15 below zero outside....there is frost inside my house!

[malta blue]

My sunroom has frost inside all the windows! :scared:

They have honeycomb cell shades on them, and I keep them down, but *dayum* - FROST inside the house :banghead:

[ThomCat]

1. I had ice like that inside the windows in my room

growing up every winter. It was normal in every old house. :(

I don't miss it. Not at all. I like my nice, well heated apartment.

Please stay warm. :hug:

2. I am staying home from work today Thom -

I just could not even bring myself to DEAL this morning...

I am going to take a nice HOT soak in the tub and crawl back in bed with the dog quilt ;)

:hug:

[tigereye]

3. some of my outer old style windows have a bit of frost on em..

I baked in our kitchen last night, since the outer part of it is poorly insulated. Well, stay as warm as you can!


It's -6 here.

[malta blue]

5. You stay warm too!

:hug:

4. 17 below here

There was frost in my sunroom a couple years ago... all my orchids died and I gave up growing orchids in Wisconsin. Too cold and dry to get them through the winter.

7. It is about 50 in that room right now.

I have closed it off for the first time ever. I usually leave it open since it has been appropriated by Little MB, but since she is not home I figured let it just keep the cold...

Yeah, growing orchids in WI in winter could be tough ;)

:hug:

18. Its my dogs favorite room though.

And he just had a half hour run at the dog park. Its up to Zero now.

6. It will only be a few minutes until some simpleton fuck from Cali

posts how warm it is there. And 6 months from now they'll post "OMG OMG OMG THE FIRES ARE NEXT TO MY HOUSE!""

and I'll point at the screen and laugh at them

[malta blue]

8. ...

:spray::spray:

I am getting ready to grab my Northern Exposure DVDs and head back up to my bed. Watching poor Joel complain about Alaska cold should make me feel better, although you know Caribou Barbie would say I am a wuss.

9. California simpleton ringing in.......

Ha, ha...it was cold here this morning...like 32 degrees but we expect to get in the high 60s.

Send us your rain!!!

[malta blue]

10. That sounds like a dream

:hi:

It is insanely cold! I can't remember feeling it this badly, although I am sure I have lived through this before

[Sequoia]

11. I lived in Spokane, WA before

so I know what cold can be. That's why I moved to Southern Cal but now I'm in Nor Cal which has it's share of the 4 seasons since we get fall leaves and blossoms. When those plum and apple trees blossom it's quite a grand sight to behold.

By the way, did you find out who robbed your house?

[malta blue]

12. Yes, they caught my burglars!

But I only managed to recover one necklace - all of my rings are gone :(

But they are going to jail for A LONG time - they are being charged with 21 burglaries!

[Sequoia]

17. Good. That'll teach them.

Sorry you lost your rings. Stay warm.

[Shakespeare]

20. Stay warm, douchebag.

75 and sunny here. :hi:

[geardaddy]

13. Meh.

Yesterday the high was -6. The HIGH...

[Critters2]

14. Another double entendre! "Hoar frost". That's the official name for frost

inside a house. Hoar frost.


Enjoy.

[geardaddy]

15. I thought that was just a type of frost.

But check out these other hoars:

air hoar is a deposit of hoar frost on objects above the surface, such as tree branches, plant stems, wires;
surface hoar is formed by fernlike ice crystals directly deposited on snow, ice or already frozen surfaces;

but my favorite two are...









wait for it....













crevasse hoar consists in crystals that form in glacial crevasses where water vapour can accumulate under calm weather conditions;

and
depth hoar refers to cup shaped, faceted crystals formed within dry snow, beneath the surface.

[Critters2]

16. Depth hoar!!!

That's likely to be the next thing I chuckle quietly about during a Church Council meeting :)

19. Hoar Frost

Gotta love it :thumbsup:

I think I will use that next time!
