here in Wisconsin along Lake Michigan. That's dammmm cold. Not fit for man nor beast. Whoops my bad..I misunderstood my husband when he gave the temp. It's only -35 windchill. Now that's downright tolerable.

I'm just leading this thread to its inevitable conclusion.

Here's your generic DU weather thread:

OP: ZOMG! We had some crazy/atypical/extreme/weird/rapturous/nice/pleasant weather here in this geographical region today!

W/in 10 responses: Yeah...global warming doesn't exist. (sarcasm)

13. -2 with wc -27 south of you in the Chiburbs
I had no idea it was that could out there. I was in the nursery a bit ago, it's a bump out dormer off of our bedroom, and could hear the wind whistling around. But that's not odd here, since our neighborhood butts up against wide open farm land.

25. Expected high here today will be 75º.



I have worn a jacket (light windbreaker) maybe four days this winter season.

But please don't tell anyone. It's getting more crowded here with every passing day.
