Nah, I was thinking you were up in my neck of the woods (RI). Right after I posted I remembered that PA has all those odd township names.

Sounds like Dutch, but it doesn't make much sense?
Schuyl > schuil > to hide, seek cover.

Pronunciation: undo-able for you

 

[lunatic59]

Well what do you know ...

The river was later given the Dutch name Schuylkill (pronounced[sxœy̯lkɪl])[lacks stress] by Arendt Corssen of the Dutch West India Company.[citation needed] As kill means "creek" and schuylen (now spelled schuilen) means "to hide, skulk" or "to take refuge, shelter",[6] one explanation given for this name is that it translates to "hidden river", "skulking river" or "shelterd creek"[7] and refers to the river's confluence with the Delaware River at League Island, which was nearly hidden by dense vegetation. Another explanation is that the name properly translates to "hideout creek".

We had some winter storm warnings in Metro Vancouver this past weekend. Fortunately, other than a light dusting on Friday, the temperatures were warm enough that we only got a lot of rain. There were a lot of snow towards Whistler and further inland. Right now, it's 11C and it looks like temperatures well above freezing for the next week at least.

Anthony, come to MN our high on Wednesday will be -4F ! Is that "winter" enough for 'ya?

Hi, I did want winter coldest I've been in I think was 10 then 25 f, so idk how I'd feel. My friend wants me to come to his hometown similar weather to yours in South Dakota. It is currently 75 f outside. Great comment btw.

Bitter cold, it sucks.

[dynomot]

Well this is wrong, it is sunshine and prolonged sleet showers, and if it as warm as 5°C then I have become cold intolerant.

 

[mikedt]

In the bleak midwinter.

No basketball today

 

[mikedt]

High -10c, low -21c, and it's quite possible it will rain. This will be interesting.

 

[CrimsonToker]

It finally started raining, we have been in the worst drought for over a hundred years. So rain, and about 52°f. It's always warmer when it rains
