What's the weather like where you are?

[farouk]

Dull, overcast, and looks like it cold snow tonight. But it's only zero..yet feels colder.
Maybe out nice 3 1/2 months of spring-like weather is now over...oh well, it's been a good run.

Maybe a lot of windchill make it feel colder...

Depends what their cardiac situation is...

I have a 'cardiac situation'...if I lose the power in my legs I will be in trouble. I don't 'run up and down stairs', but I do make sure I go up and down stairs to keep my legs strong. They say weak, unsteady legs are the grantee that we will end up in a wheelchair in a nursing home when we are older.

Sorry about this....I hope you can keep active and mobile.

Re. cardiac situation: Me, too; I have nitro spray to help chest pain and although occasionally I can't make it up the stairs and have to sleep on the sofa, usually I can manage the stairs, by God's grace. (Bypass surgery been on my resume...)

 

[Soverign Grace]

Haha! Well done Dave.
I too get up and do a lap around the living room and kitchen open-plan, every now and again...to keep the blood moving.

I wear a FitBit ...so I track my steps every day..and have lots of competitions with friends on the FitBit to inspire us to keep moving.

One of my kids uses a FitBit. It tracks your steps doesn't it - to see how many miles you walk?

I read that complete Vitamin E with alpha, beta, delta complex with tocotrionols are good for the heart so I have my husband and I on it. Does everybody here take low-dose aspirin?

The "baby aspirin" daily is really good for the hear, yes...

A snowfall overnight; it's stopped snowing now.

From weathe rbeureau

So far regional areas have copped the worst of the temperatures, with the heat so intense that the Oxley Highway near Tom's Creek started melting, until a water tanker came in to cool down the road.

Noona, near Wilcannia, broke the record for Australia's highest overnight temperature last night, reaching a "minimum" of 35.9C.

Tibooburra Airport, in the far north west of NSW, hit 46.9C at 2:40pm.

its 8pm and still 30C outside 33c inside no aircon

 

[farouk]

Big dumping of snow; and a lot of windchill.

 

[Helen]

It’s been cooler...about ten dregs below ...but that is still great for January.
We’ve had a snow dump...but that’s it for us here.

Well, well: Alberta warmer than Ontario...

 

[Willie T]

53 degrees F here, and clear. The "Blood Moon" is a joke so far. Just a smudgy eclipse.

 

[farouk]

Very cold and snowy still, although it's actually stopped snowing for the moment.

So how are others in parts of North America coping with this somewhat severe winter?

Still working out with weights every other day. And walking about 1.5 hrs a day (treadmill). Keeps the endorphins flowing and makes time fly. Watching comedy helps too.

I guess indoor exercises are inevitable at some times of the year in some climates...
