I know this may sound weak as far as cold goes...but for us here on the west coast...this is COLD...and wind chilly.

Snowing here right now on Vancouver Island, and unusually for the likes of us it's powder not our usual soft slush. The kid will love it in the am.

You guys ain't seen nothing yet. Punch zip code 96766 into your weather radar and see what the coconut express is fixing to sending your way.

Re: PNW Cold Spell


I'm looking at -14C to -19C(6F to-2F) for highs down to -20C to-27C(-4F to -16F) for lows the entire week coming up (insert Mr. Freeze smiley here). This soffit job I took on this week is gonna be an a$$ freezing off experience.
