[Maine Mary]

for the next few days. :-(

Northeasterners familiar w/Mt Washington... the news said this morning that it's -40 there with sustained wind gusts of 75mph giving it a wind chill factor of -100.

1. Haven't seen you in a while!

I don't envy you. At least in the summer you get up to a tropical 32!

[MercutioATC]

2. Mary, leave Maine!

Hell, it's even better here in Ohio.

Of course, my home 12 years from now (Costa Rica) is even warmer......

[hobbes159]

3. It's a lovely -1 here in Massachusetts....

-20 to -25 wind chill...

I'm leaving for Iowa Friday -- much warmer there! :-)

4. No kidding, my cat only lasted 15 minutes out there

And he's one tough mofo!

5. Mt. Washington - worst recorded weather on earth

I used to climb Mt. Washington and ski Tuckerman's Ravine every Spring(not in January!).

Mary - come to your senses and Colorado. Today in Denver I hit golf balls in 63-degree heat. After seeing the Rockies 33 years ago, I never looked back. Visit Vermont & NH in September, yes, but live there, no. In the winter of 1968, I spent 30 consecutive days in Middlebury, Vermont when the highest recorded temp. was one degree above zero. 'Nuff said.

6. Middlebury is a nice area

Too bad about all those rich kids though :evilgrin:

[Bundbuster]

7. DSI - it's you again!

It was too bad - I was a poor scholarship kid at Midd. College surrounded by mostly silver-spoon snobs. Fortunately, one can always find a few good souls, and it turned out to be a great 4 years, complete with superb fishing, hiking, skiing, even a little learning.

[DS1]

8. yep, it's me again

-lurking-

and uhh, that's a 1 :7

Setting all kinds of records here. It SUCKS!!!

I can't ever remember this much brutally cold weather in one winter.

Stay warm, Mary!

[curse10]

19. I'm freezing my ass off!

It's cold everywhere! Even inside! The law library was too much to take, I had to leave before I could finish my reading.

[LynneSin]

11. You need to find a warmer state!!!

I mean, it's cold in Delaware but geez, at least it's tolerable!

[GOPisEvil]

12. 60 and foggy here!

Rain expected! We need it! :D

:hi::*

[Raven]

13. Oh Mary! Ouch!

It's -12 here too but no wind this morning. That is really helping.

[MaineDem]

14. It's freakin' balmy here thismorning

It was only -19 when I got up. Better than the -23 the other morning.

The high today is expected to get all the way up to -5!!!

There's no way my car will start! Brrrrrrrr :scared:

Now, about that bill to require paper backups to electronic voting - Hannah's bill. I couldn't make the hearing yesterday but it sounds like a good thing.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. Dear Maine residents:

Minnesotans
