DAMMIT is it cold here

[no name no slogan]

It's about -15° out right now, and I live in a drafty, 100-year-old building.

I think I'm going to have to build a fire. Since I don't have a fireplace, I suppose I can kiss my damage deposit goodbye.

:scared:

1. Just remember to open a window

to let the smoke out-- don't want to die from smoke inhalation.:evilgrin:

(edit: cain't shpell :silly: )

10. Good point. I usually don't open windows until I toss the tire on

then you almost have to. ;)

2. When I was a young man in Montana,

I had a few days like that.

I hope you will be able to stay warm.

7. Thankfully it's supposed to warm up by Monday

Up into the teens or twenties. We've been really spoiled this year-- the avg temp in January was around 40° (normally it's around 20°) with one 50-degree day, and it's been unseasonably warm all winter.

At least I have a couple of cats to keep my feet warm. :D

3. Its cold here too. 61 degrees! BRRRRR!!`

When it drops below 65 degs here in San Diego ITS COLD!!!
I even have to wear a damn sweater tonight!

13. That's it, I'M MOVING

I'm getting too old for this kinda stuff.

[maveric]

20. I left Boston 26 years ago for that reason.

Came here in 1980 and never went back. Sure the cost of living and housing is sky high and you pay for the nice weather, but ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Trust me!

4. 6 degrees below zero here in Denver

I am digging it.

12. Damn, that subarctic for Denver

I always liked Denver because you get the snow but avoid the bitter cold. Maybe not tonight, though.

23. Since my last post

it's dropped two degrees to 8 below zero

17. sounds fun!!!

Sounds like you ladies are having a good time! :hi:

The funny thing is, my office was boiling today. I wore a heavy sweater and had to take it off because I was sweating.

Not to mention the wind. -30° windchill in town, worse out in the sticks. Yeeeouuuch. A good day to stay indoors.

6. No fucking shit

Since my water is paid for by the management co. maybe I'll just leave all my faucets cranked to hot.

[no name no slogan]

8. That's a good idea

I hadn't thought about that. Mine's paid too, maybe I should try it.

16. Any day where your nose insides freeze on inhalation

Should be a fucking day off. I'm wearing my pajamas, a sweater, wool socks and my robe. x( First time I had to park in a ramp this year.

[no name no slogan]

18. I've got a pair of wool socks warming on the heat register

and they will be on my feet shortly.

I almost took the bus downtown this morning. But 1/2 a block into my normal three-block walk changed that plan. I ate the $5 and parked instead. At least the car started.

19. If it's this cold tomorrow morning

I'm going to slow-roast a chicken at 550F for breakfast. :P

[no name no slogan]

28. I heard a "heatwave" is coming

up to 15° by Monday! Too bad I've got a vanfull of band gear to move tomorrow :(

[Redstone]

11. Minus 15? Yowsah, that IS cold. Got sleeping bags?

15. Got a down comforter, a couple stadium blankets and two cats

Unfortunately, I didn't put the plastic over the windows. It never got below zero in January so I didn't bother. Now I am paying the price, I suppose. Ah well, it's character-building, if nothing else. :D

21. What the fuck do you people live there for?

Of course, I ask myself this question in August, when it's been 100 degrees for a month straight...:evilgrin:

[jpgray]

22. Longest blue streak of any state!

We went for Mondale, bitches! Woo!

:patriot:

Honestly? I x-country ski for one, I love the people for two, and I like the city for three. Also college is cheap for me here.

[GOPisEvil]

24. I can't argue with any of that.

What the hell am I doing HERE again? Oh yeah, I've never driven in snow, I'd be a menace.

[jpgray]

25. You'd fit in well--at first snow everyone comes back from bad driver camp

:mad:

I know some great people from Texas, though. And you have the distinction of being one of them! How nice for you. :patriot:

[GOPisEvil]

26. Woohoo! It's my week!

A new job, and I'm on your list! :party:

One of my good friends is native Minnesotan. I don't think I've personally come across a Minnesotan I didn't like.

27. Also, the only state that got bluer in 2004 than 2000

And everything else jpgray said holds true. Plus we talk funny and eat hotdish. What's not to like?

north.
