The Waaah It's Cold Thread

[Believing Is Art]

It's -11 and feels like -31 with wind chill. I'm in south-central Illinois, so I'm sure some people here can beat that. C'mon, make me feel warm by comparison!

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

1. You got me beat

It's a balmy -2 here with a wind chill of -13.

[NutmegYankee]

2. You win. n/t

[mrreowwr_kittty]

3. It was 74 degrees in Phoenix today.

:hide:


Then again, we are blessed with 112 degree temps in July.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

4. Oh, and I just went outside and it's gone down to about 60.

I had to wear a sweatshirt!

:hide:

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. I am going to have to hurt you

:evilgrin:

[MotorCityMan]

55. It's -12 this morning in Detroit, -30 wind chill

I'm surprised I haven't heard from my sister in Gilbert. Last time I talked to her she was cold because it was "only" 60 degrees in AZ at the time.

[Jamastiene]

32. Hey!

We get 110 degree days here in NC in the summer, but it's still only 19 degrees right now and feels like 10 degrees. No fair, you warmth hogger. Share it right now or else we'll embargo the ice cubes. ALL YOUR ICE CUBES ARE BELONG TO US! :P

[mrreowwr_kittty]

60. You can't take them!

I need them to make margaritas so we can cool off on the back porch! ;)

[shraby]

[Believing Is Art]

[Occam Bandage]

6. It's -20 right now in MN.

"Wind chill" is for people who don't wear appropriate clothing.

[Believing Is Art]

7. Yeah, I'm about ready to invest in a ski mask. n/t

[glinda]

19. Yesterday night -40 windchill. Tonight about-30 and furnace quit.

[emilyg]

8. 14 in Ga.

[orleans]

24. GA? isn't that really unusual? n/t

[emilyg]

58. Yes it is. Last January

I was wearing shorts - now if only a little bit of snow would fall.

[Contrary1]

10. Ok...this will warm you up.

The wind chill here in Indy makes it only feel like it's -24.

[Believing Is Art]

11. I feel your pain

I'm 90 minutes from Indy, we usually get the same systems. Did you guys get snow on Wednesday?

[Contrary1]

12. Yep, we got close to 3 inches...

the light, powdery stuff that is easy to shovel if it doesn't get packed down. It hasn't been this cold here since 1992.

First time I have donned a winter coat in three years. Supposed to be around 30 all next week...
maybe I can retire it again.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

13. Not quite so bad.

It's 38 here in Beautiful East Texas.

Clear and Cool.

I watched the International Space Station fly over at 7 pm tonight, instead of watching the Rectum-in-Chief babble.

It was beautiful.

[KewlKat]

14. It's currently -27 in my part of WI

with an expected wind chill of between -35 to -50. I'm seriously considering staying home from work today. My office building was without heat yesterday, until 3pm and I swear I have frostbite. I'm bettin the furnace has stopped again and I am really not looking forward to freezing again today. The heating system can not be repaired, old and no parts available and a complete system has to be installed and who the F knows when that will be.

[Believing Is Art]

29. Don't go to work

I got frostbite just before Christmas. It was pretty mild and didn't get infected, but still no fun. Stay somewhere warm!

[DrZeeLit]

15. Damn... I just had to take the dog out and it's -14.... EEEEK!

I wore:

fleece pants and top
ugg boots
fleece vest
wool coat
gloves
wool scarf
and then....
I draped another fleece hoodie over my head (cuz I couldn't find my hat)

The poor doggie.... thank goodness he hurried!

Wouldn't you know it.... he never asks to go out this late.... but OY YOI YOI... of course, tonight! (or rather this morning)

[Believing Is Art]

31. I swear they know when it's cold, just to piss us off

My bf's dog loves to take his time when it's really cold out. To do so, I put on

flannel pants
fleece pants
wind pants
cotton socks
wool socks
bf's boots
tank top
t-shirt
sweatshirt
fleece hoodie
my down coat
bf's down coat
wool scarf
gloves

I think I need to relocate to Arizona. I'm pretty sure I'm descended from lizards or something . . . totally not meant for this type of weather.

[Liberal_in_LA]

16. Very very warm in LA today

[ConcernedCanuk]

46. "Winter Break II", suburban Chicago school districts call a 5-day weekend!

2 "Cold Days" Thursday and Friday + MLK Monday

[elleng]

47. Smart!

Don't know what's happening here, MD/DC, school-wise,

BUT:

'Just arriving for Inauguration Weekend? Well, welcome to Washington. You made it just in time for the coldest day in about a decade. Fortunately, while traffic will only get worse, the weather will slowly warm starting tomorrow. If you're lucky, you might see some snowflakes during your stay, but no big storm to worry about for Inauguration Day.

Today (Friday): Wind is our enemy. With highs already struggling to reach 20, winds from the northwest around 15 mph will make you forget the sun is shining. Wind chill values will likely be stuck in the single digits all day long. Bundle up with the warmest your wardrobe has to offer. Heck, break out the thermals if you have 'em. Confidence: High

Tonight: Mostly clear with calming winds but lows in the mid-to-upper single digits downtown and low single digits in the suburbs. As we noted before, this is essentially the coldest air we've had in about 10 years. Confidence: High'

I'm freezing. Stay warm everyone up in the subzeroes...and, if you get sick of it, I have guest rooms and it's supposed to be near 70 this weekend.

[libnnc]

53. colder than _____.

[peacefreak]

54. -16 on the midcoast of Maine

[elleng]

56. Washington, DC Inauguration Forecast:

There's little doubt left it's going to be a cold day. Temperatures will probably start the day in the 20s, rising to around freezing (plus or minus a few degrees) for the swearing in, and then maxing out around the mid-30s mid-afternoon (plus or minus a few degrees).

The wild card is the possibility of a fast-moving disturbance rippling through the region and producing considerable cloudiness along with some light snow or flurries. As this disturbance hasn't even formed yet, it's too early to predict its timing and how much snow, if any, it will produce. Stay tuned.
