so how cold is it where you are? Had to ask.

[tigereye]

Poll question: so how cold is it where you are? Had to ask.

it's -7 here, and it hasn't been that cold here for about 12 years, I think

[supernova]

1. 17 this morning

brrrr. :scared: :scared: :scared:

Probably going down to single digits tonight.

[AwakeAtLast]

2. It's -7 now, but our low was -12

Central IN. :scared:

[ogneopasno]

3. There are only three "cold" options in that poll, and each one has a minus sign in it. I voted -30

to -20. And the kids had school today.

[tigereye]

12. yes, I suppose it's all relative to what folks are used to

we are at -7 with a high of 7 forecast for today, and all the schools are closed so the kiddies won't turn into blocks of ice at the bus-stop, sidewalk, etc.

Where are you?

[ogneopasno]

17. Minnesota Arrowhead.

[DS1]

4. So cold it hurt to touch the steering wheel on the way in

[SteppingRazor]

5. It's about 70 here. High 60s, maybe. n/t

[tigereye]

14. he he he

:spank: spoiler! :hi:

[Crazy Dave]

6. It will be in the high 20's here in Florida tonight

I think it's shitty that we can't get any snow when it gets that cold. Once we had several inches fall and stay on the ground, Christmas '89 and it shut the whole town down for two days.

[malta blue]

7. 15 below....

At first I thought it was only 8 below, but that is because the interwebs must have taken their reading in a warm spot. The thermometer on the barn clearly reads 15 below zero. :scared:

[rurallib]

8. internets say we hit -30.

Eastern Iowa BTW.
Just think. If we get up to 30 tomorrow (as predicted) it will have warmed up 60 degrees.

[Beausoleil]

9. Sorry folks, south Texas is missing out on all the fun

42 degrees right now, but it feels like 35!

Probably won't crack 50 today.

Well, not really sorry. I've lived in a place that had -35 or below wind chill continuously for three weeks, sometimes as low as -75 wind chill, real temp never got above 5 for that period. I do know what it's like.

[FloridaJudy]

10. High twenties last night, low fifties today.

I love gloating in January. It almost, but doesn't quite, make up for August.

Gainesville, FL


Rest of Today:

Mostly sunny. Cooler. Highs in the lower 50s. North winds 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight:

Mostly clear. Very cold. Lows in the mid 20s. North winds around 5 mph. Wind chills 18 to 23.

Only here could the mid 20s be considered "very cold". :rofl:

[MorningGlow]

11. 7; windchill -12

Yay. x(

15. It's been freakishly warm in our part of California.

I think we got your usual winter delivery of heat.

[tigereye]

16. ooh, it's now -2!

:rofl: a heat wave!

[soleiri]

18. 59

It should warm up, it's early.

[bikebloke]

19. 11 this morning.

I wore layers and layers for my ride into work this morning. But the wind was behind me. Pedalling home, plowing headwinds, will be painful I suspect.

Last night I passed the stage for Sunday's show in front of the Lincoln Memorial. They were testing one of the jumbo telly screens. Some nice heat coming off it.

[applegrove]

20. -25 Celcius.

[uallupinmykoolaid]

21. -3! One good thing is that the temps are rising and in the next couple of days it'll get back into

the 20s/30s...I remember back in the day that we would have -25 and be in a deep freeze for days on end.

[DemBones DemBones]

22. 7º here this morning -- in the South!

Brrrr.

[CatholicEdHead]

23. Above zero now! Above +5 degrees

[flvegan]

24. Around 66 degrees.

Nice and sunny, slight breeze.

[RetroLounge]

25. -10 here in Milwaukee

I'll be in your town tonight. Glad it's warmer...

:9

[tigereye]

30. I dunno, some folks are saying 10 below here tonight...

somehow it doesn't feel quite that bad, though. It was about 5 when I was out today, but the sun made it feel much better.



on edit, it's -2 now at about 10 pm EST.



Seriously it would be nice to meet you one of these times you are in our fair city! :hi:

[Forkboy]

26. Cold enough that you could spin a record on my nipple.

Of course, I encourage that year round.....

:yoiks:

[soleiri]

27. it's now a pleasant 77

:)

[Coyote_Bandit]

28. 30 degrees warmer

than it has been for the past couple of days.

[XemaSab]

29. 72

:)

[tigereye]

33. noooooooo!

these are days when I wish I lived in California...

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. It was - 17 in Chicago this morning.

Made it up to zero today. Tomorrow will be warmer.

[Lethe]

32. 50, at the moment

[krispos42]

34. +5F... it's a damn heat wave!

it was -29 this morning.

[TreasonousBastard]

35. It's so friggin' cold...

the heat went out and when I peed into the frozen toilet bowl it froze before it hit the ice in the bowl and the little balls of frozen pee bounced around like a roulette balls. The cats were amused.

Then I took a dump in the outhouse and froze to the seat-- thank God I had my cellphone so I could call 9-11 and their wiseass comments didn't bother me a bit.

Tried to start a fire in the fireplace, but already used up all my wood, so I'm hitting construction sites for their supplies and am reduced to burning all my National Geographics and Playboys from the 60s and 70s.

Supposed to warm up tomorrow so the gas in my car won't be jello and I can start it and live in it to get some heat.
