DU weather check in:

[Texasgal]

Keeping warm? What's the temp? Prepared with food and warmth? Check in here!

I hope it passes quickly! Thinking of you all!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. 6F in Minneapolis.

It's warmed up a bit; not too bad today. Might snow a bit tomorrow. Typical February weather.

[Texasgal]

5. Glad you are used to it!

I think I'd die!

Keep warm!

[bigwillq]

2. Feels like -6

or at least that's what they said. I am in CT.

[emulatorloo]

3. 6 degrees where I am in Iowa

Hope you are enjoying a little warmer weather.

[Texasgal]

8. We've had some really nice spring like days here

It was in the 70's today. It looks like this same system will bring us some cold weather starting although not quite as cold obviously.

I hope you are keeping warm!

[shenmue]

4. 45F

Going to 29F.

[femmocrat]

6. We are going to -8 by morning (PA).

It is going to be a record low for the date. We are also having the 5th coldest Feb. on record, so far.

Our house is chilly, but I'm under the electric throw. The worst part is taking the dogs out. Their feet get so cold out there.

Thanks for the warm thoughts.

[Texasgal]

10. OH! Poor doggies!!!

What do you keep your heat on? Do you have another heat source? Stove? Fireplace?

[femmocrat]

83. We keep it on 63 and use a space heater.

This house is just drafty because it has an addition that sucks out all the heat. We converted the fireplace to propane a number of years ago. Big mistake.... it makes no heat. When our power was out for several days, we did cook on it though! Just like camping out. LOL

[yeoman6987]

113. I feel so bad for you. You must be so cold

It is 37 degrees in Orlando and I have the heat on at 76 degrees and still a bit chilly...not horrible though. My neighbor who I visited today had they're heat on so high, I actually perspired a bit...very uncomfortable. They must keep they're heat mid 80's. I hope you stay ok and as warm as possible. It is supposed to get to 81 on Sunday. Weird weather. My electric bill will be pretty high this month. Thermostat has been at 76 for close to a week....yieks!

[femmocrat]

84. Deleted-- double post.

I don't know how that happened.

[calimary]

7. Stay warm, dry, and SAFE, everybody!

I'd send you lots of California warmth if I could!

[GusBob]

9. Going down to 29 tonight coldest of the year

While out covering plants I stepped in dog crap. So well, crap

Eta meant to reply to OP.

[H. Cromwell]

11. Brrrrrrrrr

As of now it is 6 degrees. It is expected to go to around -4 or so. We are warm and cozy. I live in the hard coal region of PA. I have enough fuel to keep us warm till spring without going broke paying for oil.
All the schools are on a 2 hour delay, but I bet there will be a few crazy or brave souls wearing shorts while waiting for the school bus.

[RiverLover]

12. Supposed to break a hundred year old record low tonight

in Ohio. -13 (its 1 now, feels like -14)

The record is -9.

[Texasgal]

36. Yikes!!!

I hope you have some extra blankets!!!!

I can not imagine such biting cold. I am a Central Texan... when we get to 20 degrees which is rare I start crying!

Keep warm!

[RiverLover]

133. Thank you Texasgirl

At least I don't live in a tent, trying to keep it in perspective here. Doesn't make it any warmer though!

[Arkansas Granny]

13. 32F here. A little ice and snow still on the ground from Monday with

freezing rain and drizzle in the forecast. I'm stocked up on the big three (coffee, cat food and toilet paper) so I'm in good shape.

Everyone stay warm and safe.

[Texasgal]

37. Those are great things to be stocked up on!

Hope you get through this okay and are keeping toasty!

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. Currently 0 in Chicago.

[Texasgal]

43. Yuck!

Stocked up? Warm? I think I'd be drinking hot tea all day!

Stay warm my dear! :hugs:

[greatauntoftriplets]

48. Warm enough now but it was very cold this morning! -8 at 8 a.m.

The sun was out and that helped with the warmth.

[BainsBane]

15. yesterday was -9

The wind chill made if feel much colder. Today we're up to 2 degrees. The forecast says in the 20s tomorrow, and then back to -8 on Monday.

[KeepItReal]

16. 2F at O'Hare Airport

Brrr!

