F@$! it's cold!

Current temp: 5 (above 0).  Current windchill: 13 below zero. Projected windchill range for today: 15 below to 25 below. I missed my bus this morning because I got frozen inside my car. I was at the park & ride, and I could not get out of my car. The handle was frozen. By the time I got it open, the bus was gone. The only thought my brain could form this morning was, "Fuuck, it's cold!"

I'm just glad I don't live in North Dakota. One of the H's former coworkers moved there, and she said most roads are impassable (due to blowing snow) and they are having "life-threatening" windchills of 45 below zero and lower. Yikes!

Re: F@$! it's cold!

  • Sad

     

    However, in Tampa Bay, FL it is going to be in the high 70s Stick out tongue

    Why do you think I left WI ASAP? I would not be leaving the house.

    Slainte!

  • Ugh. I don't know how you stand it, B! It'll be like 30 later today and I'm pissed. I hate being cold.
  • Yeah, I just have to remind myself how much I hated all the 100+ degree weather in TX growing up. The year I got my driver's license, we had more than 60 days of 100+ degree weather. And in my family, the teenagers got to drive the old beat-up family car with no A/C. Good times.

  • it's f-ing cold here too!  It was 5 BELOW this morning w/ a wind chill of -30+.  The weatherman said even though the temp would reach just above zero, the warmest it'll feel today is -15 to -25 due to the wind chill.  And people wonder why I want to move.....

  • It's currently -7 here. Supposed to get up to -1. I think the wind chill's supposed to be something like -30. I should call my parents. They live near North Dakota and most of the roads up there are closed.
  • why the hell would anyone WANT to live in the midwest??  I don't get it.

  • Wow.  It's like 40 here (but will be a bit colder tomorrow before getting warmish again on Wednesday), but 6 with windchill in my hometown (-5 in DH's)

    The people are nice yet also respective of personal space. Smile

    ...I just prefer the lower midwest...

  • imagelilmgirl:

    That is something I have always wondered myself.  Freezing winters and thunderstorm filled summers.  Not my cup of tea - San Jose, 49 and rainy today.

  • The low COL isn't bad, either.

    Fried Cheesecake

    Not a cheesecake person, but fried snickers are A-MAZING!

  • fried foods on sticks.  No wonder why we're so fat.

    But they're sooo goood....

    And the Indiana State Fair banned trans fats, so that helps a little, right?

  • It's getting up to 63 here today!  Very weird for December in NoVA.  I hate it. 

    I suppose it's better than below zero, but it's just not fun and wintry.

  • Temperatures and wind chills should not go below zero. I'm unhappy when they dip below freezing, but below zero is incomprehensible to me.

  • It's mostly been hovering around 50 or so here.  I'm still not used to NorCal weather...I miss the traditional seasons of the northeast.

    I actually like cold weather, just not painfully cold weather.  When I lived in Montreal, it would regularly get to -40.  That's where Celcius and Farenheit meet.  It was horrible.  I never want to be that cold ever again.

  • I got you ALL beat!!  -13 when I left my house this morning.  Yes, you read that right; 13 degrees BELOW ZERO!!  I live in Denver, for god's sake!  It's not supposed to be this cold!

    Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
  • Holy hell, that's just not right, Axilla. I'm not sure I could have gotten out of bed under those kind of conditions.

    BTW, let's not forget that winter doesn't officially begin for about a week. Hold me, I'm skerred.

  • Yea, I thought I had escaped super cold New England winters by moving to super temperate Seattle. It was 19 degrees when I left the house this morning with a wind chill of 10.  All told it's not that bad, but it's record breaking here.  People are FREAKING out.  And, anything under 20 qualifies as cold in my book!
