Who's COLD???

[Texasgal]

BRRR.. it's 44 degrees here on Austin with a stiff north wind. It's supposed to get down in the high 20's tonight!!!

Way too early!!!

[bigwillq]

1. It's been warm in CT the last few days

but down into the 30s for the weekend, with maybe some snow. Yuck.

[fizzgig]

2. it's about one degree in northern colorado right now

this is january weather, not november weather.

[hlthe2b]

3. Oh, darlin... You are about to get bombarded by those of us in the subzero zone!

LOL
Snow, zero degree actual temps and double digit subzero wind chills, but boy did we have a great and long Indian Summer this year.

SO, we're due, I guess. BUt did it have to do so so drastically? (was in the 60's Monday morning)

[Texasgal]

5. Oh I know... We Texans are such whiners!

LOL! We are just not used to being this cold this soon!

[Texasgal]

7. Are you in Colorado?

I can't remember...

[hlthe2b]

12. Yup...

[Texasgal]

13. I heard that Colorado got hit hard!

Crazy!!!

I'm getting reports that it might sleet next week! HOLY MOLY! We are so not ready for that!

I hope you are keeping warm!

[hlthe2b]

14. I can stand the cold. I can stand the snow. But, I can't stand wind along with it...

SO, we mainly have the first two, so it is bearable. First few drives in snow and ice are always a little bare-knuckled though, with everyone seemingly trying to remember how to do it!

OH, and sleet/freezing rain is a whole different animal. Hate it!

[Texasgal]

15. Any amount of sleet or freezing rain

will close this city down. No school, no work except for the very brave. Texans do not know how to drive in that type of weather!

The wind is very strong, makes it feel colder! We just lit a fire in the fireplace, got out the fuzzy blankets! My poor dogs are so confused!!

28. -12 tonite in Denver

breaking a 130 yr record. Not a fun way to be on all the national news. I think it's a conspiracy to tell Boulder we can't possibly manage municipalization and will need more fracking. Can't wait to hear Inhofe and all his" thousands of scientists" tell the Environmental Committee which he will now chair that they knew global warming and climate change were hoaxes all the time.

[frogmarch]

4. Me! One below zero here

in western Nebraska! Plus we got snow. BRRRR.

[Texasgal]

6. Oh MAN!

That's REALLY cold!!! I think I would roll up into a ball and CRY!!!

Keep Warm!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Not yet. It's about 22F, won't get below zero til next week.

[Callmecrazy]

9. Currently 73 here in Fort Lauderdale...

getting down to a chilly 65 tonight.
I may have to wear long pants to work tomorrow.

[Texasgal]

10. HA!

I actually am not minding some cold weather but it just seem weird that it is happening so early! We usually stay 60's to 70's through Thanksgiving!

Go get a tan!

[applegrove]

11. Got some digital LED candles. I can change the color of the lights to warmer tones

when I need to. It helps psychologically.

[greendog]

16. It was -18 when I woke up this morning in Butte, MT.

+36 this evening just west of Elko, NV. Happy to be headed to Southern California.

[Rhiannon12866]

17. Me!!! I was freezing on the way home tonight

Couldn't wait for the heat to come on in my car. It's 37 here in New York. The Weather Channel says "feels like 33." It's too early for this, but I'm never ready.

[seabeyond]

18. 16 degrees at nine this morning. Winter is here. Yea. saw a few flakes just now. Nt

[Texasgal]

20. Whoa! Flakes?

BRRRR! Just BRRRRRRRR!

[seabeyond]

22. just hitting the store tonight, put on long coat and scarf. wasnt enough. need me some gloves....

but no. not suppose to have snow. ice pellets sunday.

we dropped from 70's yesterday to teens today

i LOVE winter. almost as much as fall.

[2theleft]

19. 72 in RVA today, but 49 tomorrow!!

BRRRR...crazy weather! I have my fire built, ready to light when I get home from work tomorrow. Everyone stay warm and safe!

[Paulie]

21. Elsa came early this year

[noamnety]

23. I'm proud of myself.

It was in the mid 30's here, but I still biked to work today.

and I'm excited - I ordered a face mask for biking and it arrived this afternoon. It's supposed to be below freezing when I leave tomorrow and it's almost 12 miles one way, so I'm gonna be psyched to have it. Today I had an infinity scarf thing I could pull above my nose, but I had to ride with my shoulders hunched up a bit to keep it in place.