[dhill926]

72. ah shit...

headed there tomorrow from SoCal. Gonna be a bit of a shock...

[KeepItReal]

158. Bring earmuffs!

It's bitter cold and windy.

[MannyGoldstein]

17. 13 outside of Boston, on the way down to -2

But I just ate the most unbelievably awesome sous vide chuck roast with sambal matah. And we can see most of the blacktop on our driveway. So it could be worse.

[Kaleva]

18. -20 below this morning.

Some areas reported -40 below with the wind chill factor

[Texasgal]

25. Oh MYYY!

That is just awful! Where are you?

Keep bundled up!

[Kaleva]

30. Upper Michigan. North of Wisconsin.

There was no wind where I live but it still was a biting cold.

[Texasgal]

46. Oh yeah, that's COLD!

Wind or not!

UGH!

[Throd]

19. High 60's in Sacramento. Had to wear long pants.

[jwirr]

20. NE MN 8 below last I looked.

[Adsos Letter]

21. 67* in NorCal

Foggy mornings (and we could sure use more rain).

Hope you all get some relief soon.

[octoberlib]

22. 18 degrees in Charlotte, NC

It's supposed to get down to 5 degrees tonight. Cold for here but I'm originally from the mid west so it doesn't bother me too much.

[one_voice]

23. 9 degrees. Feels like -2...

gonna feel like -15 to -25 tonight. Coldest air in 21 years. Tomorrow will be crazy cold. They closed the schools. Guess they didn't want the kids standing at the bus stops. My heater has been going non stop. I don't even want to see my electric bill.

*I'm in Delaware.

[scarletwoman]

24. It was -26F this morning on my way to work - yes, that's minus 26, below zero.

It was +4F on my way home, but the temperature has been dropping rapidly - although it's only supposed to go to -12 or so tonight.

Honestly, I feel like a wimp for complaining - this has been an unusually warm winter for the most part. Nothing like last year when the temps stayed below zero for weeks, thanks to the Polar Vortex. It's just that usually by this time in February, we're pretty much done with the double digits below zero kind of weather. But this too shall pass...

[Texasgal]

28. Spring is coming!!!!

Yes.. just keep that in your mind!!!

Stay warm!

[scarletwoman]

56. Yes, spring will come.

In a couple of months or so...

[haikugal]

67. We couldn't believe our eyes yesterday!

An early pair of Canadian Geese at the stream...I guess they eat the water weeds? We have many pairs of geese and over 20 pairs of Blue Heron nest here...these poor geese, I hope they are OK.

[Blue_In_AK]

103. I keep telling you

You need to move back up here to the tropics.

[scarletwoman]

108. LOL!

But what would I do with all my bragging rights?

[Man from Pickens]

26. upstate SC 18F

6F with wind chill

I've seen worse, but not since I've been in SC.

[Bonhomme Richard]

27. 9º...wind 10 MPH here in Ct n/t

[cwydro]

29. Supposed to be 8 tonight in NC.

Darn cold for us.

[madinmaryland]

31. 1F here in Dayton, OH.

[TreasonousBastard]

32. It was in the 20's today, so I went to the beach...

but it's dropping down to single digits again tonight. And then the wind won't help things.

Record number of water main breaks for the county this year-- over 200 so far.

A woman I know had her house burn down last night, but we found her shelter.

[2naSalit]

33. +30F in my part of Montana

not normal for here this time of year. That really cold air should be hanging around here.

Look at the bright side, if you have bark beetle infestations in your forested places, this will probably kill them.

[1StrongBlackMan]

34. 78 and Sun shiny. ..

I hate to brag; but this is exactly why I left Ohio.

[haikugal]

71. Yeah, we'll remember that this summer...

[1StrongBlackMan]

85. But, it's a dry heat!

[haikugal]

91. Yeah, that's what they say in Phoenix.

Doesn't help...the asphalt still melts. Lol

[Jackpine Radical]

35. Been hovering a few degrees below 0ºF all day. Real cold is coming,

supposedly Sunday night. The prediction is for -25ºF that night.

I have my books, a well-charged Kindle, & a store of essentials, with no desperate need to go out into it anytime soon.

[Historic NY]

38. Tempature heading to -7 tonight which means at least -10 where I am

wind chill advisory -15.....on a good note 19 days until Disneyworld.

