"The low temperature could plunge to 25 F in Philadelphia on Saturday morning. It hasn't been this cold so early in the season there since 1976," Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist and social media manager, said.

The latter half of the 1970s was weird, at least in the East.
There were a number of Bermuda Highs that made life miserable, especially for MLB pitchers that couldn’t keep up the pace in 90F+ temps in NYC and Boston.
Then there was the Blizzard of 1978 that hit the Northeast.
And sustained cold that froze pipes, set or met records for number of days total and continuous, for being at or below freezing, at or below 0F, etc.
Oh, and solar activity was blamed for bringing down Skylab earlier than predicted due to drag from an expanded atmosphere.
If we get bad winters like the late 70’s again a lot of people are going to be in rough shape. The heating equipment back 40 years ago was a lot more reliable than all this electronic crap they put out today. Lot’s of luck getting parts to heat your house.
Good for the both of you
Who is that, Colonel Stay-puft???
Someone should put a tracker on algore as he is great for having climate warming conferences in the middle of record cold and snow days.
“scientists” are desperately toiling away as we contemplate these record cold temps trying to get their global warming models to predict that things will get colder ...
Might be a good time to replace the igniter and/or fuel nozzle...
Batteries for the damn thermostats, too.
“i’m trying to grow peonies in Houston-Bring it!”
May the (cold) force be with you.
We both enjoy the winter sports even in our late 60s...but it IS nice having a CA home to retreat to when it gets to be too much around March.
Globull warmin izza reullzz. Oh noes!
So, are sea levels falling as we speak with all the cold weather? Have the polar bears gotten back on the ice floes?
You have to be as dumb as a Hollywood actress to believe in globull warming.
God is punishing the commie Rats for stealing the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I’ve done the second home thing as we had cabin at 7K altitude in S. CA. But it became a headache as every time we visited the cabin as it was all about working on the cabin. Found out homes don’t like being unoccupied and when you leave a home empty for long periods of time, it starts deteriorating and seems to require a whole lot of maintenance and $$ I really didn’t have. It was fun for about 4 years then it became a pain.
That Dude needs those old style Military Issue Eyeglasses, the big ones with the thick frames.
Yeah, dad lives in Reno. Was just there a few weeks ago. Went to Scheels for mags, ammo, etc. Stayed at the Peppermill. Took kids, grandkids. Dad is 86 and was happy to see us all.
If the great lakes freeze over then I will take notice.
Till then, its winter as usual.
