minus fucking three in Boston

[barackmyworld]

GAH!!! This crap needs to end soon, or I am never leaving my room.

[PittPoliSci]

1. could be worse...

you could have a fire alarm pulled right now.

[barackmyworld]

2. people would just stay in their rooms

in hopes of fire making it warmer.

[PittPoliSci]

5. i know how you feel...

i think my hands froze to my car's steering wheel today.

[JohnKleeb]

3. oh god that would suck

Its 23 degrees warmer than that here, and I can't stand it, yes make fun of me for being from the south and having a hard time with cold weather btu damn this 20 degree weather sucks.

[PittPoliSci]

6. one week ago in Pittsburgh...

it was 72 degrees out. now it's bottoming out at about 3. we have what is called bipolar weather in Pittsburgh.

[JohnKleeb]

8. thats insane

I hate this weather because I am gonna be out in all day thursday.

[PittPoliSci]

11. could be worse.

your hands could've turned bright red during the short walk from your car to your classroom today due to the ridiculous windchill. they went numb. NUMB. i've never experienced anything like it before. The shock of a 70 degree temperature drop has left EVERYONE sick too.

[JohnKleeb]

15. I dont have a car

:( I have to walk to school in this cold.

[PittPoliSci]

18. no buses?

or public transportation?

walking is rough in this weather, gotta worry about getting splashed by slush, frostbite, and the general badness that goes along with exercising in extremely cold weather.

[JohnKleeb]

20. If I were to take the bus, I'd have to wake up a half hour earlier

I aint doin that and there are no public transportation systems to the high school.

[PittPoliSci]

23. i'd probably just do what you do then.

I hate walking in the snow, but i hate waking up even more.

[JohnKleeb]

27. Its not snowing, its just cold

[PittPoliSci]

36. it still sucks.

regardless.

[barackmyworld]

48. that's what's weird, no snow!

I wonder if we're gonna get a huge snow dump anytime this winter. I would prefer 30 and snow to this.

[JohnKleeb]

52. its 20 degrees here

we still haven't got our first snow fall yet. Hell, people down here in Virginia are so not fond of cold, we had a delay because of the cold today.

[PittPoliSci]

58. i'm supposed to be pelted with snowstorms

every other day this week while remaining ghastly cold. so I'm not real thrilled about weather in general, however, I do have a great excuse to not do anything now.

[barackmyworld]

13. chicago is like that sometimes too

especially in december/feb

[PittPoliSci]

16. chicago gets the wind too...

which makes it even worse, plus lake effect snow, and all sorts of other bad things.

I really liked summer last week.

[JohnKleeb]

19. ahh the wind

how I hate it without a hat.

[PittPoliSci]

25. i have this ridiculously ugly hat.

think uncle buck with about about another inch of fur covering it, and it's grey. it's seriously the ugliest thing ever, but it keeps me so damn warm. plus, if you flip up the ear flaps, we have what is known as "genghis khan mode" with it's fake horns.

"a lot of people hate this hat, the very sight of it enrages them beyond belief."

[JohnKleeb]

26. Dude Ive seen those, freaky

I didnt have mine today and my ears freaked out.

[PittPoliSci]

32. i was at a Sheetz and I had 3 people offer to buy it off my head.

I was kinda creeped out. A few years ago, my friend Dave bought it as a joke, his g/f hated it so much she made him give it to me. Then, all he did was complain about how much he liked that hat, so she had to go out and buy him a new one, essentially, I received a free ugly freakin' hat.

[JohnKleeb]

37. I need a hat, I misplaced mine when I thought the winter died

[PittPoliSci]

39. i just found a picture of me in the hat.

i'm going to post in a minute.

[JohnKleeb]

41. hah all right, I know what those things look like though

[PittPoliSci]

42. this is no ordinary ugly hat though...

it has the power to...

make you look really silly.

[JohnKleeb]

44. I need my hat, christ

maybe I can go to the store sometime and buy my first piece of sportsgear since the mid 90's.

[PittPoliSci]

46. here it is...

in all it's glory. from a hockey game in the park from last winter. It's bad enough I'm wearing that hat, but I can't skate either, and I'm wearing OLD OLD OLD hockey pants.





when it's this cold out, you need to wear as much padding as possible to stay warm.

[JohnKleeb]

49. Dang

Hah I remember last winter, I saw a kid wearing a very Russian looking hat. Damnit, I need my hat or my hair will go frozen again tommorow, I hate it.

[barackmyworld]

53. totally worth it

That looks WARM! And once you get past a certain point of hat ugliness, it becomes ironic and cool. Wear it with pride.

[PittPoliSci]

57. it transcends ironic and cool...

and heads right back over to hideous.

although everyone laughs at the hat, they do it with me, cause I know how bad it looks.

on edit:

I just realized I'm not even wearing hockey gloves in that picture, that's how damn cold it must've been.