[virgdem]

39. 18F in Virginia Beach, VA

low expected tonight-9F-will break record set back in 1895


brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

[NutmegYankee]

124. 1F right now for me in Conn.

Last edited Fri Feb 20, 2015, 04:26 AM - Edit history (1)

My sister in VB is freaking out over the cold.

[Marrah_G]

40. Providence, RI- wicked fucking cold!

[Angleae]

41. 50 and wet

About normal for this time of year here in Puget Sound.

[GP6971]

45. Yep

54 in Olympia when I left work.

[Texasgal]

50. Really? Hmm...

I guess we always think of those areas as being super cold. That dosen't sound so bad.

[freshwest]

86. Ssssh! Don't tell anyone! Still wearing my full length leather coat and scarf, though. I'm old.

Still, haven't had the heat on for a month.

[cyberswede]

42. 2 degrees, feels like -8.

Much warmer than this morning.

[hack89]

44. 6 degrees and getting colder by the hour. Nt

[Aerows]

47. It's a balmy

36 F here, compared to what some are suffering, though I'm sure the temps are going to plummet over night to maybe the high twenties.

[Texasgal]

52. You are in NOLA right?

I guess this same system is supposed to hit us on sunday. Low temps here but nothing serious like up north. Ofcourse, I am not used to seriously cold so any of it is gonna require me to be a big baby!

Keep warm!

[Aerows]

66. I'm a little ways away from there

but yeah, anyone on the coast is going to need to bundle up . I'm eating red beans and rice again tonight - it's perfect for a chilly night!

[Texasgal]

68. I love me some red beans and rice!

I'm jealous!!!

Keep warm and enjoy!!!

[dgibby]

49. 10 and dropping

in the Alleghany Highlands of Va. Wind chill -15 to -30 as the winds pick up tonight. More snow predicted for Sat.

Stay safe, everyone!

[jakeXT]

51. The purple invasion ?

[Omaha Steve]

53. 18 here at our house

Will get down to 3 tonight. Fire feels great.

[Texasgal]

55. Thank goodness for fire!!!

Hope you stay bundled up!

[Omaha Steve]

87. 35 pound dog on my lap in the recliner

I'm doing fine.

[Enthusiast]

143. As long as it's not a "two dog night".

[Omaha Steve]

146. Sometimes I have the two 15 pound rat terriers..

In my lap with Dug at the same time.

[myohmy2]

54. it's....

....-2 deg F here in northern Illinois and dropping....can't afford to keep the thermostat up too high, so it's a bit nippy....

....I made my usual light breakfast and then a chicken breast and rice for lunch....being only on SS income limits me to a couple of meals a day, not that I'm complaining....

....now that the slimy pukes and 1%ers are in charge, I'm grateful for my two meals a day....

[liberal N proud]

57. Colder than a proverbial sorceress mammary gland in the deepest, darkest depths of purgatory!

-2 feels like -20, Temp going to -15 overnight.

[Texasgal]

97. i cannot believe I missed this post!

LOL!!!

Glad you have some humor! Love it!!!

[Bobbie Jo]

58. 3 degrees

All of my 4-legged buddies are snuggled up and hunkered in with us.

Brrrrrrr

Stay warm and safe, y'all.

[matt819]

59. 8 in southwestern NH

I'm fed up. Snow. Cold. Wind. Blecch.

[mnhtnbb]

60. 15 right now in Chapel Hill, NC: predicting 5 degrees for overnight low.

We've lived here since 2000 and I don't think it's ever been this cold.

We'll have the faucets dripping overnight. Last year we had a frozen pipe
when it was upper single digits one night.

[Texasgal]

64. Oh man...

I'll bet there will be plenty of busted pipes. Happens here too although rare. Ugh. I always drip when it gets really cold. Alot of folks here just cover.

I hope everything will be okay. Stay warm!

[A Little Weird]

61. It's 0 here in Kentucky with a windchill of -9

I'm ready for spring. Anytime now.

[haikugal]

62. 5 degrees -7 wind chill...

Went shopping with my son tonight. Plenty of food and stopped at the state store as well. South Central Pennyslvania, just north of Gettysburg.

