12 here Thursday.

It's 8pm & it's 19 with the wind chill here. We got the ice & sleet too. In fact, we still have it. It's never going to melt at this rate. Very slippery, we just throw handfuls of salt in front of us to walk. I really hate this bitter cold, it makes my joints hurt & I get no sympathy from the kids. The cold snap is a few weeks early this year, I hope it leaves early too. My forecast is no better than yours. At least when we complain to each other, we can really commiserate. We know, we live it. Check out Weatherbug, my zip is 21502.

Hi! it's gonna get in the 20's here
in S.E.Ga. thats pretty cold for us!
Hope you all going to extreme cold
stay warm and safe that some nasty
weather!Thinking of you all with
warm wishes!
Susan

I feel so sorry for all of you. Cold enough here to make me feel sorry for myself, lol. If its below 50 I want to hibernate and in the 20's I go dormant, lol. Below that you might not hear from me again til spring, lol.

Gonna be around 48-50 here for the next few days so I'm going outside to tidy up the yard.

My DIL is outside of Chicago, so I hear about cold...brrrr

knotz

It's getting colder by the day and we're supposed to be near record cold by the end of the week. Right now it's in the 20's. For the sake of a few million people I hope it warms up by next week!

Yup, me too! high of 19 on Friday,day temps. Night temp on Wed. night, 6!
Glad the Philadelphia Eagles are playing football in Arizona!
Shawn, are you a Steelers fan?

Theresa

-4.9 without wind chill. Yes Karyn they are calling for record cold here too. Gotta love the north and the east coast....Brrr

It dropped from the 70's last week into the low 40's daytimes and now into the 20's at night. Way too cold to suit me. LOL

The cold weather is making its way to South Florida, as well. Going down into the low 50s tonight, and the low 40's as the week progresses. Okay, okay... I know... but we are not accustomed to that here, especially with the mild winter we have been having. And I, for one, am a wimp. I'm going to have to fire up the patio heater to go out and smoke a cigar.

Bob

Hey Susan...We're Steelers fans!!!...Don't care who we play in the Superbowl, but gotta get past those Ravens first.

When we played the Seahawks in Superbowl 40, we even made it on the front page of our local paper since we're right here in the middle of Seahawk country...lol

Yah Shawn...You a Steelers fan????

knotz :)

Gonna be 25 here on Wed. I think. Gotta wrap all the pods, Then cover the whole plants. Man this s*cks! This is really a crazy winter. It has been downright balmy the last 3 weeks. I feel bad for everyone with the ice storms, power outages, and subzero temps. Hope you all stay warm and safe!

Lynette I hope your plants survive. The weather is getting weirder by the year. Where in FL are you? I remember when we took the kids to Disney for the Millenium celebration and it was only in the 20's! I know the Orlando area can get chilly but we weren't prepared for those temps. We cut our Disney trip a couple days short and headed to Key West. lol

It is cold here too, tonight it`s supposed to be 12 and keep going down each night from there Thursday night it`s
supposed to be 1 degree, Burrrrr!!!
Everyone keep warm.

Karen

I was looking forward to the 40s today. It only got to 34. We intended to replace the furnace this summer but it didn't happen. The oil tank is empty because we were going to move it. I have been heating the house & the porch with 1 kerosene, 3 oil-filled & 2 reg. electric heaters. I had another kerosene until yesterday when DH was changing the wick & it broke (or he broke it). That leaves me with the backup that smokes (I have asthma). I am watching one on ebay that DH can pick up on his way home Friday if I win (fingers crossed). Sorry to complain but I really hate winter.

Linda

karyn, I'm in Clay County..SW of Jax. on the St.John's river. It freezes here every now and again but has been so nice lately. I found some thin flexible foam-like sheets to cut into stips to wrap the pods and thier stems with. I think I will bribe the kids to help me..that's the only way they will lol.

It will get close to freezing tonight so now I need to grab the baby passies, nanners and brug babies off the tables outside and bring them into the patio... grrr

Theresa and knotz, where I am from you have to be a Steelers fan, lol, so yes. Linda I hope you can get your tank moved and filled soon! We used to supplement with a kerosene heater to keep the furnace from running but I think kerosene is more expensive than oil now anyways. We got a wood burner a few years ago and it helps to keep the furnace from running when we burn that. Sometimes the living room where the wood burner is gets so hot that we crack a few windows, even with the freezing temps outside. I liked it better when we had one in the basement, it kept the floors nice and warm and didn't make the living room uncomfortable. It is nice to watch the fire though.

We have a wood stove too. It isn't hooked up either. son-in-law who works in HVAC was supposed to come & help DH last year. He is busy (& keeps forgetting us since we are 2 1/2 hours away) & works for himself most weekends when he is off. Our free job can't compete with the thousands he can make instead so we keep getting put off. It's actually not too bad in here if I run all the electric heaters & 2 keros, expensive but no choice. Guess what we will be buying when DH gets home Friday???

Linda

IT'S WINTER!!!!!
Yep Cold!! Gonna be a 3 dog night...

It was -7 with the wind chill last night. It was also a 7 cat night. They are like sleeping with fuzzy, purring heating pads except for their tiffs over the good spots. LOL

Linda

18 tonight & 8 tomorrow night! Brrrrrr! WHERE is Spring??

Mike

It hink the weather man just said it could feel like -30 tomorrow night with the wind chill. I hope I heard him wrong!

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS we are cold up here. Shawn, I don't think you heard wrong. It is -19 here right now and supposed to get even colder. On a positive note Friday it is supposed to get into the 30's. I might just get a tan!

I hope everyone is staying safe while we are experiencing these cold temperatures.

~Tj~

Elizabeth

Dorothy

I am blessed with no work today, but got up early to put wood in the stove. As I came downstairs, the front room was wall to wall people !! Husband on one couch, son in law on the other, two daughters on the floor, and in between them is the 6 year old grand daughter. The temp inside said 74, so not too bad at all-... I turned on the TV, and the local news said it was -19 degrees outside, with a -39 degree wind chill.. We have about 15 inches or more of snow that has fallen over the last 3 days, mostly from lake effect snows from Lake Michigan, and the roads are thick sheets of ice. It has been too cold for the road salt to work. They have closed the local schools, which hardly ever happens, and quite a few other places too. The high today MAY reach 3 degrees. The last time it was this cold was in 1972... We may not see the 30's untill more than a week from now.
Spring seems so far away, maybe it will come early this year, it's real hard to believe it will when it's this brutal outside.
Stay warm , and safe...
Sandra

I will NOT complain about our cold front after reading my friends have to go through THAT MESS!

I just want this thread and the weather to go away and come back warm and happy!

Lucy

It is -8 with the wind chill now. I will complain anyway, it's still too cold!

Linda

it was 10 degrees F here last night and just 18 here right now. can't wait till spring.

Shawn
I sure hope you're staying warm, I don't remember it being
this cold in a long time, the actual temp this morning, not
the wind chill, it was 5 below zero, it's not suppose to warm up till wednesday or thursday,
