20 degrees on the West Coast does not make your bones hurt the way 20 degrees does in the SE.
Its the humidity, indeed.
Been in 5 degree weather in Eastern Washington
and in 20 degree weather here in Ala
and much prefer the drier cold.
I cannot imagine when you add in the wind YOU are having...good god.
How do you stay warm? Do you have gas heat? ( gas makes such a difference, I find)

(23,336 posts)but I'm not going to step outside. I see snow and wind. It just looks nasty.
I'll stay inside, where the temp is very nice.

(60,010 posts)Seems to me there comes a point where your extremities just turn blue and fall off anyhow much below 10 degrees

(33,688 posts)it's like getting hit with a bag of fereezing slush. Your face stops working for a while and it goes to the bone. Definitely worse than 10 above.

(12,272 posts)Supposed to get up to 36, just enough to melt a bit of snow so it can freeze tonight and make that pesky black-ice SUVs so dearly try to deny here. Now I feel like a whiner, please stay warm and safe.

(8,492 posts)...central high desert, Arizona. Supposed to be in the 60s this weekend. Very bizarre winter, so far. Snowed much earlier than usual and has been unseasonably warm, even at nite.
Was that me complaining??? Hell no.
