Baby it's COOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDDD outside!!!!

[marmar]

1 degree in Motown with a windchill that I don't even want to contemplate..... :scared:

If I didn't have two stacks of files on my desk at work I would call in sick without thinking about it.

[Sancho]

1. I agree; it's below 50 this morning!

If this keeps up, I'm moving South!

[marmar]

2. 50......Get out the Parka!

:)

[Jeanette in FL]

15. It is 35 up here in North Florida

Supposed to go down in the mid 20's tonight.

My warm thoughts go out to everyone up North. Bundle up and keep warm.

[SteppingRazor]

29. Don't bother. Here in South Florida, it's supposed to get to LOW 40s two nights from now.

:wow:

I'm busting out my scarf and mittens. And my long underwear. It'll be a struggle for survival.

[Canuckistanian]

3. -15 degrees here in Ottawa

Going down to -27 tonight.

[marmar]

4. Centigrade? .....

..... Not that -27 isn't still really cold in Celsius.

[Canuckistanian]

7. My thermometer outside is reading -27 celsius

The coldest it's ever been here is -33. We might break that record tomorrow.

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. Tonight in Chicago: -12, with windchill at -30

Currently: 5, with windchill at -13. Oh, and we'll be getting 3-5 inches of snow this morning on top of the foot we got over threee straight days this past weekend.

Not. Fucking. Happy.

[KharmaTrain]

12. We've Had It Too Good Here...

Seemed like most the bad storms went north or south or the cold never quite got this far south. Not this year. At least I'm getting plenty of "exercize".

Right now it's 1 degree here...my son is readying the sled dogs for a dash to Naperville.

Cheers...

[sufrommich]

14. Just out of curiosity,are the schools closed in Chicago

because of the temperature? I remember in the Detroit area a couple of years ago ,temperatures in that range closed the schools down.They were worried about kids at the bus stops and the reliability of the buses at those temps.

[sufrommich]

6. At least there is no wind this morning.Sounds like we're not

going to be so lucky tomorrow.It's supposed to be worse by Thursday morning.But yeah,it's cold.

[malaise]

8. Damn

It's 81 degrees here in Kingston with a nice gentle breeze blowing through my open windows.


Stay warm! :hi:

[marmar]

9. Thanks a lot malaise......I'd definitely rather be on Negril Beach today.

Have a tropical drink and some jerk chicken for me! :hi:

[malaise]

13. I may do that

A new jerk spot opened up just around the corner. :D

[sarge43]

20. Sun is shining

To the rescue, here I am...
When the morning gathers the rainbow
Want you to know I'm a rainbow too

:D :D :D

[sarge43]

22. Don't tempt me. I love it here, but

as I sit bundled in five pounds of wool and watch a frozen squirrel bounce down the driveway, getting wasted in Margaritaville does have great appeal.

[malaise]

25. Stay warm

My siblings are heading to DC for the inauguration, but I hate cold weather as in really, really hate it :hi:

[sarge43]

28. Well, come hurricane season, you're invited to New England.

We can sit under a willow tree by a pond filled with water lilies, eat clam chowder, Vermont sage cheddar cheese, knock back some micro brew and listen to the hawks call across the White Mountains.

Temps on a lazy July afternoon: 72F.

[malaise]

39. LOL

Sounds good to me. :D

[cali]

10. -12 here in Northern Vermont and the cold still hasn't hit

supposed to come in today.

[recoveringrepublican]

11. As someone who was born in ND and raised in MN, I can't believe I'm saying this but

OMG it is freezing here in Tampa. It's below 50!!!!!!! I remember when I lived in MN and when it would finally rise about 65 we would break out the shorts, now I'm bundling my kids up.

[HereSince1628]

16. May yer battery hold its charge, yer gasline never freeze and may God hold safe

in the palm of his hand yer remote car starter.

[remember2000forever]

17. Palm Beach Checking in @ 65 degrees.

[Sebass1271]

34. I like your name... I wil personally NEVER forget!..

what happened in 2000......

[jdadd]

19. Central Ohio Minus 2....

I'm going back to bed..

[RebelOne]

21. Right now, in the Atlanta area, it's 24.

Tomorrow, though, it is going into the teens, with highs in the 30s. That's really cold weather for a lot of people. Doesn't bother me. I'm a reincarnated polar bear. I love cold weather. At least, the cold weather we get in North Georgia. I couldn't deal with the minus degrees you in the North have.

[Odin2005]

23. Currently -20F in Fargo. -43F wind chill.

Meh, it's FARGO, we're used to it... :D

[ThomWV]

30. one more reason I don't live in Fargo

I was staying in Grand Forks a few years ago and I saw a T-shirt that had a large bull's eye printed on its back and then around the outside edge top it said "I've been to the exact middle of nowhere" and on the bottom it said "Grand Forks, ND".

