It’s colder’n penguin poop.
Wish I could move back to Guantanamo Bay.
From a Tonight show around 40 years ago...
Johnny: “It was real cold in Manhattan last night.”
Ed: “How cold was it?”
Johnny: “Well, I saw a chicken walking with a capon.”
I had to look that one up. :-)
Florida boy here Dixie yooper.
I’ve been to Clayton many time in summer and winter and have played golf there.
Being a flat lander I looked like an 8 year old on the course not knowing how to play real hills.
Knock hell out of it up hill and go short. Hit down hill and watch it fly.
I play lake courses and have never lost balls like I did on those hills.
Outside is colder. 4 feet down is 30 degrees warmer. ;-)
Its 10F° here in my town, night time
blowing snow, occasional flurries
going to be 30°F all week in daytime. :)
Drudge has a ton of sidebar headlines all about record setting cold, people dying and extinction etc. etc.
I must be living in the warmest part of the country, our forecast for the next week is mid 20’s above F here in south central Alaska. And I can honestly say that is warm, I can work outside with no major discomfort as long as there is no wind. My acceptable range of working temps in non thermal clothes is 55-65F, during the winter months with it anywhere from 40 above to 40 below and I wear my Underarmor Heat Gear, polypropylene and fleece thermals I only heat my shop no more than 55 above, any warmer the difference from inside to outside will give me the sniffles.
If I had to live in an arctic world where the highest temps were never above 40 degrees I would not suffer, I would get tired if I had to deal with -40 temps more than a month, usually our average cold winter temps are -40 for a week or two where I am 300 miles south of Fairbanks and about 50 miles north of Anchorage.
Even if I were living in sunny warm Florida I would still keep thermal underwear handy, you never know when a glacier might suddenly appear...interestingly enough I have two of them nearby.
My doorbell rang a moment ago... I went to answer it and found a brass monkey holding holding his crotch and begging to get into the house!

Oh, well "HOW COLD IS IT?"
Mid-Missouri:
Hit -3 deg F early this morning; projected high temp of 12 deg F.
Projected high for the coming week is 18 deg F on Wed.
If this holds, we’ll have at the least a 10 day stretch when we’ve
not been above freezing.