He's cold over at the house ( stone house needs chimney swept) but all in all nothing frozen. My kitchen thawed so all is good...it's really cold out!

[DeadLetterOffice]

63. 3F with wind chill at -18F in my part of upstate NY.

Supposed to drop another 10 degrees overnight. Windchills tomorrow between -25F and -30F.

So damn sick of this winter...

[Purveyor]

65. -8F mid michigan. Brrrrrr... eom

[inanna]

69. SW Ontario, Canada

And wow is it cold here. I almost cried today - before and after work while waiting for the bus.

I cannot stand it!

Under a blanket right now with my little dog - in jammies, slippers and a hoodie.

Really dreading going to work in the morning because it is supposed to be even worse than it was today.

[Texasgal]

73. Oh man! I hear you!

I cannot imagine that!!!

I hope you'll be okay, glad your doggie is helping you BOTH keep warm!

[RadiationTherapy]

70. Upper 60s at 7k elevation. Dry as a bone.

It is unbelievably dry and will be terribly dangerous for fires this year.

[Texasgal]

75. Are you in Cali?

Yes, we could really use some rain here too. We have a system moving in but it won't give us alot of precipitation.

[RadiationTherapy]

77. Northern Arizona.

The landscape of flora has transformed incredibly over the past 15 years. I have heard Texas has also transformed due to the drought.

[Texasgal]

82. Yes. It's really bad here as well.

We really need some rain. I'm hoping that the spring brings us all some relief!

[onehandle]

74. 12 in Philly. Getting down to 2.

I have to leave home to subway to a meeting when it hits 3.

[Art_from_Ark]

76. Around freezing in the early morning,

warming up to the 50s by early afternoon is the usual pattern around here.

Northern Tokyo Metro Area.

[tularetom]

78. A little overcast and 60 degrees just down the hill from Yosemite

It's been a good day to split and stack firewood. I probably should have done that instead of sitting on my ass catching up on Better Call Saul most of the afternoon.

[Beringia]

79. 1 degree near Chicago

[Laffy Kat]

80. Boulder County, Colorado..

Bones aching! A low heading this way with a predicted eight to twelve inches of snow, depending on who you listen to. Temps are mild at the moment but will get down to the low 20s tomorrow. Snow is suppose to continue through Saturday. That's ok. Bring it!

[fizzgig]

123. that last storm just mucked up the roads for a bit up here in ft collins

we get missed by a lot of stuff that hits you guys, so i'll believe the 7-12 inches when i see it. at least i get paid tomorrow so i can stock up just in case.

[kaiden]

136. Live up in Conifer. Last really big snow was in 2009.

Looks like the clime has changed from big snows in the winter and spring to massive rains in the summer. Would much rather have the snows with a gradual melt-off than half the hillside sliding down to the Platte River in August. That much rain makes me cranky. Snow and cold go down easier with a wood stove. Here's hoping for a foot or two!

[haikugal]

81. I think I'll put the blanket on my horse tomorrow. She's a hairy puff ball but getting

some age on her at 25, I think a coat is in order.

[Lefta Dissenter]

88. 8° below right now,

with wind chills of 20 to 25 below tonight.

On the plus side, the little snows we've been getting have been so dry that I can clean the driveway with the leaf blower.

[panader0]

89. Got to 78 degrees today

but tomorrow it's only supposed to be 74!
Weirdly warm this year. There must be something coming soon....
Sorry to all who are suffering from the cold.

[annabanana]

90. South Shore of Long Island 10:12pm 14 degrees

"feels like" -6

going down to a real 4 degrees tonight.

A Three Dog Night for sure!

[elleng]

93. Where on the South Shore, annabanana?

Grew up in Rockville Centre.

[KittyWampus]

115. remember Jahn's Ice Cream Parlor? Went to school in town close to Rockville Center

and after rehearsals closed we'd go off to Jahn's.

[elleng]

116. Sure do, KittyWampus.

A classmate said recently that Jahn's has closed. Where was your school?

[KittyWampus]

150. Freeport. :-) We had a great location for a high school. It was next to Nunleys Amusement Park,

Duck Pond, Friendly's and the old Brooklyn Water Works which was right by a small stream and some woods.

