Piece of cake! :eek: I remember walking in Brookpark[Suburb of Cleveland near where I was born] when I was visiting my G'mom about 10 years ago,,,,,,during my drinking days,it was ~ - 9F w/ 30 MPH winds! I did not feel a thing!


As I have said a few times -19F was the coldest I was ever in and I walked Capo about 30 minutes,that was in Lake Placid, N.Y. Not sure what the chill factor was. Not much of a breeze that morning.

Some people on here know this. regardless of weather w/ few exceptions I walk my Siberian 7 to 8 miles a day,today was just over 8.

Just got back from my hike. It was 5F w/ chill factor of -15. After awhile you get use to it,,,it is invigorating and refreshing with the right clothes and mindset! :D

Only a low tonight of -4 where I live! ~ 50 miles north in Jim Thorpe where my brother lives it is suppose to be -8F :caution:

Many years ago we had one night where the temp was around -15 with a wind chill of -50. A co-worker decided to go out and gas up his car. His face was exposed to the cold for 15 minutes and half of his faze froze and was paralyzed for a couple of weeks. He looked like he'd had a stroke. He made a full recovery but gosh.

-40 actual temperature or wind chill?!

Without wind chill. Wind chill was -58C (-72F!!!!!!!!!!) on one of those days! On the other 2, it was still close enough to that to say I want to go back in time and kill the idiots who didn't turn back towards the Carribean when those balls fell off the brass monkey.



(Little know historical fact: cannon balls had to be piled up in a pyramid on the deck's floor near the cannons, so someone invented what was called a brass monkey, which had the imprint of the balls from the bottom row, to keep them in place. Cannon balls, made of iron, did not contract as much as the brass monkey, yes made of brass, so when it got real cold the imprint did not match the spacing of the balls, so they fell off the brass monkey - IMO only idiots with suicidal tendencies kept going in such conditions.)



Had to plow my own parking spot by hand when I got home tonight -still cold as a frozen over hell and extra windy with a peppermint sting to it. I can't tell if the wind blew the snow in or they just skipped my spot, but I wasn't in a good mood at all. Now I have to go see a client 3 hours away tomorrow and the forecast is down from 1.5 inches (we got nearly 4-6 inches) to half an inch (suuuuuuuuure!). Not in a good mood at all. February hates me too and I can't hit back :mecry:

You need a block heater on your car!!!

I can't even picture -40F. -15F or so is about as cold as we typically get in an arctic blast, like right now. Last night was about -12. You know you're nuts when you start saying things like "oh, I'll head out later this morning when it warms up to 0F, that's not so bad." Haha

That is the record for the State I live in! A link called US extremes where it lists the ALL TIME record highs and lows of each State!


When I first looked at this a few years ago I was a little surprised that Pennsylvania's record LOW was 6 to 10 degrees lower than Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio[where I was born], and Massachusetts.

Where I was born and have family!

Cleveland recorded its lowest temperature on record in February, minus-17, and the lowest on any day there since 1994. :eek:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Where I have lived for 50 years[Suburbs of Philly] :cool:

Philadelphia, Washington and Lexington, Kentucky, had their coldest morning in two decades.

The low last night in my little town was -3F.
 
-32°F near Grayling, MI this morning where I often hunt and camp. That's messed up.

I'm heading up a little further than that to a place near Gaylord, MI next weekend to meet some fellow backpackers to spend a long weekend. Only getting down to -5° on the coldest night, thankfully :)
 
-3 here in my neck of the Hudson Valley, NY this morning. Supposed to be in the low 40's on Sunday. My son goes to school up in Buffalo. We got him an outdoor thermometer for his apartment window, suction cup so you can see and read it from inside. Goes down to -16, was bottomed out this morning with an error code stating "too low"... Wind chill was -38 according to accuweather.
 
-17 here at 6am, broke a record for this day and was just a few degrees short of an all time record low. It got up to a steamy +11 by mid afternoon.
 
DFW metromess expected to have 1-2" of sleet accumulation overnight - not looking forward to the Monday commute. Skip work, you say? Since I theoretically support critical communications infrastructure, I am not afforded the luxury. For a guy that lives in the sunbelt I have an unreasonable amount of experience driving on icy roads.
 
Roads were remarkably less tragic than usual for a DFW ice storm. Thankfully no horrific "cobblestone ice" on overpasses. Didn't spin the wheels or drift any corners on the way in to work ... might do some gratuitous E-brake turns on the way home, however.
 
The worst we had here this winter really was there was an ice storm and black ice issue one Sunday morning and the weather people totally dropped the ball and didn't warn anyone. The road crews didn't salt at all and it wasn't until people started out doing their Sunday morning plans that problems happend and there were a couple major 50 car pile ups on the local highways early that morning before anyone knew it was that bad. Thing is. If it's icy out and you see it don't get on the highways thinking that the roadway has been salted or maintained. 3 people died that Sunday in those separate pole up accidents.
