brrr its cold outside

[Ray Zee]

20 below tonight at my house and high of only maybe 5 or so tommorrow.
winter has really come to montana. the rest of the country has some cold as well.

the ice is now solid so my ice skates are at the door ready to skate at the pond or in town. maybe too much snow on the ground for me to want to shovel off the pond so i guess i will go into town and skate at the park. i like it to be up at least zero degrees though or my toes may get a little cold.

[BCPVP]

Can't beat -20, but it's 2 here in Whitewater (near Madison).

[JihadOnTheRiver]

Greetings from San Diego. It was freezing here all day too. I think it only managed to get up to, like, 65 or so. Must be Global Cooling.

Judging by my recent trip to the grocery store, no. But belly button rings and skirts do....wierd...

[CheckRaise]

It's -2 here in Duluth, which is considered a cold place to live even by Minnesota standards.

this actually sounds like fun for some reason to me. it's supposed to snow here in dallas tomorrow night and everyone is so jazzed about it but man you get to do movie type stuff.

[Los Feliz Slim]

It's getting down into the 40's in LA at night. When I go outside in the AM I need to wear a sweatshirt, it's absolutely nuts. Brrrrrrrr!

[wayabvpar]

Twenty degrees and the hockey game's on
Nobody cares they are way too far gone
Screamin' "boat drinks", something to keep 'em all warm

[MrTrik]

It's about 5 above here now in MN and I wonder why I live here. But the only other place I'd like to move to and will move to someday is Montana so I better adjust my attitude a bit. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[etizzle]

fuc k you, San Diego.

[bicyclekick]

brr it's freaking cold in here my freaking hands are numb.

[felson]

You stay classy, Kendall Square.

[UCF THAYER]

I wore a tank top and shorts to class today, though i have noticed it has gotten cooler outside.

[vexvelour]

It got down to 58 after the sun went down here in Orlando, FL. That is freaking cold for me. Damn toes won't warm up.

Currently 20 degrees here in Rochester, New York. Meh, used to it over the years. Last winter wasnt that bad, actually.

Its funny how people up here see 60 degree days as "perfect" weather, and people down south are freezing to death. Hmmmmmm.

60's is perfect. And I usually wear shorts till the snow starts to accumulate.

[tonypaladino]

It is 33 with a windchill of 23 here. I have the thermostat up to 78 now in my room because my body is so [censored] cold from being outside with just an open collared shirt and a suit jacket all day.

I'm reminded of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's weather broadcast when he visited Hawaii.

Oh no, Hawaii is threatened by three days of ... SHADE!

Moved to DC after 3 years at RIT. We got a light dusting of snow yesterday, it wasn't even sticking. My boss comes over to my desk around 3 and tells me that if I'm worried about the snow I can leave early. I looked at him and asked if he was serious and laughed.

Sooo ridiculous here compared to western ny. People think 30 degrees is absolutely frigid.

[Blarg]

That's how it is here in Southern California with rain. A drizzle comes up and people start slamming on their brakes so they can suddenly drop their speed by 30 miles an hour -- AS A SAFETY MEASURE. They start doing all kinds of crazy things that make the roads much more dangerous, like they've never driven in rain or even seen it before. All the ACTION NEWS reporters get in their helicopters and start screaming into their mikes; when they're on the ground they use umbrellas as props even when there's no rain going on at the moment, and promise instant live coverage of the terrifying sprinkle. You'd think it was time to build an Ark and the final judgment was coming down.

The sense of panic is bizarre for someone used to even a little rain.

I love cold weather, I miss connecticut.

Last night, with the temperature at freezing, I drive from Austin to Houston from midnight-3:00. I find out on the trip that my heater is broken. I could see my breath the entire way.

I do love cold weather, but I swear I need to buy more cold weather clothes.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Oh man, I remember those days, and I am glad I don't live in Montana any more. Nose hairs freezing and watching spit freeze in 5 seconds was always waaaaaaay too lame for me. Miss the snow and the mountains though. Nothing quite like seeing fresh snow on the rockies on a clear night. Maybe if you were lucky you got to see the Northern Lights. Have fun skating Ray.

Cold snap + Edmonton, Alberta - sanity = ~ -28 w/ wind chill.

Well I was on Coronado all day so it may have been different. WOW, 60?!? Did you have to wear pants?