So many wonderful places to go and smoke a joint instead of going to class.

[elleng]

151. Sounds like a lovely spot!

I/we were in high school nowhere near such (and years before we'd even HEARD of smoking joints!) Have invited high school classmates to party at my cottage by a large river, some woods, and corn field, this June!

[meow2u3]

162. I sure as hell do

I remember my parents taking me and my family to Jahn's when I was a kid. Then, when I was 18, I decided to go in by myself and I ended up ordering one of the most delicious, hand-patted burgers to have with my ice cream.

[elleng]

92. 7 degrees F in MD suburb of DC now,

0 degree forecast for 7 a.m., high tomorrow - 15 degrees, at 5 p.m. No precip.



Thanks, Texasgal.

[niyad]

94. 40 right now, 56 tomorrow--sunday high will be 20 (and we are supposed to have

anywhere from 1"-20" snow this weekend (I just LOVE the accuracy of our weather forecasts)

but, I have plenty of blankets, chocolate and some wine. . .

[Texasgal]

95. Perfect!

You have great staples!

[niyad]

96. well, one does stock the important things!!

[Cal Carpenter]

98. Zero, feels like -13. Low of -20 expected before dawn tomorrow.

Fortunate to be in a small cozy house, safe and sound.

[msongs]

99. 79 in honolulu, occasional sunsets and slight chance showers late nt

[LiberalElite]

100. You know, I've been

trying to be grateful I don't live in Boston but today that didn't work. It's now 12 in NYC with a windchill of -17. Humidity is 45% but the dew point is -7! Tomorrow (Friday) should be marginally better. Windchills will be above zero, or approx. 2 degrees. Saturday will be warmer so that means we'll get snow and then Sunday warmer still and forecast is for rain. Then the temp. will drop "like a rock" as a local ABC meteorologist says always with great relish. I assume that means the wet pavement will turn to ice. WOO HOO Next week we're still in the freezer.

Thanks for asking!

P.S.: Where are you?

[Warpy]

101. Low 70s today in NM.

We'll turn colder by Saturday, getting a glancing blow from the midwest cold as the high pressure area forces some of it through the high passes.

The trees are in bud and I could swear I saw a few mouse ear leaves on the neighbor's aspens.

[Blue_In_AK]

102. At 7:00 p.m. in Anchorage, Alaska, it is 29 degrees and clear

Two days ago it was 45 here, a new record for the date. We're expecting rain over the weekend, and daytime highs in the upper 30s, low 40s, for the next week. We've had less than 20 inches of snow this winter. Average snowfall for a winter here is 70.6 inches, so we are way under.

[sabrina 1]

111. You are way warmer that we are in upstate NY. Right now the wind chill has to be around -12. There

is at least a foot of snow still on the ground which is blowing around making it appear that we are in the middle of a blizzard.

The dog is the main problem, her feet get so cold she holds them up off the ground. We're looking for sled doggie boots for her. The cats won't even go out, except for the 'snow panther'. He's big and acts more like a dog than a cat, he has a thick, long haired shiny black coat. We think he's part Maine Coon. But even he won't stay out this year for more than a few minutes.

45 in Alaska? Isn't that unusual? I think for here it is way below normal for this time of year.

People will be going to Alaska soon to get away from the cold!

[Blue_In_AK]

126. Our last two winters have been pretty mild.

What's been particularly strange this year is the lack of snow. We're getting rain instead, like this is Seattle or something. The climate is nothing like it used to be. I've been here 40 years this coming May.

[beveeheart]

104. 63 degrees in Denver today, but expecting 12" - 16" of snow starting

tomorrow late afternoon through Sunday.

[marlakay]

105. Visiting Arcata CA it was sunny at beach in the 60's today...nt

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

106. Chicago WC between -17 and -28 for 24 hours

[DreamGypsy]

107. A bit east of Springfield OR, 8:15 pm, 51F with ...

...expected low of 40F overnight. High of 58F today, tomorrow's expected high is 51F.. Slightly foggy skies now - Jupiter's bright lamp is dim.

One dog inside, one out.

[OnlinePoker]

109. Mowed my lawn in Victoria, BC yesterday

13c.

