Stay Warm, Midwest

King James · 01-14-2009, 09:21 PM

temperatures here approaching -40 *F tonight with the wind chill.

You guys down south even know what wind chill is? haha

Global warming is bad news, eh?

schnell987 · 01-14-2009, 09:26 PM

Wow. We'll be at -1 tomorrow. I can't even imagine what -40 would be like. Time to store a yard gar in the car w/ a lighter & a sleeping bag in case the car gets stranded.

I'm sitting in the mini-mancave, huddled around my heater and finishing up my Joya de Nicaragua. It's 8F outside (windchill -2F) and about 45F here in the cave.

As soon as I finish, I'm heading in for the night!!!

Lil dog is normally a pain. Gotta walk her 20-30 houses before she will.... well you know.

We go out a while ago... maybe 10 feet. She stops, goes, sprints for the door.

Its really cold in OH.

krash · 01-14-2009, 10:35 PM

-20 right now here in southern MN. Will be a challenge to start the car in the morning as it's always colder at 5am. Tomorrow's forecast calling for a high of -5. Supposed to start warming up by Friday evening. Coldest I've seen here in many years. Glad I smoke inside this year.

Yep, it's starting to get a little frosty out here as well. I guess it's time to break out the fur-lined nookie warmer

IBQTEE1 · 01-15-2009, 04:19 PM

Drove into work this morning with it reading -7. Gotta love it. It's to cold to even cry about it. My eyes would freeze shut.

hotreds · 01-15-2009, 04:25 PM

When I lived in Moscow in the 1960s as a kid we were not allowed to go on our terrace in the winter because it was so cold the poorly constructed thing might actually break off. We also stayed inside on some days because it was so cold that your tears would, in fact, freeze. My father says it was about 40 below straight up at the worst.

Jbailey · 01-14-2009, 10:47 PM

looking at -15 around here tonight.

replicant_argent · 01-15-2009, 07:22 AM

A current Balmy -22F (-30 C) in the beautiful Twin Cities, kids!!!!! Bundle up and go out to the bus stop, because the superintendents of the 2 major school districts wouldn't call school off on the coldest day in 5 years.

If my kid got frostbite today, and had to have something amputated, I would be sure to call the stump "Insert Superintendants name here."
The one in St. Paul that my wife works for is from Alabama... I am pretty sure she doesn't "get" it.

This chick is going to be busy today answering a ton of angry phone calls.
