just because it’s summer down under doesn’t mean you wont get your polar vortex 6 months from now!

wonder what Al Gore is doing today?

lecturing about global warming somewhere, no doubt
I hope his 100’ solar powered house boat is stuck in thick ice

Yep. I don’t do FB, but my brother says there was a ton of people hollering until they cancelled school and saying their kids weren’t going regardless, blah blah blah. Of course, kids were out all over yesterday in the weather, but we couldn’t have them sitting in school for some reason.

It could be worse - in Fahrenheit; minus 11 is actually ‘43 below freezing’.

It must be too early or too cold for your joke!!!!!!!!!!!!

The media have short memories.

No they don't, they have an agenda.

“We seem to be using a combination of Celsius (0 degrees freezing) and Fahrenheit (32 degrees freezing)...”

When it is -40 degrees it is both...-40 C = -40 F. That is where our ‘windchill’ is right now.

I was going to criticize you, but as I thought about it ... a school closing because of cold weather is just plain wussiness on the part of the cadre.

THEY'RE the ones that don't want to come out of their homes and into the real world.

My criticism WAS going to be about the infrastructure of the school building(s), but with modern technology (certainly nothing like the old schools I went to in the 50's and 60's) ... there's no way we should have frozen pipes or whatever.

Our kids ain't the wusses ... it's the NEA et al

Those are the snow drifts, the ice underneath is smooth.

Little cool for icefishing. Maybe when I was younger.

We are at 5 degrees with a wind-chill of -10 here in the burbs of “hot’lanta”. City is shut down, of course, everything cancelled.

My wife grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis. School was never canceled and the only time her Dad gave her a ride to school was if the temp was minus 10 or lower.

I lived in Northern Minnesota in the '60s. It would routinely get below -40 F and C. I walked to college one morning as the radio reported -53 F.

My parents reported that later years didn't have as many spells that were that cold. It looks like it may be going back to that again. It's 24 F here in southern Texas. It's never been this cold in the eight years I have spent winter here.

I heard on the radio today some climate scientist claim that the polar vortex was influencing weather in Australia. He tried to link 40C+ (104F+) temps in the centre of Australia to the little chill you guys are having.

News flash, the middle of Australia is a thundering great big desert that in summer is supposed to be hotter than Satan’s scrotum.

I’ve worked in cold worse than this outside all day. You know when you pee outside at -45F it freezes before it hits the ground.

It’s 18 with a wind chill of 7 degrees here in FLORIDA. There goes the price of orange juice.

Lived in the Yukon in the 60s, with weeks of -50, coldest about -64, with a steady wind. Couldn't ski or sled if it was colder than -35, as everything started to stick. We waited outside for the bus in that temp, often for an hour or so as it was hard for them to get the darn things started. Inside the house there was a line of frost from the window to the floor, and you couldn't see out unless you scraped the frost off the window. The only thing you could wear on your feet and not get frostbite were mukluks, preferably the smelly moose ones.

Were you in Chicago for that infamous blizzard of January 1979, one that was so bad that the snow didn't finally go away until two months later because of the deep freeze in Chicago after the storm? That was the storm that cost then-Mayor Michael Bilandic his job.

In contrast, during the January 1999 blizzard, then-Mayor Richard M. Daley--remembering that 1979 experience--pre-positioned snow-fighting equipment all over Chicago before the storm hit. Though the 1999 storm dumped a huge amount of snow, because of this change, they were able to clear out all the snow in around seven days.