[Jenoch]

110. It's a balmy 7° in the Twin Cities right now.

It was -11° this morning. Tomorrow it will be almost tropical as the high is forecast to be near 30°.

Up north, Embarrass, Minnesota was -41° this morning, not even close to the record of -60° F.

[TheKentuckian]

112. Currently 1 en route to -10

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

114. It's 53 out side now. I planted two tomatoes' in the garden today.

An Early Girl and an Ace. Will cover them if frost threatens. Plums, apricots and almonds have been in bloom. Nectarine and peaches started. Asian pear has been in bloom and now one apple started. Hope we get more rain before summer.

[greatlaurel]

117. Going to -20 F tonight and the water pipes are frozen.

Hoping the trusty plumber can bring his giant salamander and get the pipes thawed before they bust. The little space heater and heat lamps were just not enough against this cold snap. No fun.

[laundry_queen]

118. Record breaking weather here.

It's been very warm here in central Alberta. We hit a high of 43F today. Lots of snow melting going on. We had rain today too. The great part is that it's supposed to rain tonight, then the temperature drops and we get snow on top of the nice layer of ice the rain is going to leave us. Can't wait to drive into work tomorrow. (not so much).

[JNelson6563]

119. -19 in Traverse City MI right now.

Brutal cold here!

Julie

[fizzgig]

120. 67 today in northern colorado, winter storm watch tomorrow night through sunday night

lower 50s tomorrow with rain turning to snow and anywhere from 7 to 12 inches of snow and they're calling for bullshit cold on sunday, but who the hell knows. we were supposed to get six inches of snow last weekend and all we got was a dusting, but thank gods tomorrow is payday so i can stock up on food (and beer) just in case.

[Ms. Toad]

121. 4 below. Heading for 13 below by morning. n/t

[ReRe]

122. -4 in Central KY at 1:30am

Cats are going absolutely crazy because they can't go outside. Warm as a bug in a rug. Food in the pantry. Starting my seeds for the spring planting later today. Everybody keep warm and check on your neighbors.

[Oktober]

125. High of 98 expected...

Plan to get some tanning time in..

[undergroundpanther]

127. Near zero here

Wind chills making it worse. This cheap apartment I live in,is drafty as crap,if you drop your feet near the floor you can feel a bit of cold wind,also the mini blinds do nothing to keep a steady cool breeze off of you so I sit here wrapped in blankets and still feel the chill. This place. Has no insulation. Shit they didn't even bother to paint the cheap cardboard covered drywall plaster with any paint.
This place was financed as low income housing by a fucking bank,never expect a rich corporate pig organization to give a quality home to those they'd rather see dead.$600 a month for this in 3years this place will be falling apart. Already we've had a shooting next door,drug raids,criminals pretending to be maintenance banging on doors...this place isn't safe it's hell.
I so miss my house, it was safe, I had painted the walls beautiful,cold nights like this were nothing if you had heat,the insulation killed all the drafts. I'd have my heat set at 69 and it was warm there. In this stupid apartment 70 degrees feels like 60. I don't think I will ever recover from losing my old home,I miss it still. Living in an unfamiliar hostile(they harass anyone different this place is full of bigots racists assholes) place with no way to get around,no way to see freinds ect.sucks,but it's horrible to me because I live 99% of the time alone here. Life just sucks,since my sisters stole the house and sold it leaving me with nothing nowhere to go. I had to go here. I am starting to just vacillate from hate to despair. Tonight is the perfect sort of bitter cold I would walk outside find a nice spot lay down and freeze if I didn't have mom and my cats. if I didn't have them I'd be out there looking at the moon until it all went away.

[longship]

128. Got my Long Johns on. Gonna go down to -14F tonight. (Not idiotic wind chill!)

And yup! I am staying inside so I am staying warm.

Keep bundled up, DUers.

Love ya.

[eridani]

129. In Seattle, it's warm enough that we are worrying about winter snow pack

--which we drink in summer. 58 degrees is too bloody warm for this time of year.

[ohheckyeah]

130. 1 degree here

in the Roanoke area, VA. We got 8 inches of snow earlier this week and expect more Sunday. Fortunately we haven't lost power.

[LadyHawkAZ]

131. almost 2am and 64 degrees on the AZ/NV state line

Been hovering around 80 during the day.

