We could not function up north.

The world down here's goes to shit when it snows.

Precipitation has been minimal but the cold north wind blows...

Winter is coming.

In the LaFleur thread I referred to French Canadians being tough. I have walked through the streets in Quebec in January at -20 and have seen (many) people walking with jacket open, and just sweaters underneath.

I was oot and aboot the other day when it was 10 below. The sky was clear with no wind to speak of. I felt no need to zip my poofy jacket. Pockets were all I needed to protect my hands. Had it been 40 above, damp and windy I'd have been miserable.

Tomorrow is forecast to be 18 above with intermittent snow and a bit of wind. It's the annual Art Sled exhibition/celebration in the park across the street. A bit kinky, but I'll be there with zipped up jacket, gloves and rabbit fur lined hat.

Bring it on!!!

It just doesn't stop! PLUS...temps are to be falling thru the day!!!

Roads in Michiana are haradous. Many side roads are drifted over many feet. All the snow we have been getting is dry and powdery and perfect for blowing and drifting conditions. Plow drivers have gotten stuck/slid off road. They have said that approximately 30 minutes after plowing, you can't tell they were there!

Radio announcer this morning: "If you go to a school in the area, its closed. That's easier than reading the list"

Yup just like 3 Mondays ago. St Joe county is having that state of emergency warning again starting at 7pm tonight . It took me and hour to get work this morning when its normally a 25 min drive. This has been one heck of a winter so far. Only 2 more months to go!

Dude, screw accounting, become a teacher! Sure, you get shit for pay and you have to deal with insane parents, but tomorrow will be my 7th day off in January due to weather (8 including MLK Day)!

Anybody got any on-line business ideas?

Driving restrictions start at 7, I believe

Going to suck when June gets here though and you all are making those days up.

We're up to 7 here in Indy! Temps are supposed to start dropping any moment. Last night the idiotic cat wanted to go out to go potty at 3:00AM. As he walked out the door, he looked back and said, Wait here, this won't take long."

With a heavy heart, I have to say this prolonged cold weather has taken a heavy toll here in town :

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BNsz8fkP3Nw?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

When all is said and done the primary cause for the fire, and hampering effects from the weather will be main contributors to this loss of life. The residents were all safe, however.

Last night a procession of well over a hundred official vehicles, and nearly as many personal vehicles formed a procession as the ambulances transported the fallen firemen from St Vincent's Mercy Medical Center, to the Coroners Office. An arch formed by hundreds of Policemen, Firemen, EMTs and civilians that braved the weather, formed from the back of the ambulances to the doors of the Coroners Office.

The fire broke out in a building first constructed in 1872, that was located a couple of blocks from where Jamie Farr(ah) Corporal Klinger grew up.

These were the first on the scene firefighter deaths in Toledo since 1981.

I was listening to it on a live feed it was bone chilling to hear a mayday. It is buy far the worst thing to deal with other then any child related call. RIP!!!

Please pray for their families.

Bro... I'm terrified of children. LOL They would chew me up and spit me back out.

 

[MNIrishman]

Seems like the whole country's gone wimpy. It ain't that cold.

 

[NDohio]

Looking forward to watching South Carolinians completely freak out on Wednesday when we get 2-4" of snow. Actually, they are already freaking out.

I'm having to take my dog out on the leash because he keeps pissing on the damn deck. He won't go out any further in this cold.

We can't all look this good, bruh.

'Tis colder than a mug for normal people.

 

[wizards8507]

I'd trade with any one of you northerners right now. Not joking. "Oppressive humidity" has no business in January whatsoever.

 

[MNIrishman]

-50 degree windchill here. Just got back from a walk. Brisk but refreshing. Though this is colder than ideal, it's definitely a lot better than temperatures above 80 degrees with humidity. I feel for you Wizards. I think summer is the worst season ever. Can't escape that with more layers. You just have to suffer.

Its cold enough to freeze your Winnebago

It's not the heat (or the cold) but the humidity. Well, the wind does play a role.

My theory (bullshit or otherwise) since moving from Miami to Minneapolis is that one can deal with cold by adding layers of clothing. Dealing with heat and humidity is a different beast. When you're nekkid and sweating, you're screwed.

36 (Above) and mostly sunny today here in Anchorage. Heck, it's 12 above in Fairbanks. If you live somewhere that's colder than Fairbanks in January, that's brutal. Please continue to enjoy Alaska's weather for awhile longer. I don't ever remember a January this mild. It'll catch up with us eventually. Be safe.

I'm in flip flops today. Tomorrow will be below freezing.

 

[chicago51]

I stayed in today (classes canceled) and will be tomorrow as well. I intern at a center for individuals with developemental dissablities on Tuesday but I just got a call that they close the center. I need so many hours so I'll have to work over Spring break to make up those hours unfortunately.

The warmer weather up in the artic is what is causing this brutal weather in midwest and central plain areas. The warmer artic air has essentially made the jet stream drunk causing it to sag allowing the artic air to slip much further South than usual.

Supposed to be around -10 degrees before wind chill tomorrow when I'll be walking to class. The joy!
