Wind chill in the 30's tonight. Not much sympathy from those of us a bit farther north.

Thank God for Global Warming, or you Floridians would be like totally berkeleyed.

My bees are still flying on days where it gets up into the 50s. Mebe y'all should move up here to North Cakalaky

I was there for the Taurus launch last summer... beautiful country.

Meh, -30s is nuthin' up here. If the snow squeaks under foot, your boogers freeze, and your car barks when you start it up... that's cold.

supposed to get to 31* up here in pensacola area... fun fun fun... but honestly it won't be that bad me thinks... an extra blanket tonight and we'll be fine...

I guess that means that the Iguanas will start falling out of the trees again.

why do I not have sympathy for you?

OMFG the low will be 23 F at chez Jensen Saturday night!!! Oh how will we survive? I know!!! (runs outside and cranks up every carbon emitting piece of equipment he owns)

I grew up in Columbia where it isn't unusual to hit the low teens or high single digits several times each winter and on more than one occasion 0 or slightly below, -4 is the lowest I can recall. Down here at the coast 23 is considered the Ice Age. I'm about 10 miles inland, the beaches will probably see mid 30's and the residents will whine like crazy.

I ran out to help a customer who is a medical doctor this afternoon. It was ~25* out and was snowing sideways with about [.....] that much visibility. The boy had a conniption when I ran out in my short sleeve shirt for 30 seconds. He swore I was going to die from the cold. I reminded him that I was equipped with a heavy meat parka but I promised him in two years I would be wearing a windbreaker.

The forecast calls for snow in Dallas tomorrow again. If they let me off work early, I'm going to walk my huskies.

low of 46, "feels like" is 38..... I dont care where you are, when the average temp drops 30 degrees in a few hours, your gonna be cold...

i can deal with a cold snap (and ive actually got heat if i need it, many dont), but it better not snow...

I'm one of the ones that don't. The control board went out in my furnace the other day. It's supposed to be 27* here tonight. Dammit.

Uh average temp around here for the last month has been below 20 degrees. The high has been maybe 30 and the low was around -20 (Jan is normally colder here) I walk around most of the time in a T shirt and jeans. If I wear a jacket it is normally a fairly light one. Only time the temp gets to me is when I'm tired, if I'm tired I feel the cold more otherwise I'm just fine. My girlfriend keeps telling me I must have an internal furnace that is cranked up to the max because she is always freezing her butt off in this weather.

Thanks to GRM, I don't even need the weather channel. I just brought the plants inside....

Hmm... currently -26 with windchill.

Wind chill? Only the wind chill??? We had negative wind chill in October.

Bwaahahahah. Wuss.

I live in Wisconsin. Its colder here. (Canadians are exempt from the previous statement)

Not sure about today but yesterday when I left for work the temp was 17 with a wind chill of 0.

Ice and snow everywhere

Awesome. Raining lizards ought to get the doomsday crowds' skivies in a wad.

Last weekend on my way to go surfing at 6a.m. this little snow flake thingy poped up on the dash of my mini to warn me of the possibility of ice. Apparently it happens whenever the air temp gets down to 36 degrees. First time ive ever seen that happen.

That was some cold surfing till the sun broke through the morning clouds. Maybe next weekend ill leave at 7. Or maybe i should just quit being cheap and get a wet suite like everyone else, the spring suite with holes in it just doesnt do much. Hardly even blocks the wind.

" I guess that means that the Iguanas will start falling out of the trees again. " Yup, three footer in my yard. I heard the "thunk" looked out, he shook himself off and wandered slowly away. Islanders say they taste like chicken, maybe I should check that out.

so much for cows being the cause of global warming

Why are cows falling out of trees now, too?

It may be caused by turtles and brussels sprouts:
