Jagger | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 03:24 am     This cold bites big time, right now it is -13 below and that is with out the wind chill factor. Dang I am not looking forward to going to work today, I think I may be coming down with the same thing Kaili has. |
Queenfish | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 03:30 am     Dang Jagger, and here i am whinning about a minus 10wind chill factor. I would stay home if I were you. My bosses son is going to pick me up this morning so i won't have to drive. other wise i would stay home. |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 04:28 am     Holy crap - it is 0 degrees and -25 windchill here. I don't care for this a bit, and I've got some travelling to do!! |
Twinkie | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 04:44 am     GAL, maybe you might be coming down with something? I hear there's something bad going around.  |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 05:10 am     I wish, Twink - but I have several jury trials scheduled next month, and final pretrials are today. It's either reach an agreement or commit to trial, so unless I'm in the hospital I need to be there (considers checking herself in anyway) |
Tess | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 07:29 am     Well, we are really hoping and praying to get up to -1 today (not counting windchill). It's not much warmer now than when Jagger posted. Still -11. We've got a ways to go. It's still sunny with no snow. I'd much rather have the snow. |
Webkitty | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 07:54 am     Its supposed to get down to 27 here tonight, and windy. Wind chill will take in down even more. This is serious cold for my part of Florida, and the concerns over crops are all over the news. People will have sheets and burlap draped over their tropical shrubs/plants and trees tonight. Its kind of funny looking, but necessary because they are a big investment in the home. I mean this as a serious post, so try not to flame me too much (please) I used to live in New England and know the cold the rest of you are experiencing, its not a joking matter, especially since its only Jan. Ug. Stay warm everyone  |
Kaili | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 08:29 am     Webkitty- I understand- not cold to us but for that part of the country it's bad. Besides, below freezing is below freezing. Target is selling huge tropical indoor plants for $10- I bought one earlier this week and was going to go back for another but I don't want to even walk it to my car because of the cold. Hope you get your plants all covered! I remember when I was little and we lived in Oregon and they cancelled school after we had the tiniest bit of snow. My mom drove me to school like any other day and we couldn't believe it was cancelled for what was essentially a dusting. Seriously, I would always laugh when I lived in Arizona and drove down to Phoenix- it would be 70 deg. (midwinter) and they were all bundled up which I thought was funny, but for them I guess it was cold. |
Hippyt | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:26 am     It's going to be in the 20's here too Webkitty. That's insanely cold for here. I'm just glad we aren't getting any ice,because when that happens the stupid drivers on the freeways all play bumper cars.People here cannot drive in ice,but they won't stay off the roads! I went to let the dog and cat out this morning.I opened the door,they looked out,looked at me like I was insane and both sat down! |
Cyn | Sunday, January 26, 2003 - 10:19 pm     OMG, I went outside and the streets are covered with snow. When did this happen? IT's another day/evening of below freezing weather in NYC. |
Nanarobin | Monday, January 27, 2003 - 12:49 am     HI...was just surfing about the board since not able to sleep now....just looked at my WeatherBug and see that it is currently -4 deg. at my weather station, which is about 2 mi away....brrrr and it's garbage day...not sure that I wanna walk down the drive to put it out!! I might just have to think on this a bit...but then I need to get the newspaper in...so guess I will bundle up and brave the cold! Brrrrrrrrr!!!! |
Schoolmarm | Monday, January 27, 2003 - 03:57 am     Shoot....0 or below again right now. We will be lucky to hit double digits today. This is the 17th day in a row we have had below freezing temps. They closed one of our bridges yesterday because the road was so dangerous. (Its approach is a curve and a 5-8% grade slope...probably had a couple of accidents there) Unfortunately the river curves several times by me and that was the last bridge for going home. Had to get on the interstate for a detour. SIGH. I'm debating walking the four blocks to my office today because I'm not sure that I want to mess with getting my car out of the garage and then being frozen over after being out all day when I go home. Once I open my door, the cold air will probably blast me back to clearer thinking! Keep warm, everyone! |
Car54 | Monday, January 27, 2003 - 03:23 pm     Tonight is supposed to be the coldest yet. It is only 6 pm here and it is like -10 already. Oh boy. |
Julieboo | Monday, January 27, 2003 - 03:29 pm     Keep your tootsies and other body parts and pets warm!!! |
Yankee_In_Ca | Monday, January 27, 2003 - 04:06 pm     I really feel for everyone experiencing unusual cold. I keep hearing from my friends and family (and this board!) how dangerously cold, and how horrible it is. I'm thinking about everyone on this board, and hoping you stay warm. I feel a little guilty, because it's unseasonably warm here where I am (Vancouver). I'll spare you all the details, but it's really screwed up when it's warmer in Canada than in Florida. |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 04:12 am     Well, well, well, Pittsburgh weather was just on the Early Show! They are up to 10 or 12...I live a bit north and it's still in the single digits. This is day 18 of below freezing weather, and unlike Pittsburgh, we had snow yesterday...for at least the 18th day in a row. More snow coming today and tomorrow. But it will warm up. We MIGHT see 20 this afternoon. Twenty will feel like a heat wave! I called my brother for his birthday last night. They live by the Black Hills in South Dakota. It's usually really cold and snowy there. They had rain and 50 degree weather! Go figure! I'm willing to ship snow to anyone, at this point. Too bad my knee can't handle skiing, the powder is perfect! |
Car54 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 04:22 am     Make it stop....please....it is -10 this am...the coldest day so far (they say that every day!) I just want to crawl back under the covers and stay there. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 04:34 am     We are at a positively sweltering 10 degrees here in Indy - I feel so guilty reaping the benefits of such a heatwave. It's practically laying out weather. I'll be thinking of you all as I recline by the frozen reservoir in my fur bikini, incurring reflective sunburn and snowblindness. |
Cyn | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:00 am     Aghh, it's still below freezing here in Gothem, and doggie has to wear boots and his fur jacket outside, cause the salt has so much chlorine in it that it gives him burns on his feet. But we bundle up and run in an out quickly. |
Cyn | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:13 am     Ugh, it is so cold that I bailed on the dog walk and entrusted him with his friend that walks the other puppies on their routine. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:15 am     we are at a hott 18 degrees, supposed to be in the 20's and snow this evening, turning to rain tomorrow morning. i never thought i would say this but im so ready for spring. i usually love winter. |
Suitsmefine | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:31 am     It is 42 degrees right now getting up to 60 by afternoon... with some moisture in the air, THANK YOU LORD!!!, I am so sick of getting the "chit" shocked out of me from all the static electricity....alas it is supposed to turn cold again tomorrow so I intend to enjoy today! |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:33 am     Can you imagine what it's like to be a cat in all this static electricity? Poor Julio runs from room to room trying to get away from himself. |
Suitsmefine | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:40 am     OMG, Gal....Our poor little girls are the same way. They cringe everytime DS goes to pet them!! |
Tess | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:58 am     It's snowing here. Finally! We've only had 6 inches for the season so far and we normally have about 50 inches. I just hope we don't end up making all those lost inches between now and the end of March. But Yay!! Our whole yard is covered for the first time since last winter. |
