Guys I really hope our power doesn't go out...Our power went out in 2002 from an ice storm like this, and it took a month for us to get our power back on. Meanwhile, old people in the area died, because they froze to death. Sometimes I hate being in N.C.

Well............. it's January. In New York. Is this really that
unusual of an event? I mean... yeah. Winter. OK.

Nothing real new about any of that. :-)

It is when you have to deal with -38C.

Yeah, we were talking about the "emergency" in the USA, not in
Kazakhstan, which is basically southern Siberia. I suspect that is near normal temperatures there in Kazakhstan this time of year.

Even here in the USA, I have been in lower temperatures than that, and although it can be dangerous, if you have any sense at all, it isn't.

Nothing new about any of that, as I already said.

Those Lat and Lon figures give you Kazakhstan? That's wrong.

Okay, did it again and this time get midway-ish between Toronto and
Ottawa. I grew up not far from there, actually (in the USA).

My same statements that are now snipped out still apply. Cold, but not unheard of. Carry on.

I looked at my car's nav system and realized that it gave me lat/long
coordinates. I can finally update the icbmto: url in my email
signature.
