Okay guys...How cold IS it?

[dixiegrrrrl]

Yesterday am, the incompetent weather people said it would be 59 today.

It is 42.
and the supposed ...revised...high of 48 is not going to be reached, esp. since we are now getting wind gusts up to 29mph from the north.

Just a reminder..I live in a SUBTROPICAL zone.

[PasadenaTrudy]

37. Cold Notables So Far

Cold Notables So Far

- Burlington, Colorado, on the eastern Plains near the Kansas border, dipped to -10 Thursday, setting a new record low for the month of November.

- Casper, Wyoming, dipped to -27 at 11:59 p.m. Wednesday night, shattering their all-time November record low of -21 on Nov. 23, 1985 (records date to 1939). The temperature stayed at -27 at midnight Thursday, making it the new record low for Nov. 13 as well. Previously, the soonest Casper plunged to -27 was on Dec. 5, 1972. Casper's high of 6 on Nov. 11 was the record earliest single-digit or colder high temperature there. (On Nov. 15, 1955, the high was only -3 degrees). Wednesday, Casper only managed a high of 3 degrees!

- Denver's high of 6 on Nov. 12 was the coldest daily high so early in the season. Only three other November days had daily high temperatures colder in Denver, dating to 1872. Early Thursday morning, Denver chalked up a bone-chilling -14 degrees, easily the coldest temperature so early in the season. (Nov. 17, 1880 was the previous earliest such cold reading in Denver.)

- Livingston, Montana, dipped to minus 21 Wednesday, their coldest so early in the season. That said, they once dipped to minus 31 degrees just one day later in the calendar, on November 13, 1959.


- In the Southern Plains, Amarillo (21), Lubbock (27), Childress (29) and Goodland (14) all set their coldest daily high temperatures on record for so early in the season on Wednesday.

- Riverton, Wyoming had a daytime high of 0 degrees Thursday.

- Redmond, Oregon, dropped to 19 degrees below zero Sunday morning, crushing its all-time record low for the month of November, previously 14 below zero on Nov. 15, 1955. Sunday's low was an astonishing 23 degrees colder than the previous daily record for Nov. 16 in Redmond.

42. Holy frozen shit....

all sorts of records being broken.

Of course, in this cold, they ARE more brittle....

[femmocrat]

3. Thirties with sleet in western PA.

It was 70 here on Tuesday!

[orleans]

4. outside of chicago it's 28 with a feels like temp of 17

burr. just a bit chilly

i have my heat cranked DOWN
i was wearing one of those winter headband/ear covers in the house last night!

[dixiegrrrrl]

43. Head band....hmmmmmmmmmm

Might come to that....
I am concerned about loss of power, it is supposed to be 18 tonight and our Southrn sensibilities are not up for this.
All it takes is some drunk asshole to slide into a power pole, and we go dark...and cold.
We have more than our share of drunk assholes down here, too.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. Not cold at all.

Mid 80s. I went swimming on my lunch break.

And that's why I live in Florida.

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Lucky for you.

Just think, when the oceans rises and swamps you , it will be WARM water.
You lucky duck.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. Sadly, yes.

But until then.....

[RebelOne]

9. I lived in South Florida most of my life until I moved here to North Georgia.

I prefer it here. After a while, I hated the heat, humidity and big bugs and decided to make a change. I am happier in Georgia.

[RebelOne]

8. Right now by my outdoor thermometer, it is 44.

I am in Woodstock just northwest of Atlanta. Temps tonight are supposed to be in the middle 20s. I am hoping I do not have any broken water pipes. Last winter was brutal and I had 4 broken pipes which caused my water bill to skyrocket. I have lived in a mobile home since 1997 and had no problems with the water pipes.

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. Perhaps there is some way you get those pipes wrapped?

Agile male relative?
Agile friend?

Been there a few times myself, don't want to have to be there agan.