[catnhatnh]

24. It's heading towards New Hampshire...

...but today topped out just over 60 degrees.

[mopinko]

25. feel better than yesterday.

it is a little colder, but not raining and damp.
low 30's and rainy is the WORST, imho.

[RebelOne]

26. Not yet. But it is predicted to be in the 20s

tomorrow night here in North Georgia. Hope my pipes do not freeze and break like they did last year. We had a brutal winter last year and I had four pipes break. I live in a mobile home and it is hard to keep the cold out, but I have a heater now under the house and will be turning it on tomorrow. I love cold weather, but not when it causes my water pipes to freeze up and break.

27. 25 here in Sheboygan, Wisconsin...

Quit laughing! I like it here!

It's cold.

[Kali]

29. if I was home I would be

the damn house is colder than outside right now
but I am 1000 feet lower and in Phx at the moment, sitting barefoot and in shorts...aaaahhhh

I think it must still be in the 70s here tonight. it was unpleasantly warm this afternoon.

[Skittles]

30. there's something about Texas cold

I've lived in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota but I have to say, there's something different about the Texas cold - maybe it's the sheer contrast - wasn't it 90 degrees, like, two weeks ago???

[LeftInTX]

34. My house has poor insulation. I've got this huge north facing picture window

Cold wind blows through the seams. It's kind of a novelty, so I put up with it.

It's 20 degrees colder than average right now.

[csziggy]

31. The first weekend of November it got down into the low to mid 30s here in Tallahassee

And of course, on the first cold day of the year the two year old gelding had to colic. Nothing serious, just enough to call out the vet and to keep everybody up all night checking on him. It was so NOT fun going out every hour all night with the cold weather and stiff winds that sucked all the heat out of the body. The gelding is doing OK now - good thing because he's going off to the trainer in two weeks to be started under saddle.

[LeftInTX]

32. I've been cold all day - not used to it

The high was 52 today, but it's windy and my house has very little insulation. The wind comes through where my picture window meets the walls. (I would get it fixed, but the few days that this happens makes it a novelty) It's going to get down into the low 30s tonight. I'm in San Antonio.

[Laffy Kat]

33. Boulder County, Colorado. . .

2 degrees. Help. Send hot chocolate and brandy. Especially send brandy, forget the hot chocolate.

[alp227]

35. "I is COLD, and globurr warmin' a left wang HOAX!" --Some people in Texas this week,

thanks to...OK this the Lounge you fill in the blanks.

But really. Only reached the 40s in Dallas and San Antonio today? When i read the wundermap today it was really crazy to see the cold weather at this time of year in the southeast! And not even 10 degrees in some parts of the heartland?

[betsuni]

36. Tonight's cold enough to wear multiple sweaters

and use all three blankets, two down comforters and one quilt on the bed. Luckily I bought a small but strong electric space heater last week. The other heaters are fueled by kerosene and we haven't gone to the gas station to buy any kerosene yet. My apartment is unheated and uninsulated, a strong draft whistles through the sliding glass doors. One room at a time is heated by space heaters, the others not. Thanks, Japan. At least it's not as bad as my mother-in-law's house where taking a bath or going to the toilet in winter is like doing so in a refrigerator. On the other hand, more calories are burned keeping warm and this excuse for gluttony is worth it.

And then because you get used to living in unheated dwellings and bundle up to walk in freezing winds, when you get to the over-heated subway or train or building, you immediately begin sweating and clawing off your layers, feel like passing out.

[LWolf]

37. It's 18 degrees here right now,

with today's high forecast for 29, and snow falling.

Finally, I can go all day without being too hot, unless they turn up the heat too high in the building at work.

[B Calm]

38. I'm showing 28 degrees here in Indiana. Chance of flurries today

and temps in the teens tonight. Pretty unusual weather for this time of the year.

[Odin2005]

39. 14F here in Fargo!

[Blue_In_AK]

40. Dear Lower 48,

please send us back our snow. We miss it.
