Damn it's cold in the Deep South.

[Maddy McCall]

It's 68 degrees where I live in south Mississippi. I bet it gets down into the 50s tonight.

Better get my electric blanket out.

[johnnie]

1. Lol

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Maddy McCall]

Honey, it gets down to the 40s, and I bring out the long johns.

We ain't used to this cold stuff down here. :D

Usually, it's still in the eighties and nineties this time of year.

[johnnie]

11. Take a trip up here

You haven't experienced life until your nostrils freeze together after a deep breath.

[Maddy McCall]

14. Gross!

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

2. It was forty-freaking-eight degrees here this morning.

I still wore a t-shirt and shorts into the gym. :P

When I went out later, it was in the 50s, but I put a sweatshirt on over my t-shirt and shorts. :D

[Maddy McCall]

5. If you got sweaty and cold, you may get sick.

I'd stock up on the chicken broth, if I were you. ;-)

[GOPisEvil]

10. Nah...I went right into my warm car.

From there, right into the house.

But, I do keep emergency cans of chicken noodle soup on standby. :D

[Fox Mulder]

3. That's cold for you???

We're in a freeze advisory tonight here in MN!

I won't be suprised if it made it to the mid-20's for a low tonight!

[Maddy McCall]

6. It's cold.

Very cold for here at this time of year. Wind's whippin' around, and the lights are on, if you know what I mean. ;-)

[djeseru]

15. 54 degrees is coat-wearing weather down here.

And I just got a sunburn yesterday too - what happened?! I'm just glad there's no freeze advisory...stay warm up there!

[Fox Mulder]

20. I'll try...

and I'm going to really try not to turn on the furnace tonight!

[djeseru]

30. No kidding, I'm trying to stay away from the heater.

*laugh* They said it was supposed to be back in the 80's tomorrow.

BTW, it's nice to meet another X-Files fan! I think they're in pre-production of the next film...

[Fox Mulder]

31. Really?

There's going to be a new X-Files movie?

Sweet!

[djeseru]

33. Duchovny-Carter script...

...supposedly a "creature-feature" with no mythology. Still wondering how they're going to pull it off. :shrug:

...but I'm not complaining. =)

[evlbstrd]

4. 50s in the Midwest.

Frost warning for tonight.
I will not turn on the furnace.
I will not turn on the furnace.
I will not turn on the furnace.
I will not turn on the furnace.
I will not turn on the furnace.
I will not turn on the furnace.
I will not turn on the furnace.

[Maddy McCall]

7. I have propane heaters...better call the propane guy tonight...

make sure I have gas, should the temps dip into the fifties. :D

[evlbstrd]

12. Natural gas here.

With hot water heat in a 100 year old house. I'm buying more sweaters.

[johnnie]

8. The way gas is going up

It will be cheaper to defrost my dead ass than to pay the bill.

[Maddy McCall]

9. LOLOLOL!

HAHAHAHA! :rofl:

[evlbstrd]

13. They'll leave you for the spring thaw.

Which, given recent weather trends, should be sometime in February.

[WCGreen]

32. I'm wrapping my California Ranch in

Plastic next weekend....

[In_The_Wind]

16. Brrrrrr

[Maddy McCall]

23. LOL!

No snow, yet, but, as cold as it is, I can tell it's coming. :D

[southlandshari]

17. Whwhwhwhat ddddid you ssssasay?

Brrrrrrrrrr! Shivering so hard I can hardly talk! It's cold AND wet here.

I don't have any idea what the temperature is - probably upper 50's, maybe 60 at most here. Yes, yes, I know anyone north of central Alabama and central Mississippi will think we are nuts for this thread if they check our weather, but I hear you, sista!

Where are my GRITS tonight? Let's huddle together to keep warm!

:grouphug:

[Maddy McCall]

19. I am so glad that we don't have any rain.

I wouldn't leave the house if it were raining.

This GRIT is headed to the firehouse to get the place ready for the pancake breakfast tomorrow morn. The Rotary Club uses the firehouse...and they always leave a freakin mess.

So, today I clean, and tomorrow I clean. :D

[GOPisEvil]

25. It's 55 and raining here!!!

Glad for the rain, but that takes 10 degrees off the temperature. :scared:

[Maddy McCall]

27. God help us, I hope it doesn't rain here.

Gotta go check the forecast, now.

[Pithlet]

18. I can't believe how quickly I became such a wuss about the cold

After I moved to Tennessee. I think it only took a year or two. I took a trip to Chicago a couple of years ago for Christmas and bundled up and froze my little butt off. And I'm from Michigan! I don't know if I can ever move back North.

[Maddy McCall]

22. We shut everything down, down here, when we get frozen precipitation.

Snow, sleet, hail...it's time to close the highways and put everyone under curfew. :D

[Pithlet]

26. Yep

Same here. I actually don't mind that because I've always hated driving in ice. And you get ice here a lot more often than snow. No one knows how to drive in inclement weather around here, and I think they have something like two plows and salt trucks for the entire city, so shutting everything down is fine by me :)

[hatredisnotavalue]

21. It's been in the high seventies maybe eighties here in Maine this week

What is going on with the weather? We just barely get a dusting of snow by Christmas with the most snow in March now. Peak foliage used to be the third weekend in September, still haven't seen it yet.

[Maddy McCall]

24. That's weird.

It's colder here than there.

[hatredisnotavalue]

29. And it's muggy

Just got the winter's wood in today. Full tank of fuel. Winter wear ready to go and we've got all of the windows open trying to catch a breeze.

[unsavedtrash]

28. 62 in Tuscaloosa and no football this weekend. :(
