Hitting the beach again today for more volleyball. Board shorts and a t-shirt will hopefully keep me warm enough.

My sympathies to those who are not so fortunate.

Nah, I consider myself pretty fortunate. You can keep california all to yourself (and the other 38 million people ).

only -22 last night, not so bad. Got a fire going in the fireplace and a steamer running to heat the air easier.

The cold front is coming through our area as we speak (type?)....

Temperature is dropping like a school girl's dress on prom night...

It was 82 and crystal clear today at the zoo. Here I am relaxing on the lawn.

My car was reluctant to start after work. Ok, not a bad idea that schools and some businesses were closed.

All I can say is woohoo to living in the Southern Hemisphere. It's Summer at the moment ( ok, a really, really ordinary Summer so far) but even our winters here in Melbourne are really mild - in comparison. One of these years I'm going to travel and have a white Christmas somewhere.

3F / -16C here this morning... that's base temp. Being the wind sounds like a freight train outside, I'm sure the wind chill factor's going to drive that even colder..
man, Jersey's not supposed to get this cold dammit!

8 degrees this morning in suburban Atlanta, below zero with the wind chill. Pipes didn't freeze, but my car took several minutes to start. Stalled at a red light and almost didn't start again. We don't have any snow and it's certainly way colder elsewhere in the country, but we ain't used to this! Fortunately, it'll be 60 degrees again by Saturday.

Woke up to 3.5F. Not that cold. It was worse last week. No snow either, but I know about 15 miles north they supposedly got hit good.

Yeah but add the wind and the wind chill is down to -23F. Snow day! Hope my car starts...

 

[iamlowsound]

-27*C here right now. All the roads in my county are closed, as are the roads in the three other counties around me. We got a lot of snow Sunday night and it has been nothing but wind since then.

Snow day? You must be part of a public school district in some way.

Some of my work people were contemplating it last night and I said "yeah...I don't think so..."

I didn't have any problem starting this morning, and they keep telling me I need to get a new battery.

-21 with the windchill here. toilet grew some ice last night.

Oh puh-lease. I'm from Minnesota. You Hoosiers are serious wimps.

hhahahahaha. There was some lady going on about "not going out and shoveling or you'll die" sort of nonsense. I thought to myself, 5 degrees up the globe they putter through this 30x a year and turn out O.K.

 

[BurningSkies]

Though, like driving in the snow, you don't worry about the people who have to do it all the time, just the people who see it rarely and have no idea how to deal with it. That's where the danger lies.

So sub-zero temperatures are way more dangerous for people who are usually in the above-freezing range than they are to people who deal with that all winter long.

Besides, many people who live in houses that aren't properly outfitted for cold temperatures have an additional struggle on their hands.
