It is a balmy 16 degrees today in NYC. Where I live it is 13 degrees. Just lovely weather for standing on the platform waiting for a train to come. Wind chill is -4.

If I had an SUV, I'd go out and drive it more, in an attempt to release enough greenhouse gases to warm up my neighbors to the north.

It's getting cold globally because of global warming.

(I say with a straight face!)

Very kind of you to offer to do so.

It's all about the Wind Chill Factor. Reporting in from Middlebury, VT where it's about 3 degrees right now but without wind. Really not that bad.

LOL. The high temperature in New York City tomorrow is supposed to be 17.

People look at me kind of funny when I wait for the train in New Jersey with just a light overcoat and no hat.

Living in western Canada prepares you for some REAL cold. During the winter of 2000-2001 the coldest temperature in Calgary was -32F. Cold enough to freeze the moisture in your eyes and inside your mouth.

And cold enough to freeze your car tires flat on one side overnight from standing in the same position. The tires make a funny "bumpity-bumpity" sound for the first few miles you drive in the morning, until they are warm enough to rotate correctly.

They forget about us down south here. The arctic blast is going to hit us tonight. Expecting 3 or more inches of snow here in SC. I am sick of the cold weather! My family jokes that it is the Canadians fault (Canadian cold blasts or they are altering the jet stream) - Damn Canadians we should have taken over when we had the chance. ;) It suppose to be a high of 30 on Friday and a low of 14!!

I live on the MA/NH border and it's F'ing cold here as well. My wife and I love to cruise NH in our 'vette, but not under these conditions!

Skied Jay Peak a few years back. What a great mountain and tram. We went accross the border to pick up a few cases of Canadian brewed beer (higher alcohol content than in U.S.) sent skiing and retrieved the cold beer form the snow bank....great memories.

“Wind chill is if you’re standing out there naked, and I don’t see anyone out there naked,” Slattery said.

“It’s something weathermen use to scare the general public with.”

He's right, of course. You listen to the weather report on the radio, and they never tell you what the FReepin' temperature is, anymore. All they talk about is the wind chill. I, for one, wear clothes to work (for which my co-workers are eternally grateful).

A couple of weeks ago, the radio told me the wind chill was 24 degrees. I go outside and it was about 45 and breezy, and there I was in a parka! Grrrrr!

Just read the FReepin' thermometer and give me the FReepin' temperature!

You can be sure the media will "forget" about this cold spell when we are treated to the next hot spell and the next round of global warming BS. Climates change and this is a 100 year cold record, but hey, if you are a lefty, you keep beating your drum.

Way north of Toronto. At 8 am this morning it was -36f . Right now, the thermometer says -34f, with a windchill of -40f . But tommorrow it will be a high of -14 with a low of -26. Sounds like summer is on the way. Almost just around the corner :)

If you think car tires make a bumpity noise. Try it with a truck. The whole thing bounces up and down until they round out again. And vehicle exaust, it becomes fog. As in, I can't see the guy in front of me for fog !

[Alberta's Child]

Where exactly are you "way north of Toronto?"

I've been to more places in Canada than most Canadians, and in eastern Ontario (east of Lake Superior) I've been to places like North Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins, and Kirkland Lake.

HEY - That's not fair!!

[areafiftyone]

You guys are getting all the snow - its too cold up here in New York and its keeping the moisture down south. Can you believe the weatherman said its too cold up here for Snow? Wow!

[areafiftyone]

This cold reminds me of when I was little. We had great winters then with lots of snow.

I actually got questioned by one of my fellow passengers on the D.C. Metro this morning for wearing shorts (I like to shower and change to work clothes when I get to work).
