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.

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..

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

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

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?
