((me shivers))
A bright sunny 14 degrees F this morning.
That’s -10 C for you folks that use that scale.
Too dang cold! Of course, I know many of you live where it gets very much colder, but for this country boy, still, too dang cold.
I’m gonna go fix hot coffee now…

It’s 3F here, and it’s too darn cold to do the conversion!!!
The dog looked at me like I was nuts when I attempted to let him out this morning. He is laying in the sun in the livingroom right now.
15 f here in the deep south, 60 down below on “strayaway”. The cat is VERY
snuggly! high today 33.
Went down around -10F last night, but it’s to be expected here. Man, Arkansas, though…ain’t it supposed to be warmer there?
Hang in there-

It’s too cold to go outside today. Our dog went for her walk today all by herself. She’s up to something, we just don’t know what yet. She was gone for well over an hour. We’re pretty certain she found a source of food. This started a couple fo weeks ago.
My www is her webpage. She has over 11,000 hits on her webpage.
It’s about 3F here, too. It sucks because I had to go to work this morning. I had to walk since the public bus doesn’t run on Sundays and taxis are hard to find. I wondered if extreme cold could make you have a heart attack or something, as I was walking.
I kept thinking of the Inuit and how they don’t die from the cold, and I made it.
What’s sad is six months from now, temps may well soar to 110 F at the hottest part of the day.
An old saying that has truth on multiple levels in spite of its poor grammar: “There ain’t no happy mediums in Arkansas.”

So I guess there’s no sympathy for us New Englanders at 27F.
Move north, get warm.
Spokane, Washington 11 am… 21F, -6C, wind chill 6F, -14C
Snowed about 3 inches overnight and it is light powder snow, so it’s blowing all around.
It was 10 F at 8:00 am when I went to church. When I left to come home at 10:30 it had “warmed up” to 18. I wish I could say this was unusual but here in the mountains of ole Virginny it is normal for this time of year.
I do not like cold weather. At least the bit of snow we had was so dry it just blew off the pavement.
Sunny and 53 F here. Wore socks. Didn’t really have to wear a lightweight fleece zip-up hoodie, but I did anyway.
And, no, Cran, people do not have heart attacks and die from the cold, nor does it cause pneumonia. (Check out “hypothermia” and “Reynaud’s syndrome,” though.) 
Zee Roe F here. Keeping the home fires burning.
Probably no sympathy for us out in So Cal- it was ( I think) low 40Fs at 8 am when we went for our Sunday bike ride.
Nope. Not one iota. 
7am: 10F, -12C with a wind chill of -2F, -19C
I can’t believe my mother-in-law wants my husband to take her out shopping in this cold! That means I have to go work (for free) at my husband’s bookstore instead of staying snug and warm at home.
I’ll be out burying someone in NJ, piping in approx 17F
and wearing a kilt.
20 F in Birmingham. 15 F yesterday.
Man you guys have it rough… It got down to maybe 38F here in Phoenix! Roughly 3 C…
High of about 60ish F or 15 C.
Don’t you just love the desert?
It’s been around 10 to 15 degrees fahrenheit for the last few days. Three feet of snow in the last 24 hours.
Best wishes,
Jerry
Wow. I’ll bet everything closed down for the cold. 
I just logged on to tease of the folks down south who are having a real taste of winter this year.
I wonder if it’s possible, but I’d like to have a demographic chart of the number of people who burn their houses down from misuse of space heaters. My guess is the number is real high in the south right now.
We had some joker try to thaw his water pipes with a blow torch yesterday in Constantine MI. You can imagine the outcome. I hope he has insurance.
Having lived in a mobile home for 20 years I’m quite the expert at such things as frozen water pipes. The trick is to have a lot of heat tape.
In addition, most trailer parks have the water inlet about 2 feet from the outside of the trailer. There’s a bend in the pipe where it goes from the ground to the trailer. That bend is the key point as it’s more difficult to wrap with tape. Make sure it’s double wrapped. Then wrap the whole thing from inlet to trailer with insulation and cover it with at least a foot of blankets and tarps. If it does manage to freeze (unlikely), unwrap the whole mess and use a hair dryer on the elbow bend.
Another heat saving device is snow. If you have enough snow, shovel the snow up into a pile around the skirting of the trailer so no wind can blow beneath.
You’re missing out. We love to bike in Minnesota, our bike trails are pristine along the river and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky this weekend. Eyelashes collect moisture from your breath and freeze together when you blink, it is the feeling of living. For what is life without sensation? Heat, cold, wet, and dry that is life! The moving in and out of one climate controlled environment to another deprives us from that, it is like a living death, and living in California must be like constantly living indoors.
I pity you.
The light blanket of snow covers the dirt and detritus and makes the land look clean and new, we cannot see the rotting leaves and brown snow that you must see every day. I lived in a place that did not have snow, it almost drove me mad.
