Okay I've had it..

[nickspohn]

Those of you who are also in Chicago, I feel your pain.

And keep in mind 6 months from now this city can get to 103F+. A great place to live if you are into the whole "season scene".

To get an idea of what it feels like, the inside of your nose starts to freeze within seconds, and if you spit on your car it pretty much freezes within 10 seconds. (I did it twice)

[dukebound85]

lol we had a freaky week in the neg teens a while back

sucked

[Rayfire]

Try to stay warm out there ;)

[TheMonarch]

I feel your pain, its currently 51F... Thats like jacket weather! :D

j/k :p I'm sorry.

As someone who's never lived outside the Bay Area, I've alway wondered: Do your water pipes freeze in that kind of weather? if so, what then? :confused: [Sorry if this sounds silly, I'm just curious]

yes, you have to blow them out before winter (concerning sprinkling systems, hoses, etc)

YUK! i HATE cold weather.

im so lucky that i live in a good spot..

went for a holiday to Sydney for 2 weeks, had 3 days in a row of 43°C temerature (109°F), wouldnt that be nice :p

very nice here thought chilling on about 30°C (86°F).

[Stampyhead]

Psh, -10, that's nothing. I remember when I used to live in Quebec City and the temperature would get down near -40. Now that was cold...

[dukebound85]

helps its summer there lol

its quite warm for us at the moment (well highs that is)

ahhhhh 50's....will be shorts and tshirt weather for sure!

[Dagless]

Wow, it's never dropped below -10 celcius here! And this is in England!

[sammy2066]

I hear ya .. I'll be flying into Chicago in 4 days. It's not gonna be pretty. Especially after being in Mumbai where it was a pleasant 80F everyday!

[brad.c]

It's -18°C (-29°C with wind) here in Toronto, and a chunk of the city is without power due to a broken watermain flooding a substation. I'm fine, but that situation worries me since my house has no power-independent heating system.

Ironically, the polar bear exhibit at the zoo is closed until July.

EDT: It warmed up!

[yg17]

I'm sick of this....

[Cabbit]

Lol get over your wee bit of cold its nought. Come to Scotland we'll show you a all year round winter with nice gale force winds with ice rain bullets just for the extra bit of fun.

Aye, but a Scottish winter is nothing a pot of parritch cannae fix, ye kent?

[keysersoze]

Unacceptable.

[apsterling]

It's 52 farhenheit here in Scottsdale, and should get up to 75 farhenheit.

[BlackSnow]

I love cold weather! It's -11 F here and the wind chill -25. So it's a good day.

[ejb190]

It has been brutally cold here as well. I'm about two hours SE of Chicago.
Here is this morning's forecast in C and F for your convenience. That is Rochester, Indiana. It was only supposed to be -14 F last night! The Wind chills are in the -30 to -40 F range. The only good thing is this might kill back some of the bag worm out of my spruce tree!

[comictimes]

Yea I've got to say I'm not looking forward to walking to class... it's not quite as cold here as some places, but 3ºF, feels like -12º is still pretty cold, especially for a kid from the Bay Area!

[macdim]

Give me a break. It's -28 Celsius here without taking wind into consideration. It was a cool -39 Celsius this morning with wind chill. That's -38 Fahrenheit.

[iJesus]

Ouch... it is pretty cold where you guys are.

[Melrose]

Geez louise I thought it was cold here when I got up...

[No1451]

Another from Ottawa, bloody cold today isn't it? I managed to drive from Gloucester Centre out to Woodroffe/Baseline and my car STILL hadn't warmed up to a comfortable level this morning:).


How many people here who posts temps are C/F?

[nickspohn]

Yeah but see, how often does Canada get over 100F? :)

This ain't nothing for you guys who are used to this, but for Chicago, this is insanity :eek:


It is -20F at the time of this post.

I managed to drive from my home in the east end to Blair and realized that it was impossible to make it to the university on time because Ottawans really don't know how to drive in weather this cold (black ice). Turned around and went home. Not worth it for one class! Luckily my car was warm the whole time... LOVE the remote starter!

It is -20F at the time of this post. Over 37.7 degrees Celsius? Not too often on it's own, but add in the humidity factor and here in Toronto that probably happens at least a few times each summer.

Currently it's -14°C (7°F) with windchill thats -26°C (-15°F) at the Toronto Island airport.... at least it's better than yesterday!

[Abstract]

They meant in Fahrenheit. Damn people and their archaic units.....

Same thing in Ottawa. Humidity kills us in the summer. We have so much water around here that humidity brings the temperature above 40 C (104 F). We really do get the entire range of temperatures!

The cold sucks, but skating ~14KM on the rideau canal on a mild day is an amazing experience, not to mention hockey rinks everywhere.
Also, cottages in the summer!

[Raid]

They meant in Fahrenheit. Damn people and their archaic units..... Agreed, can we do away with Fahrenheit finally please? I Celsius is great, water boils at 100°C and freezes at 0°C (at standard pressure). Why the steadfast adherence to a confusing system of measurements? ;)

[No1451]

Yeah, in the summer we have hit mid thirties, we were over 40 at one point a few years back. Its not DRY heat the kills me, its the humidity.

The only thing I like about temperatures the fluctuate between 30 above and 30 below is that once spring comes around, 0 is going to feel like sex, and everyone is gonna be like "GET OUT THE SHORTS, LETS ROCK IT".

BTW, Celsius ftw.

[Josh396]

You've had it? I can't wait to get back to it. :p I've been studying in London for the past two weeks and I've had people telling me how cold it's been here. The coldest I remember it being was about 25°F, with it being about 30-35 on average. I've had an absolute blast here, but I can't wait to get back to the freezing cold and snow.

[sikkinixx]

Supposed to be a nice 8 degrees Celsius here in Vancouver today. We had our 3 1/2 week long winter last month *grumbles* Why do people wanna live on the east coast again? The weather is always extreme it seems...

[leekohler]

It took me an hour and a half to get to work today. Most of it was spent in -17 F temps waiting on the damn blue line platform. I couldn't feel my feet. I was afraid I was going to miss a client meeting. Thank god they were late too! They just got here and have so much on their plate that we may push the presentation back a week.

[EV0LUTION]

HA Florida FTW! (this is the first really cold week of the season :cool:)

Now if you will excuse me I'm going to the beach.