It's 25 right now in Philly. That's not so bad, expect for my heat went out today (broken gas pump we think) and isn't going to be fixed until tomorrow. It's 45 degrees inside the house.

A few years ago we had an ice storm in the middle of May that was so bad it shut down the city for 2 days (and this is a city that's used to multiple feet of snow overnight).

[wonderwes]

I have lived in Texas all my life, and only experienced snow fall probably less than 10 times in my life. Truthfully, I could not even consider living up north. It think when it reaches the freezing mark that is cold enough.

I know the summers here get hot with 100F days with 90% humidity, and yes it can get bad when you have over a month of straight heat wave, but hey, the A/C is one of the best ever man made inventions.

I just simply hate the freaking cold.

[mmbt0ne]

It ain't no one to trust but me
And I got to make sure that I take care of my family
And it ain't no choices 'cause it's cold outside (It's cold outside)

And to my niggas on the block
On the grind and hustlin' tryin' to sell some rocks
You hear the voices say it's cold outside (It's cold outside)

I'm hiding out and smokin' herb
because my boss is getting on my [censored] nerves
But I got to take it 'cause it's cold outside (It's cold outside)

See rappin' is my only way
My mama told me just to save it for another day
But I got to make it cause it's cold outside (It's cold outside)

[Blarg]

Believe it or not, people get used to it.

[IggyWH]

Try setting concrete in these cold ass temperatures, it sucks major ass. Apparently, this power plant doesn't care much about it's warehouse since the min temps have flirted with freezing.

[ChipWrecked]

It is cold enough in Northern California that no deer jumped in front of me during my bike ride to work along the river tonight.

I broke out the long pants.

Las Vegas checking in at a brisk 38 degrees overnight. Afraid there won't be any skating going on here.

Don't forget to take your stick with you. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[whiskeytown]

I used to have to endure those Montana winters with just a wood stove for heat in a creaky 1910's house.

I'll tell ya what...if ANYTHING drove me out of Montana, it was that - when I move back someday the old place is going down and getting rebuilt a bit better...

with heat.

[Ray Zee]

i like the cold. it is real pretty outside with the sun and all.

but we had ice fog this morning. it was very thick. so when that happens i go down to the river in the morning. you see the fish jump and with the ice fog so cold they get frozen immediately in it. so i just take a sack and pick them right from the fog about waist high.

[ThaSaltCracka]

wow Ray, I have never heard of that before, sounds like a trip.

Do you need a license to "catch" those fish?

[swede123]

So it was supposed to be a high of five degrees today. My wife felt bad about leaving the dog outside so she locked him up in the house, but now she's worrying about him tearing it up. Would an 11 month old golden retriever be OK left outside in five degree weather for six hours? He would have access to a (ghetto) dog house.

[swolfe]

it's freezing rain and snow in dallas. must be the end of the world.

I'm voting No. That's pretty damn cold.

[Blarg]

Yeah. Even furry animals die of exposure. Five degrees is very cold. Think of yourself barefoot with a thin coat out there for that long. And as a kid. Best case scenario is you'd be absolutely miserable. Worst case scenarios let's not talk about.

In the mountains of VA and it is cold, but then I don't have heat. But it's still cold, my feet are tingling so much they are burning. I like Va and all but it is hot as hell here in the summer, over 100 for all of august and most of july, but then cold as nuts in the winter, but at least nuthin like -20, we'll get -5 in the morning for some of Feb maybe.

[swede123]

The one thing I got out of this thread is that most people these days (including myself) are pussies when it comes to cold weather. A few weeks ago I was talking to a guy who used to drive cattle up in Montana. This guy worked outside, year around and we got into talking about the weather. The cowboy said that it usually isn't too bad as long as it doesn't get colder than ten or fifteen below. But, when it drops down to sixty below it's pretty miserable to be in the saddle all day.

Its 28F currently at night (Austin, Tx), and might go into the low 20's. I just used some warn water and a dvd case to get the ice off my windshield. The ice has pretty much covered the city and closed everything down. I'll say it again, I live in Texas just to avoid this type of crappy weather. I don't see how you people go through 4+ months of this.

let the heater warm it up.

Yeah I know. It wasnt even that warm. I would say just room temperature. It was safe, no harm done. Now I have known girls that have tried using nearly boiling water on their windshield. You can obviously guess the results.
