Re: Pretty Cold...

I would not be a Floridian if I didn't respond to this. It was like 50 degrees in the morning, before the sun came up. It was so cold that I wore jeans and a sweater to school. It is about 80 degrees now.

Looking out at the thermometer on our deck a few minutes ago it's -16 here in Watertown, Connecticut and there are occasional wind gusts. Can't wait to see how low it goes tommorow. Better yet can't wait to go to Atlanta!!!

As I speak, it's 2° in RI with the wind chill at -19°. We're due for a -6° with the wind chill at -40° tonight. In the morning and early afternoon, we have a low of 0° with the wind chill staying in the -30°'s.

Oh come on now, don't complain. Up here in Montreal it has consistently been around -25°F for the past week or so with a windchill factor of about -50°F (I converted the temperatures from centigrade for you guys).

Re: Pretty Cold...

It's a blustery 3 degrees here in Smithtown. With a windchill of -20.

I can't remember the last time it was this cold here.

Supposed to go below zero tonight.

It's funny how it's not even a big deal for me, I haven't even been wearing my winter jacket, just a light fall/spring jacket, because it's not as huge and bulky as my winter jacket . Yay for hypothermia.

Re: Pretty Cold...

Sunny Syracuse hit a high of -2 F today, stayed around -10 F with -21 F windchill all day. Similar yesterday and much the same forecasted for tomorrow.... all of the local schools have been closed, preventing progress with robotics.

What really sux0rs is that my college meanwhile thinks blustery weather such as this is ideal temps and sends us on our merry way to class....

Bout the only thing making me wish I was still in high school

Re: Pretty Cold...

It was less than 20 when I left this morning, with windchill below zero. Colder tonight. I like snow, as long as it's accompanied by snow.

Re: Pretty Cold...

Brrrr... I was excited to return home this weekend, however... up here in the mountains the wind is unbereable. At school, I live in a valley that stays slightly warmer, and thought everyone was crazy talking about how cold it was around the area.