Last couple winters have been cooler and I am afraid it is a trend.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

11. Weather where I am.

77°
HIGH AT 3:25 PM


76°F
FEELS LIKE 76° AT TIME OF POST


54°
LOW FOR TONIGHT

Mind you it is ...

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. You are gonna miss that Polar swerp, then?

Was NOT supposed to come this far south.
I was walking around smug as hell yesterday, taunting my friends and family on the West Coast.

forecast for today was 48. It never broke 42.
I would weep, but frozen tears dilute the booze too much.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

18. Kinds.

It looks like we are expecting lows in the lower 40's.

Which means he moment the sun goes down, we get cold in a hurry.

[Liberal Veteran]

12. Today's high = 32F Low 16F

We were having such a warm fall in the NW that the sudden drop from the mid-50s feels awful. It hasn't been above freezing in three days.

[love_katz]

14. Same here.

The invasion of winter has been a shock. Sleet mixed with snow or freezing rain has been coming down all day. We are not at all ready for this...it's not even Thanksgiving, yet.

Temps have been in the 30's all day.

Go away winter, we aren't ready for you yet.

[LWolf]

30. It happened in a blink, didn't it?

One day I was in short sleeves and hadn't even been running any heat, and the next we had single digit temps.

[Odin2005]

15. Fargo, ND: 14F

That is just 3 degrees more than the average high in JANUARY.

[fizzgig]

26. that's twice as warm as we got yesterday

and a few degrees warmer than what we got today in northern colorado. we should still be in the 50s, dammit.

[sakabatou]

19. Right now, 63

[rurallib]

[bigwillq]

Supposed to get some snow.

[cloudbase]

23. It's so cold,

I saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets.

[dixiegrrrrl]

24. It's colder than Dick Cheney's heart down here!

[Art_from_Ark]

25. Brrrr-- that's approaching

Absolute Zero

[fizzgig]

27. five degrees

high of seven yesterday, 11 today and the storm dropped four inches of snow for good measure. we'll break freezing tomorrow but back to the 20s with another couple inches coming over the weekend.

this is bogus.

[hobbit709]

28. It was 27° when I got up this morning at 4:30.

[LWolf]

29. Right now...it's 18 and snowing.

I had about 6 inches of snow when I went to bed last night, and it's just getting light enough to see out there again...we're forecast for another 3-5 inches today.

Our high today is forecast to be 23; our low, 8.

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. Ok, THAT is cold.

I have a friend in Iowa who says how happy she is when the cold temps come because she can open her bedroom window and get some
"fresh air". Meaning without humidity and heat of summer.
But she does this in winter!!!!!
I am sure the window is open just a crack when it is so cold.
She blithely talks about wearing layers of clothes to go out and about this week....long johns ( they make very warm lightweight silk ones now), pants, double socks, 3 layers of shirts and sweaters and then coat, hat and scarf and gloves, and then somehow fits all that into her car seat and manages to buckle the seat belt.

I am so damn spoiled down here that I feel overdressed if I have to put on a bra and lipstick.

Yet, winter seems to have gone south for the season......sigh.

[LWolf]

33. I was 1,000 miles south a week ago today and it was in the 80s.

I was grumbling the whole time because it was too hot, lol.

We aren't likely to see a high above freezing for a couple of weeks, at least. That can be hard on the pipes, so I'm, as usual, keeping my fingers crossed. I'm going out in a bit to clear a path on the deck so I can get out, and the dog can, too. I'll work on the rest of the deck a bit at a time until I get it done.

[Pacifist Patriot]

32. My weathercritter said it would be a high of 73. Hasn't broken 65 yet.

My son's been complaining about the frigid air on our patio. LOL!

[trof]

34. Colder in coastal Alabama than it was in Boston this a.m.

[UglyGreed]

[Rhiannon12866]

38. 36 degrees now, here in New York.

And it snowed last night, and it's still here. My dog and I hate it.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

39. 22F northern suburb of ATL...

[UglyGreed]
