OH MAN IT'S COLD!!

[nbp]

Thanks for the bump I started this thread because it's interesting to see the different kinds of cold we all deal with, and I hope people continue to add to it as we go through winter.

The cold from Alaska is getting closer, we will likely see -15F nights with wind chills around -25F later this week here in Milwaukee.


PS: does that sign say -62F ??? That's insane!
How do you keep cars running and pipes from freezing and the like? That makes -15 seem warm!

Its not super cold right now, just looked and it is 3 F. But the wind is making it feel much colder.

Funny though how it felt colder when it was warmer this weekend after sitting in an unheated hockey rink each day for about 5 hours.

I hate to throw a warm blanket on this thread but I'm suffering this afternoon (4pm Monday) with 80 degree weather, blue sky, and a warm breeze. I don't remember a January like this in my lifetime. Mustard is already sprouting and my peach tree is forcing buds. Robins flocked into town a week or so ago and the ants are out in full force staking out new colony sites. Anyone else experiencing extremely unusual weather?

Ok, no more comments from people from CA! :mecry:

Hehe. Just kidding. Keep it coming guys: your preferably frigid, or perhaps otherwise unusual weather occurences....

I recently moved from California's "60s and sunny" weather to Alaska. I was impressed by our recent spate of -20 degree temperatures, and was all set to brag until I saw AlaskaWolf's "The Fred Meyers signs says sixty two below" picture. I think I'll just keep quiet now.

It just goes to show that even when you're in Alaska, someone - somewhere - can outdo you.

Negative 62. Wow.

I got so cold today...wait no I didnt. I was outside working on my motorcycle and I got HOT! AZ is crazy...I need to go somewhere cooler. Firefox is saying its 68 out right now, and Tue & Wed are supposed to be 70!:nana: Anyone wanna come down to Phx? Better bring a windbreaker, you might get chilly at night.

Fairbanks has got to be one of the coldest places in the US. I saw it was like -30 to -40 for weeks. Nasty cold!

Best wishes to all you folks way up there. Hope Mayor Strle has recovered from her surgery in the fall.

You might make it all the way up to freezing this week. maybe...oo:

Not only did the -62F make me feel sorry for you, but I was suprised by how much the gas costs there. I thought with the big pipeline in your state you guys would get a break. Good luck with the winter up there. It was a balmy 21F here this evening.

 

[Moka]

Sorry, have to do this...
It got to 39°C today... (102°Fish for the Septics) LOL

 

[PCC]

Yeah, but you're "down under" so it's summer for you.

 

[Black Rose]

They are calling for a low of -31C/-24F this Friday here in Ottawa. Brrrr.

 

[nerdgineer]

I think yesterday's daytime high was 80 deg F (25 deg C). I had to put on the A/C in my car because it had been sitting in the sun at lunch...:ironic:.
