Chillout Here!

[iseeuu]

Need to chill? Come visit now, in the central USA, and you can't help but be chilled!

I woke up this morning to a -3 F (That's about -19 C ). This is very rare in this part of the country. We have weather extremes, but 20 F (-7 C) is considered freezing cold, so this, for us, is like being in a deep freezer!! And the high temp today isn't even going to be 20 F.

We may fall below -10 F (-19 C) this week, plus add the wind chill factor and it will feel like -30 F (-35 C)!! Between here and Canada it is even colder, but such cold is not as unusual for them.

Many mobile homes and wood framed houses in this area will have their water lines freezing in this cold. How miserable!

If I have any friends out there, how 'bout sending me some warm sunshine, huh?

Chills!
Robert

Wish we could share some of our high temps with you. Down here it is the opposite.

I feel for you guys, especially with temps much lower than normal.
Hope it doesn't last too long.

We are getting the same here. I can only send warm thoughts. Soon this record setting Arctic blast will be history. Soon Spring will be here with the wondrous explosion of warmth and colors. I love living in a region with four distinct seasons. Sometimes the harshest parts of each can test our fortitude. I hope that your water pipes don't freeze and non of your extremities either. Chill Bob but stay warm!

Western North Carolina (while not as cold as you) is in the same situation right now...

We haven't seen temps around 0 (and many people below zero) in a VERY VERY long time

It is a little warmer today but check this out

 

[jfar]

Yeah, they'll say it has something to do with Global Warming, HUH, it should be called Global Freezing.
They say the North pole is melting and getting smaller, yeah right, it's getting Bigger if you ask me.

 

[garysgold]

Unfortunately, that below zero air is supposed to arrive here Sat. At least we have some snow on the ground to help insulate things.

Hey god gives you ice make ice cubes. Liberally add beverage of choice and laugh at it. I havent been out in days <g>

Thanks for the warm thoughts!! Rest assured my extremities are staying covered by "long johns", "insulated long underwear", "thermal underwear", or what ever you want to call them!!

The front porch (step) has been swept clean of snow and the auto has been thawed out, so my extremities are staying inside!!

Chills!

I would do that only if it is the second snow of the season...

Especially with you in a big city Ken...the pollution in the atmosphere that it brings down I think by the third snow the ice and snow should be clean

Doesn't make sense at first. But the Polar ice melts, adds fresh water to the salt water and disrupts the ocean currents that circulate the warm ocean water. The last time this happened, Northern Europe was unlivable do to the cold and the fact that nothing to eat would grow. Not looking forward to that ...

Chills!

Ahh sunny California. Problem is it's the same everyday.

Except the snow insulates the ground keeping the heat below ground so the air is even colder!!

If I didn't need to eat, I wouldn't have left the house either!

Think warm thoughts, think warm thoughts, think warm thoughts over this way ...

I am 230 road miles from Anchorage Alaska, Homer just waking up 8 am. it is 39 degrees out snow is melting I can hear it dripping from roof. It is still dark for 2 hours but gaining about minute half per day of daylight. If I could see anything out side I would be looking across Kachemak Bay at 5 glaciers but it is still very dark

If you need something to do, come to the Pacific Northwest and mildew. It's 53 degrees and raining (as usual) here.
