Someone should pass the word that there are covid tests available for free somewhere. Perhaps we could get a bunch of liberals falling over waiting in the cold for their covid test kit.

“We’ve become a nation of pussies.”

No doubt. If the Chinese were to invade tomorrow they would be in control by the weekend.

Mom had to drag us in...Snow forts protected you from the wind .

[Noumenon]

Better throw another log in the woodstove.

When I was a kid the average temp this time of year was -50 and we had to walk. Kids of today have it so easy with global warming.

[xenia]

It’s January.

[Hojczyk]

Caused by global warming....????????bet on it

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Tough titties. No nuclear. No coal. No gas. No hydro. How those windmills working out for you now? Maybe you better keep voting for Democrats—ya think?

"Used to walk to school in those temps. No big deal."

It was a mile to my high school one way. Walked that distance and back every winter in Rochester, N.Y, from 8th grade until I graduated in 1965. Back then, girls couldn't wear slacks to school, so we were in dresses, and skirts and blouses every day. I was also on varsity cheer squad from 10th grade on, so had to go to every football and basketball game our varsity teams played on Saturdays, and after school.

Public schools are being closed, not for kid’s sake, but for their precious unionized teachers. Shameful slackers, all of them,

If this was a hot spell, it would be heralded as proof positive
of global warming.

Now it means nothing.

A few years back, my region was 5-15 degrees below the
average for the first six months of the year. Meant nothing.

Three days of hot weather, the sky is falling.

[SaveFerris]

One would think it was Winter 🥶❄️ or something!!

[AU72]

Wow, let me check the calendar:

January 10, never mind.

[SamAdams76]

I grew up in Boston. I don’t remember school ever being cancelled on account of cold weather - and it got a lot colder than it is going to be there tomorrow.

[rktman]

Did I read that right? Threatening the power grid? Better re-address this off shore wind mills. Or not.

[Seruzawa]

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I’m old enough to remember a time when the stupid and absolutely meaningless “wind chill” had not been created AND we used American units (F) and did not put the damned metric units in parentheses.

[Mears]

I heard it is related to keeping windows open at school and circulating air due to Covid.