I thought it was funny as hell, and at the same time I very much liked the town and particularly the people, who were just plain uncommonly friendly and nice. Smart too.

[ejpoeta]

24. well, it is winter. so i guess we should expect some chilly weather.

I am curious to see who wins out tomorrow. since there is THE testing this week. ELA or whatever that they have been practicing for for weeks. so i assume it is the big testing. i know there are a lot of walkers though, so..... they will just wait til 6am tomorrow morning to decide.

[Blue_In_AK]

26. Our two weeks of subzero temps were so wonderful,

we decided to share. :P

[Spazito]

27. LOL and thank you for taking the blame!

Usually the weather forecasters refer to these miserable cold temps as being the result of an "Alberta clipper", not to say it hasn't been ass-freezing cold here too, lol.

[Blue_In_AK]

31. It was pretty clear from the weather maps last night,

that the Alberta Clipper actually blew out of interior Alaska where it's been bone-numbingly cold. It's mid-20s here now, and feels so warm that I stepped out in my bare feet this morning to pick up the newspaper. :)

[Hugabear]

32. Haha, proof that global warming is a hoax!

:sarcasm:

But I have noticed an ever-increasing number of people trying to make this case. Seems like these idiots get bolder in the winter. Funny that, eh?

[Sebass1271]

35. It's Climate Change...

i am sure you know.. ; )

[Kajsa]

38. Send them to SoCal.

We've had a heatwave for last five days,
and there's no end in sight.

Go away, damn High Pressure ridge!!

We need our rain. ( it's our rainy season right now)

:(

[Peacetrain]

33. Will be -40 windchill by the afternoon.. right now a balmy -18

Ahh Iowa, the land of three seasons.. HOT, COLD, and CONSTRUCTION.

[underpants]

36. Cold in Richmond

I have a 6 mile run today and I can't put it off until tomorrow or later (1/2 marathon this weekend) and there was NO WAY I was doing it at 5AM so I am cutting out of here to put it in at the gym.

It will be colder the rest of the week. I am just going to have to tough it out tomorrow morning (3 miles)

[Mari333]

37. heh. my dog broke a record for pooping in the snow

he is pretty low to the ground and once that arctic air/snow hit his little (_*_) he let er rip. he ran inside and begged for treats, being that he had ensuffered such a monumental insult to his usual pooping routine.
its michigan, its 3 degrees.

[tjwash]

40. Send some of that out here...it's gonna be 89 in SOCAL today.

Strange weather this year all around...my poor winter veggies are wilting right now.

[Kajsa]

41. I know!

We really could use some more rain right now.
Our rainy season is so short, it only lasts till March.

The fall started off well with 4 inches of rain, but
now we have that damn High Pressure ridge throwing
the jet stream far to the north.

:(

[Blue_In_AK]

42. Here's what you can look forward to after the icy blast.

As you know, Alaska had two weeks of very, very cold weather. Now that it's warmed up above freezing suddenly, the roads are a mess here. Take care down there.

http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/anchorage/story/653547.html?pageNum=2&mi_pluck_action=page_nav#Comments_Container

Anchorage has suspended public bus service this morning due to icy roads, and a high-wind warning is in effect.

All Anchorage public schools, the University of Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Pacific University are also closed today because of icy roads.

The city said it will monitor road conditions hourly to determine when to restore People Mover bus service, said Jody Karcz, public transportation director.

AnchorRIDES service has been reduced to essential trips only. Essential trips include trips for dialysis, cancer treatment, essential oxygen and medical supplies, Karcz said.

The Anchorage School District announced that all classes are closed. The administrative facilities are open.

The National Weather Service has issued a freezing rain advisory through 11 a.m., and streets are reported to be very icy throughout the city.

The Weather Service also warned of high winds today. Along higher elevations and through Turnagain Arm, southeast winds of 65 to 85 mph, with gusts of 105 mph, are forecast for this afternoon. Glen Alps recorded a wind gust of 75 mph at 8:30 a.m. today.

Winds over the Anchorage Bowl are expected to increase to 20 to 35 mph this afternoon, with gusts to 45, the Weather Service said.

Meanwhile, a wind warning is in effect for Turnagain Arm and the higher elevations through 6 a.m. Thursday. Winds are expected to increase there through the morning, with gusts up to 86 mph over East Anchorage, including the Hillside. Even stronger winds are expected tonight, with the highest gusts reaching 105 mph, the Weather Service said.