Back home in Salt Lake I think there's a chance of snow today.

138. -4 This Morning at 4am. 60 Miles South of Chicago

But, it isn't stopping us from getting out and around. So, we're ok around here.

139. -3F in Morgantown, WV

Unpleasant, to say the least. But only three weeks until Costa Rica!

140. Still waiting for Winter to happen here in Western Washington state.

The daffodils are blooming. Frogs are singing. Birds are mating.

Give us another month and the forest fires will be burning out of control.

Wackiest weather ever, out here.

[B Calm]

141. Not that I have ever touched a Well Diggers Ass, but it's damn cold here in Indiana!

[NEOhiodemocrat]

142. North eastern Ohio here; was -14 when I got up

Up to -12 now! We heat with woodstove and two electric oil heaters (for cellar and kitchen) also heat tape on pipe to well. We are doing OK. Stocked up with food and cat food and spring water in milk jugs! A cat from the neighbors barn was tucked in bed with one of my cats this morning...he only comes for sleepovers when it gets really cold, been seeing a lot of him lately! Hope everyone is weathering this spell OK. A friend's electric was out for about four hours last night, at least she had a woodstove also. Losing electric would be our biggest fear right now. Pipes would go for sure if that happened.

144. Just north of Boston:

This AM, minus 25 wind chill, 103 inches of snow, still no clearing of snow piles on my street. 15 foot drifts in my yard and that of my neighbors.
Running electric heaters in addition to furnace. Can't imagine how I will pay electric bill when this is over.
New severe weather due tomorrow and Sunday plus another storm due next week. Cannot get out of my driveway, road too narrow to back out. Piles too high to back in. Town is paralyzed.
I live in an area with many seniors, we can't walk or drive anywhere because of the snow piles, cannot even get to the drug store to get RX's. I was here during the blizzard of '78. That storm was a flurry compared to this.

145. -1, realfeel -29 in RI

Thank God the power hasn't gone out, cross fingers. Amazing with the prolonged amount of wind. Also thank God for the shoveling and plowing guys and peapod delivery.

The cat and I would be blocks of ice without the electric heaters. The baseboard heating just can't keep up.

[alarimer]

147. 11 here (eastern NC)

It is so cold, the heaters at my office (and my apartment) cannot keep up.

[Nay]

148. Zero degrees in Richmond, VA this morning. nt

[gollygee]

149. -4 with windchill of -10 right now

According to the news, the windchill was -20 when schools were canceled this morning.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

152. 34 when I woke up this morning.

In other words, way too cold for this guy who moved away from winter.

[obxhead]

153. Freezing our asses off.

We had frost this morning, FROST damnit.

We're only going to get to 54 today ffs.

I'm ready for winter to end here in sw floriduh.

Thankfully tomorrow it will just he chilly with a high around 73. We might thaw out a bit finally.

154. when I got up this morning it was -19, now it is +2

I'm home after going to the store to get ripe bananas for my Hummingbird cake cause my children ate the ones that were on the counter that I had ripening up. Baking in the oven warms up the house, plus it smells really good too.

[dolphinsandtuna]

156. hummingbird cake.

I had to look that one up, somehow I thought it would be shaped like a hummingbird.

[notadmblnd]

157. I don't know why it's called a hummingbird cake, but it sure is good.

[njlib]

155. 12 right now in northwest NJ

Going down to -2 tonight, which is actually a little warmer than it's been at night lately. Tomorrow will be interesting because it will be snow in the afternoon/evening, 3-6 inches, then ice Sunday morning which should supposedly change to rain in the afternoon. Last time they said ice to rain, it was ice all day!! Our town is very low/almost out of salt, so I'm not looking forward to going to work Saturday night and having to come home in the ice on Sunday morning....but I'll still take this over summer's heat & humidity ANY DAY!!!

159. Atlanta (airport) - 34 with light snow

[Go Vols]

160. 20 and snow in Southern Mid-Tenn.

Quite a few here still without power since Monday ice storm and another inch of ice predicted tonite when the snow changes to freezing rain.

[Avalux]

161. It's a balmy 71 here in San Antonio.

However by Monday, the high will be 42. Bouncing all over the place, and my trees are confused.