[barackmyworld]

31. I have an ear flap hat!

it was the only women's hat at target that covered the ears. It's pink suede-looking stuff, but it's still heinous. I wore it over the hood on my hoodie, so it looked extra-tall and embarassing. Although now, I think everyone here kind of has an agreement to just wear whatever the hell is necessary and not to make fun of anyone.

[PittPoliSci]

34. i think my hat came from target too.

but i don't know as i didn't actually buy it, see my other post to Kleeb about how i came into possession of said hat.

[maveric]

4. Thats my old hometown. In my new one, San Diego, it was 82 and sunny.

Many years ago I asked myself: "Do I really have to stay here?"
I feel for you my friend!

[barackmyworld]

7. hey, why don't you shut up and die

sorry, I am bitter...bitter cold.

[maveric]

21. Its too nice out to die. I'm actually going to the beach, OB, tomorrow.

To take some tidepool photos.
Life can be good!

[barackmyworld]

24. at least I'll be at disneyworld in one week!

someone please tell me that orlando is not going through this insane chill

[maveric]

35. I dont know about Orlando but San Diego will be 78 and no rain.

Disney is a red zone where the San Diego Zoo is blue!
Can you change your plans? I'll take you on the grand tour.

[barackmyworld]

43. I spent last spring break in San Diego

in Vista. Beautiful beaches up (or maybe down?) the coast! I particularly remember one that might have been called Moonlit? It had rock cliffs with a lot of colorful stuff growing on them. Though it was actually rather cold when I went! I think usually in the mid 60-s during the day, in March.

[maveric]

55. Come here from April - October.

It wont be as cold.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

9. Down here in the South we aren't faring much better...

it was in the teens this morning and feels that way again.

[TrustingDog]

10. -3? hahahahahahahah! where's your barbeque?

it's been -35+ here lately. Note that either Farenhiet/Celsius, at -40 they the same.

[barackmyworld]

12. yeah, but we have to go places

it's final exam time, so you HAVE to go to the exams (walking for 15-20 minutes sometimes)

it's cold in my room and it makes my hands cold to type notes :(
I put a blanket in front of the window

[underseasurveyor]

59. Here also. I'm so glad those frigid temps finally moved on out.

Negative 3 degrees would have seemed almost tropical compared to the temps we had up until yesterday. At 37 degrees, on the :thumbsup: side for a change, why it's shorts and tee shirt weather now :D

[Liberal In Texas]

14. As I always say when I have to go up there in the north in the winter...

WHY DO THE FUCK TO YOU LIVE WHERE IT IS SO COLD?

[barackmyworld]

17. it's worth it for the school

sorry, but the weather of alabama state isn't going to make me go there instead of harvard

[Liberal In Texas]

30. Oh, gee. Harvard.

Hopefully while you're there they will teach how to use capitals on the keyboard.

It's a new invention. UPPER & lower.

Cool, eh?

Don't put down Alabama State or Texas U or any other school, please.

They all have they're attractions.

Don't be a snot.

[barackmyworld]

40. ack sorry, I didn't mean it as an insult!

I just wouldn't pick a school based on weather (which some of my friends have!)

I am a lazy typist, and I recently finished some enormous papers for class. I'm going through a proper typing backlash.

[Liberal In Texas]

50. Fair enough.

The best of luck to you.

And, hang in there. I know college can be tough.

[LDS Jock]

22. you think you're cold.. its gonna be 74 here tomorrow

brrrr

[JohnKleeb]

28. ok I am so kicking your ass for that

:).

[WindRavenX]

29. I *like* this cold weather we've been getting

Nothing like cuddling up with a nice, cuddly boyfriend and watching Garden State with non-dairy hot chocolate. Mmmm.

[barackmyworld]

47. aww!

My bf doesn't want to walk over here because it takes 10 minutes. Not that I would do it either!

[PittPoliSci]

51. i drove 30 minutes in the tundra today

to watch cheezy horror movies in my car with no heater with my girlfriend.

[JohnKleeb]

54. ahh damnit, I need a girlfriend

One of these days :D. I think I am actually gonna go to bed now.

[PittPoliSci]

56. me too.

i've got a damned house of representatives meeting tomorrow. and, as President of College Democrats and Assistant Coordinate of Amnesty International, I have to go, so that others don't have to suffer through the horribly boring proceedings that is campus politics.

g'night!

[WindRavenX]

60. 10 minutes??

WEAKLING!! Jeez- you go to Harvard...doncha have like a parka or something to keep you warm :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

33. Minus three fucks?... oops sorry no sex threads....

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

38. thats how many times Ive got fucked

:evilgrin:

[gfr4656]

45. hey, it started snowing again in chicago

and its very, very windy.
oh yeah...21f.

[njdemocrat106]

61. 7 degrees here in lovely New Jersey

Aren't you supposed to like drip the bathtub or something when it gets this cold in order to prevent your pipes from freezing? At least that's what my parents always told me.
