It got down to -4F Friday & Saturday nights. The high Sat. was +5F with wind-chills in the -20's, Sun. +14F. Today it hit +32F. It's been nice and sunny, so it wasn't all that bad the past few days. It finally clouded up and started snowing a little about 4pm today. Thus far we've got about 1.5 inches of fluffy snow!

It's so cold that people are listening to Bernanke just for the hot air.

My gosh! Where are you? Alaska? Siberia?
In temps like that I'd be in arctic snow gear. If I survived.

Was in the low single digits for the past few days here in Michigan, but right now it's a relatively balmy +28 F. Started snowing this morning...I cleared the driveway of about 3" earlier this morning as I thought the snow was over. Bah! We've gotten another couple of inches since. (With each passing year, I find my tolerance for winter is getting shorter and shorter!)

It was +30F when I went to bed about 2am, and +10F with 3" of white fluffy stuff when I crawled out at about 7am. It's currently a bright sunny +17F. The sidewalks, cars, and streets are all cleared off, and the snow is melting away! Several dozen finches, sparrows, juncos, cardinals, doves, and few other randon varieties are happily chowing down at the feeders!!! So all is well in my own little world!

Well, I've held back but if you guys are going to keep bumping the thread then I'll join in. I love the weather-reporting game!
It was bitter cold this morning-- 69 degrees with light rain and a forecast high of only 77. I've traded in my tank top for a toasty-warm high-collar short-sleeve t-shirt. The surf is miserable at just 75 degrees, and even the monk seals are shivering on the beach. A friend of mine traded in his nylon rash guard for 1 mm neoprene.
It's definitely too frigid for yardwork, let alone lounging on our side yard's canopied futon swing with a frosty beverage and a good book. We've had the stairwell window shut for over a month now and we're still shutting the rest of the windows at night.
If it gets much colder then I'm going to have to go find my pants and both pairs of socks. And if we have those record-breaking morning cold snaps in the low 60s/high 50s then I'm going to go look for my jacket or maybe even the blanket.

OK, how do I get to your place?
Tonight it is supposed to hit the magic number where degrees C & F are equal -40. Windchill is forecast at -56C or -68.8F. Tennis anyone?

It is 78 now after a hi today of 81. We are getting a cold front tomorrow noon and the high on Wednesday is going to be a bone chilling 66 degrees.Only 2 nights this week below 50. I love South Texas in the winter but ask me later how I like it in August!

-29 degrees Centigrade = -20.2 degrees Fahrenheit
With the wind chill that feels like:
-43 degrees Centigrade = -45.4 degrees Fahrenheit
