Pics of the region in the winter, snowy, foggy etc....

Early last year with time to kill on a Sunday afternoon, me and an exploring buddy went out to take some pictures of Liverpool in the snow. Needless to say, it ended up somewhere high, but I've never in all my life known icey winds like it! The floors were sheets of ice, and the wind absolutely howled through, and so we were only there for about 15mins or so...

Great photies kidda :D

Left Tampa at 1320 hrs and a temperture of +20c and arrived in Toronto at 1610 hrs with a temperture of -15c with the wind chill factored in it feels like -25c. Hoe-lee sheet, what am I doing up here in February?

Maybe you're an idjeet? I thought my face was going to freeze off this morning approaching my workplace in Washington DC. Get thee back to Florida, son!

Chris

Frosty In Liverpool too.

At first when I went out on my bike, fingertips were In pain from the cold and my asthma was going off because I couldn't breath through my nose which happens sometimes.

Eventually the longer I'm out the more immune to the cold I am.

its about -6 here ...Brrrrrr!!! .... *gets his thermals on*

And maybe loadsa snow this evening :celb (23): :unibrow:

I sat in my car like a lazy arse and while the heated seats warmed my arse, I waited for the windows to defrost enough to drive. :Colorz_Grey_PDT_24: :)

I hope it snows.:D

I hope it snows.:D

Supposed to be a major snowfall on Thursday, but across the south and south wales, unlikely to make it north.

Maybe you're an idjeet?Have you been talking with my wife?:)

Ya aint had cold til you've experienced T.O cold eh sloyne

Oh I don't know about T.O. cold, head a little north to Wawa or Kenora, it's colder. lol.

Why ?. beeping horrible, messy stuff, not the quality snow we got

I remember in the 60s we had snow a couple of feet deep and was on the
ground for weeks, no buses, trains very few cars on the road, struggling
to get home, AH, they were the good old days....

I am jealous, I want snow!You can have my share. I don't even like snow on Christmas cards.

Apparently, a lot of the country is going to get 7 inches tonight.

Of snow, I hasten to add.

Bugger. I ran over a screw on Sunday and now I've got a slow puncture. Was going to change the wheel tomorrow morning as well. :(

Ta Phil..I wasnt sure where to stick em yer know Lad !!..lol..

I'm staying inside in the warm, looks to be turning to sleet now so people better hurry, but more is forecast for Saturday.

Winnipeg, Manitoba is experiencing wind chill factors of -44 this morning. Now that's cold.

I have a mate who lives in Baker Lake in the far north of Canada. He tells me snow is on the ground from August to May, it never goes above 12 celsius in summer, and this week he has been digging his way out of the front door.

Baker Lake, Nunavut, present temperture is -30 with a wind chill of -46. That is a two degree difference, in both tempeture and windchill, between Baker Lake and Winnipeg. Wonder if you can actually tell the difference?:)

Bah. I drove around Wirral after 11ish and most of the snow had gone so I skipped nipping to Liverpool. I'd love to get blizzard shots but the snow was too light really. Its funny just how different everything looks in snow. I didn't recognise some of the streets at first :)

You should be ok coming to London most of the snow has turned to slush but we did have loads all the kids made up as all schools where closed snowball fights all day. Suprisingly the kids where up by 7 oclock not like this when going to school :shock: Tomorrow we are getting ice in the morning but they think it will be clear soon after. All the pictures are great.
Have a good trip to London :celb (23):

Nice cruiser Tricky, you'll have to put some skis on it.:celb (6):

A few I took yesterday.Thought they would look a bit more "arty" if they were in b/w.
Taken on a phone by the way.

Nice pictures Stan. What part of Liverpool were they taken in?

From Walton park along the Loop line finishing behind Aintree racecourse.That's where the burnt out cars were.

Great Piccies Stan.:handclap:

I love it, Tony! And believe it or not, I think the purple wheelie bin provides a nice dramatic center to the composition, so I don't think it detracts at all! Bravo.

There's a place in northern Ont called white river, big sign as you drive in states that it holds the Canadian record for cold, -72 wthout the chill factor, not only will ya nostrils freeze, but steel breaks at these temps. lol.

White River claims to be the coldest spot in Ontario according to Wikpedia..

The Canadian record holder is Snag, Yukon at -81F.

I have been out at -50C (or -58F) in Whitehorse and that was cold enough. I didn't try the peeing test.http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif
