I cannot remember the last time it was this cold in Ohio. This sucksssss.

Global Warming? One of the coldest winters on record. 11 degees this morning at my house in Woostock Ga.

[yaris-me]

It's 6:45 am and 73F in Anaheim. Sorry.

Global warming exists. You have to look at the overall trend. This cold-snap is what you'd probably call "an outlier".

Anyhow... that's colder than Ottawa's been... we're only hitting -30C each night. :tongue:

[thebarber]

doc zaius is right

as for turning up the heat in the house? well, the mudroom area is above an unheathed cold room....so it always reads colder there....

but i set the house at 15C regularly....stays a bit warmer than that....but electric heat ain't cheap! bill last month was $360 for hydro

[nemelek]

I once skied at Alta Utah when it was -40f. It didn't matter what I wore that day, I froze and got a nip of frostbite on mt toes.

Yep, global warming does exist. It might be cold now, but wait until next week when temperatures are back up to -1C. I've only lived in Saint John for one and a half winters, but when it snows one day, then rains the next, it's a global warming thing.

Yeah, IMO, once it hits -20C, I can't really tell the difference anymore. It could be -40 or -20, I can't tell...all I know is that it's freggin' cold.

[thebarber]

once youre into the high -20's i notice a big diff....makes your throat feel scratchy when you breathe thru your mouth. everything is stiff....snow gets crunchier.....jacket gets hard/stiff....my beard freezes super quick (from my breath) and my ear lobes (which stick below my touque) get real cold real quick

[gid]

ouch , that's cold . Other theory is more clouds due to pollution could lead to colder temps. I think that's what I read . Just go with the flow :wink: .

[PreciousPups4U]

It was 18F on my porch at 6:45am this morning. That is really cold for here. Tonight they are calling for 8F. I have never seen it this cold here. I think they say it will break a 40 year record if it gets that cold tonight.

Of course I know it doesn't compare to those -20 and worse, but this is the South. We ain't suppose to have to deal with single digit temps!

Here in Italy we have a small cold period these days...

this morning I couldnt see over 30 metres, and the temperature never goes over 10°C.

[Crandall]

Pfffff stop complaining. I went out sun tanning :wink:

[bobselectric]

You guy are all a bunch of wimps, he says, while shoveling four feet of snow with his penis

[Doc Zaius]

Pfffff stop complaining. I went out sun tanning :wink:

Nice rims, dude. Just noticed your sig. When did you get those?

Irv: It's not so much the heat, it's the humidity that'll kill you.

[Crandall]

Nice rims, dude. Just noticed your sig. When did you get those?

I've had them for a little while now. Around the same time I got the cf lip and coil overs.

[thebarber]

pfft, crandall doesnt even drive his car in the winter....he thinks he's echo_hrs

Not ture I drive my car far more then he seems to. I also drove it yesterday to the gas station.

[Doug007]

Ouch! I have family and friends in Chicago and it's brutal. I feel a bit embarrased to report 65 degrees and sunny in California today (Saturday).

[toad]

wow! and i was complaining about delivering papers a couple nights ago when it was -10F.....(not sure of celcius conversion - sorry canadians!). the windchill put it around -20F! my route takes me out of my car(walking) for the majority and i looked pretty scary with my skimask and black overalls. how do people work outside up there in the 'great white north'?

[Black Yaris]

Hey I just realized -40 is the same in C as in F

[thebarber]

easily, you keep focusing on either a naked chick :biggrin: or a beach. but seriously you get used to the cold. i work outside for a living, constantly in and out of my truck you build up resistance. speaking of my truck , yesterday was so cold the engine couldn't warm up i had cold air blowing from my vents.
