It is -44 this morning.
Send Help.
I have just packaged some Florida air, currently 41f, and it will be on its way shortly.
You’re a life-saver… I hope the temperature conversion works okay as it crosses the border.
wow, i would die there. it’s 41F here and I can’t even go outside to check for mail. I shiver when I drive (I know, I should close that window.)
If you would like, I can wait for a warmer day to send up to you. ![]()
Yeah, actually you probably would die here, most people would without 8 layers of clothes.
Why on earth does it not bother my 5 month old Labrador Retriever??? I just don’t get it, his fur doesn’t seem THAT thick and yet he’s pestering us all to take him for a walk. He doesn’t seem to understand that severe frostbite can be painful.
Geez, and I thought I was freezing when I woke up this morning to 15 degrees Farenheit.
You poor thing. That’s just wrong.

well, it’s actually fairly warm. here. in my home, that is..
So when can we skate on the canal eh!

PS: Tomorrow is the first day of Summer in Australia
This morning: 14F, wind chill LOTS lower than that. Me, all 250+ pounds, in a heavy parka with a face mask and mittens walking 15 pound border terriers as they did their ‘thing’. Even in the heavy gear, I had to face away from the wind to find any degree of warmth, the boys wandereed around nonchalantly leaving their dominance calling cards, a few drops here, there and everywhere else.
My old black lab cross used to love to lie outsiide in the snow on sunny days. He’d make a nest in the snow with his body, then go to sleep as happily as if inside on his pet bed.
+41F here in winter means short sleeves and at most a windbreaker. Makes me wonder if our perception of cold doesn’t include a psychological component as great as the physical.
I was walking around in that for about an hour yesterday. I had to make a pit stop at a convenience store to thaw out. Luckly I didn’t lose any digits.
I wish there was something I could do for you Brian. Here in the Phoenix area, it was 77 degrees F. yesterday.
I’m originally from Northern Iowa, and I remember the winter days when the cold Canadian air would descend on us and we would get the squeaky styrofoam like snow when it was down to -20 degrees F or below.

It’s a little warmer here . . . 48F. And SUNNY!
The weather alarm went off twice last night, at 2 a.m. and again at 4:30, warning me that there would be dangerous 10-foot surf and giving instructions on escaping the resulting riptides whilst swimming . . . waking me up twice in near-freezing temperatures to tell me that. :roll:
Last night was some of the best sleeping weather we’ve had yet . . . I flung open all the windows to be able to sleep under a down comforter. Bliss!
The coldest I’ve ever been was Ithaca and Niagara Falls between Christmas and New Year’s a few years ago. And I think I was wearing almost 8 layers. How is it that humans ever migrated farther north than that?
I blame it on what I call my “equatorial build”–long limbs, long torso, not much insulation.
Wind chill dropped to 15 below zero (f), here this morning. It took an hour to get the car warmed up enough to get all the doors open after they had frozen. After that everything was fine. I walked my normal 2 miles from the train station to my office without any problems. I used to live up around Lake Erie where I learned that it’s what you wear and what your doing, I had good wind proof outer wear with down insulation middle wear. It was brisk, but at least it wasn’t that drizzly wet miserable stuff we had a few weeks ago.
Usually between Christmas and New Years. I think the NCC needs 10 consecutive days of -10 C until they pronounce it safe.
Excessive drinking?
“Hm… got to Ottawa and hunt beavers or Florida and grow oranges??? I think we know the answer.” And 300 years later here we are.
BTW, when do the two scales cross? -26?
Dude, do you EVER go out and do any actual “Doctoring”?
I’m starting to wonder how you’re ever gonna pay off those medical school bills ![]()

-40 is the same temperature on both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
I remember that being a trick question on a high school physics test. They’re both way too cold! ![]()
