Super Off Topic!

OK THIS IS SUPER OFF TOPIC... but right now as we speak it's 7pm EST the sun is down and it's -53C!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just came back from school, and there is a cool warning (to stay in doors), the 3 minutes it took me to run to my car my hands (in skiing gloves) were frozen!!!!

i know how you feel my water froze up the past few nights
the old saying might be true .

cold enough to freeze the Ba@@s off a brass monkey

I know exactly what you guys mean. It went done to 67 last night and I couldn't find enough blankets. OMG I HATE WINTER ! ! ! !

down to 67?????????
hell we have seen 67 for a high in like 4 and a half months hehe
its been a low of anywhere between 0 and 5 above for the past week and a half here with highs in teens to mid 20's

Ill take that low of 67 about now hehe

Heck I'd take a high of 67! It's been hovering around zero here for who knows how long... snow piles upto my waist at least...

What's that ???

heh, don't know what you are all complaining about - its not the cold that gets ya - its the windchill. -32 c here. Nexus, where the heck are you that its colder than NoDak? Canada I'm guessing.

Heh, anyone else here walk to work?

BBC

Pennsylvania, and while talkin about the cold, its SOOOOOOOOO
'cold here right now Me and the wife have been taking turns staying up to keep turning the water on in our bathroom(only room in house that dont have a basement under it)
I just got up and she said she had the cold water on about 40 min before she got me up and low and behold its now frozen .... its 3:17 in the afternoon! and only 9 degrees above zero on the farenhiet scale (however its spelled)wind chill is like 25-30 below and it will only get colder from here!!!!

32? Its currently 14F here in NY!

I played football outside today, and that was probably the dumbest thing i ever did in my life

We are due to have the same weather here Rivn, Warnings of 20 to 30 below windchill. Right now as of 2pm Central it is supposed to be 20 below wind. And I got to take my little guy in for his 2 month checkup. No matter how I bundle him up I'm nervous taking him out at all in this. Vehicles don't like weather like this.

I'm on Long Island, New York, and its currently 22 degrees F. A few days ago we were at 9, which was scary. I am so cold!!! AHHH!

Oh boy I feel for the little one Charlie , I remember the same sort of things with my Kids they were born in Oct... and 2 in jan so the temps where almost NEVER in our favor (

just seen a news brief where tomorrows high will be 4* and 20-25 mile per hour winds most of the day ... not gonna be a good day for takin a walk thats 4 -sure

Been a little warmer here, anywhere from -8C to -16C in the -20's with the windchill. I walk to work each day to try and stay fit, nice and frosty when I get in. Sometimes I suit my nick name (crazy Canuck)

Anyone live in michigan. Where we got done with our winter spring, and now its freaking cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi nieghbor, lol Imhere in Wisconsin. Are you in the up? or lower?


Everything went ok with the little guy, except he didnt like his 2 month shots , but he is sleeping sound on my chest (somethin about a daddy's chest huh?

Btw I read in Time mag. in the doctors office that if trends continue into Feb. like Jan. was, we could be lookin at the coldest winter in recorded history.....Believe it or not? I doubt it but time will tell (no pun intended) Supposed to be colder then the winter of 76-77.

LOL yes i'm in Canada... The wind was even stronger today!!! It was crazy! but i'm at the 45th parallel

Tracy, I feel for you. You got an electric blanket? You may need several.



It's 30 degrees as I speak and we are bracing for 3-5 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow. Not that we'll get that but... here on the coast of Virginia, 3 inches brings our area to a screeching halt. NO WORK TOMORROW!

My hubby is in Michigan right now. During the winter he's in Wisconsin and Canada most of the time, so he has no sympathy.



mc

glad the little guy made out ok Charlie
I hate to see kids suffer though such an anguishing experience especially at such a young age

brrrrrrrr,. how long again till sumer? lol

Well I was really wondering why my heater was always running and it was still so freakin cold inside. So I walked around the apartment trying to find where the draft was coming from. I had forgotten to completely latch one of the bedroom windows I used to keep them a little bit open in the summer, and just opened and closed them, but never fully locked and latched them. One was cracked a bit and cold air was actually blowing IN. This I guess has been like this for months... lol.

ooops I'd hate to see your heating bill.....

But you would hate to see mine too, I got a 60 year old furnace in a house that doesnt have any wall insulation, and a siding installer that decided to rip off all the old siding when he didnt have the replacement siding on hand. I got a naked and very drafty house. Its amazing all those little nails holes create such a draft.

I know how you feel Charlie the house we are In we Just bought from My aunt this past fall, Its My family Homestead dateing back to 1860.....There have been 5 generations of my family to live here and Noone with a diferent lastname has EVER lived here...
But since she Inhearited it when My grandparents passed away 12 years ago she has done NOTHING at all to maintain it
and it needed work done then so ...............

Ican feel the draft as we speak lol...
i just had Oil delivered on Jan 2 and today I ran out at a lil after 3 this afternoon (
talk about expencive to heat ..... new windows this spring and sideing before next winter is a MUST
Have had frozen water lines several times this whole week and today got them unfrozen again for the 100th time to find out both waterlines to the bathroom are broke under a crawl space I cant fit in (very small like 12 inches at best)
soooooooooo I have to rip up the bathroom floor to replace them ...OH JOY!!!!!

just a lil frustrated at this point to say the least

OMG no thanks. I feel for ya. I can say I know how it feels. I have never been in that rough of a situation. Good luck hope the water leak doesn't create too big of a puddle and freezes in the foundation....Much bigger problems then.

thank god for shutoff valves!!!!
