You guys down south even know what wind chill is? haha

[hotreds]

Global warming is bad news, eh?

[schnell987]

Wow. We'll be at -1 tomorrow. I can't even imagine what -40 would be like. Time to store a yard gar in the car w/ a lighter & a sleeping bag in case the car gets stranded. :ss

[Sailchaser]

Global warming is bad news, eh?

The heck with the world, I would just like to have my hands warm after doing the snow again

Lil dog is normally a pain. Gotta walk her 20-30 houses before she will.... well you know.

We go out a while ago... maybe 10 feet. She stops, goes, sprints for the door.

Its really cold in OH.

[krash]

-20 right now here in southern MN. Will be a challenge to start the car in the morning as it's always colder at 5am. Tomorrow's forecast calling for a high of -5. Supposed to start warming up by Friday evening. Coldest I've seen here in many years. Glad I smoke inside this year.:)

[Jbailey]

I'm sitting in the mini-mancave, huddled around my heater and finishing up my Joya de Nicaragua. It's 8F outside (windchill -2F) and about 45F here in the cave. :ss

As soon as I finish, I'm heading in for the night!!!

Yep, it's starting to get a little frosty out here as well. I guess it's time to break out the fur-lined nookie warmer :r

[replicant_argent]

A current Balmy -22F (-30 C) in the beautiful Twin Cities, kids!!!!! Bundle up and go out to the bus stop, because the superintendents of the 2 major school districts wouldn't call school off on the coldest day in 5 years.


If my kid got frostbite today, and had to have something amputated, I would be sure to call the stump "Insert Superintendants name here."
The one in St. Paul that my wife works for is from Alabama... I am pretty sure she doesn't "get" it.

This chick is going to be busy today answering a ton of angry phone calls.

Drove into work with a temp of -27F, radio said the wind chill was somewhere in the -45F to -50F range. Remote start = life saver!

Why would you want school canceled because of cold? As long as the furnace isn't total crap, I don't see the need.

[darb85]

someone call al gore....its global warming!:r

3 degrees this morning actual, blowing about 20 apperently windchill is close to -20 freaking brr. and its supposed to get colder!:lv

[Genetic Defect]

[Seanohue]

Still -5 here. Just the 7 minute walk to the academic buildings had me shivering.

[replicant_argent]

[rizzle]

Is there really any difference in 0 and -15 or 20? Once you get down that low does it really matter?

[Genetic Defect]

:rolleyes: only someone from a warm weather state would ask. Is there really any difference in 0 and -15 or 20? Once you get down that low does it really matter?

Sorry guys, really, I live in AZ so I will write this chit when we are 115 degrees

you wouldn't think it makes a big difference and maybe being in it for a minute or two you wouldn't notice it but once it goes from -15 to 5 it will feel warmer :) (I hope this muddies things up) :r

I think if I lived in a climate like that I would be a raving alcoholic. I've got to be able to get outside and I just can't see wanting to be outside in that. I guess it's like anything else--you deal with it.

Hell, everybody wants to be here in the winter but when they're here in August-September they're crying about how hot and humid it is and saying no way I could live in this.

Madison schools are still open today.

[Beer Doctor]

Madison schools are still open today.

They canceled school in Madison today. My wife's a 5th grade teacher and she's home with the kid.

[backwoods]

i think the uw and matc are the only schools open today in madison

[Beer Doctor]

Is there really any difference in 0 and -15 or 20? Once you get down that low does it really matter?

IMO there isn't much difference when you first walk outside. I walked outside to start my car this morning and was like, "this isn't that bad." Then in about 3 minutes I started shivering and two minutes later my face was hurting. The difference is at 0 degrees it takes about 30 minutes for the aforementioned symptoms to sink in but at -15 it takes about 5 minutes. At 0 I'd consider playing pond hockey:ih Well maybe not:D

[Beer Doctor]

i think the uw and matc are the only schools open today in madison

UW is still on break but my advisor is here so the faculty came to work.

[IBQTEE1]

Drove into work this morning with it reading -7. Gotta love it. It's to cold to even cry about it. My eyes would freeze shut.

[hotreds]

When I lived in Moscow in the 1960s as a kid we were not allowed to go on our terrace in the winter because it was so cold the poorly constructed thing might actually break off. We also stayed inside on some days because it was so cold that your tears would, in fact, freeze. My father says it was about 40 below straight up at the worst.

[Asher]

They canceled school in Madison today. My wife's a 5th grade teacher and she's home with the kid.

Ah, you're right. I couldn't find MMSD in the school cancellation list earlier.

[hotreds]

Whoa- down to 8.6 now! Single digits at 17:30- it WILL be below zero tonight! Boy, my electric bill is gonna be 6 large this month!

[King James]
