To all of our CAP friends. I hope you all stay warm during this COLD snap.
I received an email this morning stating that many schools had closed due to temps at or near -20 in Minnesota. :o
Don't forget to keep your pets inside. :angel: If you warm up your car don't turn your defrost temp to high you will crack your windshield. Keep it in the middle to cool.
Just remember that all your friends down here in Florida are cold too. 42 here this morning, but not as cold as you. >:D.
-28 with the wind chill here in Milwaukee. Makes me sooooo happy that I work outside...
last night when I went to bed we had a wind chill of -40 the tv news is now showing pictures of a guy throwing boiling water into the air, and it froze before it hit the ground.
update -22 with out windchill
It it pretty cold. :P
I guess I'll just turn up the heat here in my office.... >:D

Too cold to go to work......no matter what part of the Northeast you live in. It is only supposed to get colder this afternoon and tomorrow.
Take tomorrow off too

That is God's subtle way of telling you something: MOVE. :D
It is cold, though. I had to put a jacket on last night - got all the way down to 55 after dinner! >:D
We should see 8 F on the lake before wind chill tonight and this is Oklahoma.

That's a very popular photo from the Antarctic stations that show guys doing that. Something about the water going straight from liquid to a vapor.. submlimation .. something..
/me wishes he'd paid a little closer attention in science class

Yes, that's it! You get a star on your forehead. :clap: Sometimes you remember in spite of everything else. ;D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_(chemistry) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_(chemistry))

It was -33 air temp with -53 windchill this morning. It was so cold that the heater in my car made no heat so I didn't have to worry about cracking!! Interestingly enough- school was on time in Fargo this morning- now that's hardcore.
It's 77 here right now, supposed to get to 85 >:D
I just checked where I used to live in Illinois and it is -12 with a -35 wind chill. (1400 hours central time).
Chicago has had more days of continuos snow than in the past 120 years.
Flint Michigan broke a 94 year record for the cold.....
Boy...how bout that global warming >:D
When I left my office right on the Chicago Lake Shore Tuesday night, the LCD on my GPS was frozen...

YES!......watch those electronics everyone, some only will allow temps of -10! TomTom GPS from three years ago says -5 degrees!!
Keep your batteries warm and close to your bodies...
Typical Fairbanks, AK temperatures range in the minus-mid-forties. While I'm here training in Oklahoma, my wife sent me a photo of a gas station back home: -62 degrees and gas was $2.42 for regular.
Bundle up, that's the most sympathy I can give! :D
Good luck and good hunting,

It was 81 here in Sunny Sandy Eggo when I left work at 1400. I had to turn the 'Burb AC on to cool off when I drove. It was parked in the sun w/o the windshield shades. Sux to be me! 8)
I would tend to agree ... to each is own, I'd never want to live in SoCal! I can't deal with the traffic. Isn't it great how people graviate towards what's good TO them?

Do you have a guest room?
I really, Really, REALLY want a desk job right now.
-22F in Portland Maine yesterday morning when I left for work! This morning it was -8. This Global Warming is killing me!
-2 and I am about to head out and fly... Gotta punch a few more blocks on my SQTR...
Up north? Who cares about those guys...I had to put long pants on today.

huh....that must be miserable >:D
I can't wait until three months from now when the temps start climbing back toward those lows you have.
Bite me Stonewall ;D
It's been so cold here lately, I went out and bought an Expedition - That otta blow enough CO2 into the old atmosphere to warm things up! ;D

It's been getting below zero past couple days and the local banks and business that offer the temp on their electronic signs are even off, I know the cheap gauge we have on the shop won't work so many degrees under zero even though it supposedly shows up to -50 (or is it -60?)
All I know is that its frigid out and even in the kitchen where it's warm my feet are frozen.
It's cooled a bit here, down to 80...but supposed to warm up on Monday to 83. The a cold wave hits mid week with temps down to the low 70's, maybe down to the upper 60's next weekend.
Time to bring out the thermals ;D
