Scared to death if the water freezes or the fire goes out at night when we can't get help ...
It'll be daylight in a few hours and I'll try to get some real sleep.
Not that big a deal. Growing up in the 70’s in Chicago it was routine. And they NEVER cancelled school or shut down the government. We are now a nation of wussies.
MInus Seven here, Central Ky, Just back from the Barn. Got a Cria, Baby Alpaca that is not doing well in the low temperatures, so I have set up a special heated place in the barn. Temps in there are 38 degree Fahrenheit. She’s eating and pooping so I think she’ll make it once the temps rise tomorrow.
Doesn’t it warm the cockles of your heart to know that the First Lady is cavorting in the sun with Oprah on her tax-payer funded extended vacay in HI, while people are barely surviving in America’s worst cold since the 1970s?
And our pathetic president lectures us about income inequality, proving again his tin ear for how Americans think and live.
It’s fun to blow soap bubbles in those temperatures. The bubbles freeze and (sort of) shatter when they hit the ground. Sometimes they will air-burst in a puff of steam. Less damaged ones might roll across the ground a bit.
Where are you? Grew up in Buffalo, Cleveland and later in Syracuse, NY. We saw sub sub zero temps ALL THE TIME.
I now live in Florida !
I must be older than you but I do remember it hitting this cold and below here in Columbia county P a that was before glow bull warming
You simply haven’t lived long enough, Lil’ Buckaroo.
(Or perhaps in the wrong place.)
You know it’s really cold outside when you go outside and it’s really cold.
>> I Have Never Seen Minus 11 In My Life !
Climate Denier!!!
We seem to be using a combination of Celsius (0 degrees freezing) and Fahrenheit (32 degrees freezing) and coming up with stats that are neither one or the other . Very confusing.
-9 here in Pittsburgh.
We've had to get the kids in out of the snow riding their bicycles at -30.
Eleven below isn't so bad in these parts, but we're geared up for it, too.
Stay warm everyone. Watch those space heaters and fireplaces ... !
When my youngest grandson was born in Ft. Riley Kansas in early February, the thermometer registered -10. My rental car had heated seats and Mrs. Cobol2Java & I were glad for them! :-)
The current temp here in north central WI is -23 ° F with a projected high for the day of -6 ° F. Yesterday our high for the day was -17 ° F. Wind chill currently -51 ° F. We’ll finally start to warm up tomorrow (Wed) when temp goes above 0 ° for the first time since Sat.
Thank God the Obama family is safe in Hawaii.
Meanwhile, -13 here in Indianapolis.
Been without power since 1 pm Sunday, running generator (gas furnace).
Fine and dandy!
Its 2 am here in Wasilla Alaska, got up, was hungry, went outside to car in t shirt and just long thermal bottoms, with boots to get tablet out of car, temp was about 30f and never felt it.
Its all about acclimation to your climate, now if ypu put me in Orlando the next week or so when its over 75f I will get heat stroke, go figure.
Yes its unusually warm right now in Alaska, it was 41f above yesterday, snow is melting.
I wish my digital thermometer had a Kelvin scale mode, just for the illusion.
So its 3 degrees outside but will be 56 degrees in 4 days- an increase of 53 degrees over just 4 days!
Tell me again how a 2 degree increase over 100 years will kill us all?
