I was talking to a work partner in New Hampshire just a short time ago. He said the temperature is 8° and falling and they’re expecting about -13° over the weekend. That’s frigid even for them.

I remember going to school in 1972 in Michigan in December wearing a t-shirt.

They’re getting more ridiculous.

I always that the New York was part of New England but I was wrong. New your is excluded because it was originally Dutch then French then a colony of England while New England was hacked out of the wilderness by the English only. Interesting.

wrong orifice

Oh no. It’s going to be cold and windy for a day or two. I remember far worse weather when I was a kid, hiking miles to the bus stop in the snow, uphill both ways...

And barefoot. And we *liked* it!

As a guy that worked Grave shift on a flight line in Minot
I find that to be quite humorous.

It's 17 degrees with a wind chill of 1 degree here in Southern Connecticut. Just got back from an hour of walking. I can't believe they cancel schools over this weather. You just dress for it.

I put a wool sweater on, an overcoat, a scarf, mittens and a hat. I was fine.

Then I realize, the public schools around here let kids go to school in pajama bottoms and flip flops. Maybe the kids don't own winter clothing.

"They’re finally getting winter?"

If the global warming scam continues in area generations the average idiot will believe that New England was an arctic wasteland that has "catastrophically" warmed up.

Can't beat one of these

[Boardwalk]

The sun is out. It is 18 degrees. They canceled school. Snowflakes!

-20 f predicted for tonight, Currently 2 f at 12:30 pm winds gusting to 20 to 25 mph. Should be a fun night.

Just about to take the dog for a walk, I was thinking about using my heavy coat for the first time this year.

[wildcard_redneck]

Highest wind on Mt Washington…231 mph.
Great place to die.

Or to fly a kite. It sure soundly like a mountain to avoid. What is the factors that lead to Mt. Washington to be more cold and windy than the average mountain in New England?

Texas and now the north east.
He really gets around!

Where is that globull warming when you need it?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Shame heating oil is so expensive. People will die from the cold and the only ones to blame are the Rats. But somehow this will be blamed on Republicans and the media will run with that.

[EEGator]

I don’t know, I just know they have a weather station there, and climbers(unwise ones) die there often enough.

I think “Sam Adams 76” (I think on this thread) knows the area...

[rockabyebaby]

OMG, OMG we’re all gonna die, SMH! It’s 18 right now, and “feels like” 2 OMG! LOL! Boston schools are closed, as are other schools here in MA.

[Jim Robinson]

And we’re very sorry but due to global warming, you may not use gas or oil or coal or wood to heat your homes. Electricity is also out because of excessive demand.
