Lovely...*L* My husband just recently re enlisted and Groton's one of two places we could possibly go for C class Sonar school...

Yes, it sure is an amazing place, there are warning signs along the way listing the amt. of deaths to people who passed certain points into bad weather. I hiked in August where is was 70 degrees at the base and 40 on top.

What amazed me the most was seeing planes flying below me.

That pic looks like a summertime photo.LOL

I am here on the coast in Scituate, and the temp is 2 below right now. Inland it will be a lot colder. - Tom

30 F effing degrees below? That's even colder Celsius! (-34!)

Yup, over a hundred schools in Massachusetts canceled school tomorrow, including mine. A snow day without the snow.

My students (middle school) didn't believe me when I told them the news, but they were jumping for joy when they realized I was telling the truth.

I don't know the factors that played into the decision, but I can imagine that there would have been more than one diesel school bus that wouldn't have started, and many teacher's cars will have dead batteries in the morning. It's hard to run a school without a full compliment of buses and teachers.

Being responsible for a district full of kids of all ages is not something I would want. Kids here just don't have arctic wardrobes (unless they ski). I guess they just chose to go with the safe option. These really are unusual and dangerous conditions.

No one is going to be happy about making it up in June, though.

Yup, got a little chilly today and yesterday, suppose to be worse tommorrow.
I spent the day outside thawing out my Jeep. My coolant was good till today. It froze up on my wife early this afternoon. Thank God I have the warm gear.

Can you iceskate Atlantic ocean yet?

[Semper911]

the temp is 2 below right now. Inland it will be a lot colder.

I have 6 below now, and about a 15 kt wind. I am in Franklin, just north of the RI border.

Did you do it the easy way?? - Tom

In the early 80's the thermometer froze at -55 in downtown Leominster. I lived right around the corner from it. I had 3 cars and none of them would start.

My tenant owned a 70 Maverick, piece of $hit, it started no problem. I had to take my car to a garage and warm it up before it would start.

Fine, powdery snow fell across much of the region, with the mercury dipping into the single digits in some places, and 20 and 30 degrees below zero in others

So much for it being "too cold to snow."

[PJ-Comix]

Here in South Florida it was like the Arctic last night. The temperature PLUNGED to about 52 degrees last night and about 2 AM I woke up and had to shut the windows. It took until about 1 PM before the temperature was able to reach the mid 70s. I don't know if I can take another night like that again.

Global Warming cultists have a convoluted rationale asserting that cold snaps such as that being borne by Northeast are further evidence of Global Warming.

[The Mayor]

there's a smart a$$ in every crowd!!

LOL!!

[Nataku X]

With that comment, you're the most hated freeper tonight ;)

[luvbach1]

It's 62F at 7:04 pm in San Diego. Please don't come.

[Doc On The Bay]

"Global Warming Advocates" are SO FULL of "PseudoScience" that NO "Evidence to the Contrary" exists that cannot be "Rationalized Away!"

Time to rent that favourite movie of yours, kids...

... and put on that fab LP on the turntable!

I lived in Ledyard!

We lived in housing, out by the back gate. My husband was on the Augusta, SSN-710 ('91-'96).

Not long ago he was talking about standing topside watch and how awful it was in the middle of a cold winter's night.
