Where the hell are you man? Somewhere near the bottom circles of hell according to Dante (FYI: it's COLD near the bottom in that story).

That might be warmer. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a windchill less than -50 before, so it’ll be interesting to see what that’s like.

Chicago is colder than Antarctica.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck and I thought the 5 F here would be bad tomorrow night.

 

[Shakey]

Too cold even for the mail. https://www.kare11.com/mobile/artic...ortex/89-2c6ebc60-0688-4129-bc6c-3ebe0b65570e

At least this means I have an extra day to try to fix my mailbox that the plow took out Monday night.

My Son-in-Law will still be out delivering north of Kansas City...

Downright tropical here.

I've just been in mid-70's F for the past 3 days. I don't want to go home to 20F and snow.

 

[Bubble181]

Guys! There's this weird white stuff falling out of the sky here! Must be some sort of new pollution? It's sticky and cold and covers everything! I'm pretty sure that means it's the end times, I dunno.

 

[WasabiPoptart]

We've had our own "cold" front for almost a week. Been sleeping with blankets and wearing fuzzy socks. It's ridiculous, but I know I couldn't handle that arctic cold you all are dealing with. Come visit us!

 

[blotsfan]

Its the perfect combo of shitty weather and stopping in time to get the roads clear so I don't get a snow day. Every school preemptively closed today and tomorrow though.

Growing up sucks.

My computer is in the basement now. It's fucking COOOOLD down here! Holy crap.

Fire up Crysis, heat your entire house!

 

[Shakey]

I found out my weather station doesn’t go below -40.

Honestly, whether it’s -20 or -50, I couldn’t tell the difference. It’s just damn cold.

Meanwhile, in Southern Oregon:

Grass is growing in the lake bed of one of the larger regional lakes, now almost totally gone. Send rain! Snow! Anything! This state will be nothing but forest fires by the end of August.

That's pretty much what Arizona looks like.

Except for that silvery-bluish thing in the middle. What's that called?

Today is like a perfect winter day. Sure it's cold, but the Sun is out shining bright, reflecting off the snow. It took like ten minutes for my eyes to adjust when coming inside after a 20 minute walk.

And yesterday evening, before dusk, the Sun was above the horizon, piercing through the big fat flakes of falling snow.

I don't have to shovel snow. I don't have to drive to work. I get to just enjoy the weather and it is glorious.

I can't decide if I should give you an "Agree" or a "Disagree". Too bad I'm not @Bubble181 or I'd do both.

Idiots, both of them.

So what you guys are saying is it is colder than a...

Neither Punxatawney Phil nor Dunkirk Dave saw their shadows today. Hope is on the horizon!

Still waiting on word from French Creek Freddie.

 

[General Specific]

We may set a record high today. The reason I am posting here is the forecast for the next several days:

Going from 82 today to a low of 38 tomorrow night. I know none of those are especially impressive, I just wish the weather would pick something and stick with it. This bouncing back and forth crap sucks.

It's been so rainy and humid here this week that in the 24 hours between my morning showers, my towel isn't completely drying out.

Oh I have been. Who's a good kitty? He is. Yes, he is. Good kitty.

 

[jwhouk]

Only got up to 54F today. Gonna hit a low overnight of 36F. We're gonna have some sub-40 overnights for a few days...

 

[Dave]

Tomorrow morning our wind chill is going to be in the -20 region. Yay me.

 

[PatrThom]

Pulled into the gas station tonight cuz I was really low.
While I was fueling up:
-The wind goes from calm to strong 30-40MPH gusts.
-The temperature drops three degrees, putting it just below freezing.
-Rain is forecast for a few hours tonight.
-SIX bucket trucks pull in for fill-ups, each one with things like "Bob's Tree Service" written on them.

I would hate to be a tree in this town tonight.
