Sorry, being in New England at the moment I just had to say that 
brings back memories of high school ( I went to high school up here too)…
It was like -6 below here in Boston last…was -22 below zero with the wind chill factor when I walked the dog this morning, BRRRRRR!!!
So, anyone else up here in the North East freezing their butts off too?
Loren
Not New England here, but tomorrow’s early high here near Rochester, NY is supposed to be +2 and then dropping to -2 to -4 with winds chills of -15 to -30, with 3 to 6 inches of additional snow expected. So we are enjoying the 1 degree that is out right now!

Hi, Loren.
It was -22F this morning. We’re pretty well nested in here, so it isn’t that big a deal. The children had a two hour delay before school this morning.
Best wishes,
Jerry
It was -10 F on my thermometer this morning and…
-44 F last night on top of Mt. Washington!!!
Knock on wood, no frozen pipes (yet–it’s supposed to be colder tonight) and the car started this morning, so I figure I’m ahead of the game!
Robin
Yeah, it’s silly isn’t it - When it was 22 degrees yesterday afternoon I was like “Whoohoo!! It’s warm again!!”

I can remember, when I was living in Iowa and the winters were cold with howling winds, I had been outdoors for some time. Then I went to the food coop to pick up an order of fresh milk. I went into the walk-in refrigerator and thought to myself, “It’s nice and warm in here.”
Best wishes,
Jerry
I know what you mean. I had the gloves and scarf on this morning. Must have been 50 or so. Brrr… 
(Awaiting macho reply from Loren.) :roll:

Try Canada! 
Really though, it was like -20 C here which is probably around -20 or so Farenheit… with the windchill: it was around -35 C
Last week was worse. And it is getting worse out now…
And this is only Fergus… Going up to Ottawa is like -35C before wind chill.
I’m sending the sled dogs to chew up your Abells, take that.

We’re not done yet, Loren. Tomorrow night looks like the coldest day in this little snap with some wind and snow mixed in. Usually not bad here though unless you have to stay outside for prolonged periods or your heat goes off. We’re really lucky.
I remember one winter maybe about 20 years ago when the temps went to around zero for a solid week and our heat went because the super cut off the tips of his fingers with a snow blower and didn’t order the oil. It got so cold that we had to stay with my brother-in-law in Brooklyn for a few days. There was millions of dollars of damage done to the building - radiators froze and exploded; pipes froze and cracked, and plaster walls just started breaking up. This is an old building (about 100 years) to begin with. A great old building with a working fireplace in every apartment; but that really didn’t help much; they’re more for effect. We’ve since switched over to gas with oil for back up secondary boilers only.
Stay warm and in touch my friend.
Regards,
PhilO
You are sooooooooo OT!

Yup, time to Eskimo up big time. I guess the silver lining to my current situation is that I don’t have any pipes to worry about
Gotta run, stay warm everyone!
Loren
How? I spent one December week in Ithaca and Niagara Falls a few years ago. My heaviest Maryland winter wear (long undies, down coat, hat, gloves, scarf,) was completely inadequate to the task of feeling comfortable up there. How do you outfit yourself if you must endure this level of coldness all winter?
Yeah, it was 64ºF/17ºC here, today.
today, here in Nova Scotia, it was -40 C, with wind chill 
I did my time in Maine; the extreme cold didn’t bother me that much, but the length of the winter really did. When it got to be a week or two without seeing 0 F (from below), and when it was winter for five months, that got to me.
Which is why I settled south of the Mason-Dixon line. The thing that gets to me down here is the weeks like last week. I was out in bare feet and shorts on Sunday (it had been warm for three days, thawing the ground), and it was 5 degrees just a few days later and stayed cold for three days.
Just wait, Loren, hopefully the summer will be pisser.
Looks a little like the Texas Panhandle in August.
Oh yeah. Now I remember. That’s why I live in Atlanta.
I lived in Calgary for two years. 80 below with
wind chill. Oh god that sucked.
I wore electric undies.
