Brrr.... lucky the car started, because I forgot to plug it in.

Wow, you are really getting the winter this year. We aren't and we usually do. You're so lucky. Stay warm and no outdoor barefoot running, okay.

It is cold over here too. Not quite that cold, but cold. It is the darned high pressure system cold with no snow too. I would love it if La Nina would shift the jet back over and turn on the tap again.

supposedly, the spicket is gonna be thrown wide open for Chicago today, possibly breaking all records. There's been so much hype, like nothing I've experienced in all my years as a snow belt resident. We had a 2" dusting overnight, now calm and a Blizzard warning officially kicks in at 3 this afternoon. Last night the early news had hundreds of cancellations listed and snow was not even falling, and wasn't expected for nearly 24 hours. I went to the grocery store with my girlfriend, and racks were empty, produce pretty much cleaned out, no bottled water....it was what I imagine in hurricane zones!
Sadly, being in Chicago, there's not much to do, even when the snow flies. Lots of labor, the city is more beautiful for a couple of days, and that's it. To top it off, we'll be below zero, Fahrenheit, on Wednesday.

Every time I think extreme cold I think of the book "The Left Hand of Darkness". In it, there is the tale of a trek across the local Antartica. Two characters (I think) travel on iced-up continent for days and days, a fasinating read...
Other: What's with thing about bottled water, are people afraid municipal water with get turned off?
Edit: Spelling errors... cold hands in the spare room where computer is right now..!

I wish I had some of that cold here. It's going to be around 40c every day this week and last night I measured 31c (88f) in my bedroom at midnight. I hate summer so much....

You can keep that cold %$&* up there, thanks!
We'll be in the mid 20's the next few nights, which means pipe breaking panic around here.
Sadly, poorer people in old houses that aren't insulated well will be using any method of heat, which means fire and tragic losses. There are some parts of firefighting I don't miss...

I remember when I lived in Mississippi as a kid, the poorer houses often didn't have glass in the windows, and just plastic covered them. The walls also only had paper on the inside. Those houses are going to be cold. Yet I don't think the people will suffer. They will probably go sit in the Cadillac that's parked in the driveway and run the heater. I know it sounds like I'm stereotyping, but it's true. I seen it with my own peepers.Originally Posted by Tig

It's not THAT cold here, but I find it rather amusing that we have the same high temperature today as Dallas-Forth Worth. The ironic thing is that when they last had the Super Bowl in Detroit they had to make snow so that it would appear all nice and wintery.

I sure ain't seen it all, but I've seen close to it. <- I think I just wrote a lyric line! So yes, I believe you, Spud.
I've made fire and EMS runs in the meanest neighborhoods in tha' hood, at the wrong time of night, as well as the nastiest trailers and crack houses. Not much surprises me anymore!
