I was just thinking as I sat down at my computer a few minutes ago what a weird winter we've had here in the mid-west so far (at least in my portion of it). Unusally warm and very little snow so far. I appreciate it after last year when it seemed to snow every other day - but a little voice tells me that this is the calm before the storm. Hope things warm up for you and all the other frozen Nor'easters Annie! :)

May we all have an early warm spring! Nowhere near as chilly here in this Great Lakes/Midwest area as it in the Northeast. It was great having 50 degree weather around Christmas (for me, anyway) but as CastleBee says, this is the calm before the storm- usually late January around these parts. That's when the dreaded freezing rain was here for awhile last year. Ick!

It's bitter cold here in Philly, and as per usual, the heating system in my apartment building is not working, so my apartment is a lovely 55 degrees. Wearing hats, coats, gloves, and scarves indoors is positively de rigeuer this season!

You're not just playin' Dixie, Anne. It's so cold when the sun goes down, that Mr. Woo, our dog, goes outside, uses the "bathroom" and is back at the door in a half a minute. As for the cats, Bella and Magda, they don't even go outside. They uses the litter box and sit in the picture window and scowl at people. [angrg]

Cold isn't the word for it! Last night the temp here was a grand total of 0!! I've never seen it reach this low before. Then, today we actually got up to 24 degrees and it felt like a heatwave to me, LOL!! I guess you don't realize how cold it can get until you've experienced that 0 degree mark. According to the Weatherman it's suppose to hit below zero towards this weekend. Now, that should be an experience. :o

By all means that's exactly what you should be doing. Well, at least the tapes for the end of June and the July 1968 episodes. You can leave the others until you need them. [wink2]

I moved to Phoenix exactly 20 years ago this week from Iowa so I do know what cold temperature is. I was just back home for Christmas and it wasn't cold at all. I guess they have been lucky this year. It's funny you mention how cold it is because it's supposed to be in the mid 70's all week here. I can't believe this weather, we are about 10 degrees above average. I love this but in about 5 months all of you out east will be having decent weather and I'll be cooking in 100+ degrees. I guess we all have our own reasons for putting up with extreme temperature. I can honestly say that if I was offered a comparable job in Iowa I would move back in a minute no matter what the weather is. I'm from an area of about 300,000 people including 4 cities that are known as the Quad Cities, so maybe some day.........

Here in Massachusetts I think that would be illegal. If your landlord doesn't fix the heating system you should call the Housing Department. Do they have a Mayor's Hotline in PA? Good luck! (And sorry if I'm suggesting the bleedingly obvious.)
But zero, schmero - Concord, Mass. registered -12 this morning! And tomorrow night promises to be record setting -8 degrees, which means that in Concord it will probably be even colder. Boy oh boy, do I dread that upcoming heating bill.
Stay warm, all!

I'm not happy about the cold myself....though I'd always choose too cold over too hot. We get drop deliveries of oil instead of scheduled ones, which means paying for over 200 gallons each time. THAT's hell on the budget.
But at the same time, weather this cold helps prevent the spread of all the nasty things we catch all winter, and if it saves my household from the flu, well, hand me another pair of socks! :D

It was -20 this morning but warmed up -10. Last night, the weather service ran warnings that the windchill was -40 to -60 depending where you lived. They advised us not to go outdoors, if possible. The news said it was the coldest day ever recorded in Portland. Maine is supposed to be cold but this is unbearable.

The coldest temp I've ever been in is when it gets down to the 20s here, which it did recently. Right now it's 57. I'm in my usual evening attire at home, wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and barefooted. I keep my two story home a comfy 75 degrees. It snowed here right after Christmas, the second time it snowed since I've been in Vegas. We get snow every five years, lol! It was a trip seeing snow on the pool deck and on top of the spa, I will remember that when I'm out there in the summer and it's 114 degrees! My daughter built a little snow man, and we had a snow ball fight. We took a walk around the neighborhood. It was pretty seeing the homes decorated for Christmas, and having snow around in the yards and on the roof tops. Palm trees and cars were covered with snow too, a rare sight here indeed. It's been in the 60s for the last few days, nice! We have 7 months of hot weather in Vegas from April - November. By then I'm almost praying for cold weather, lol! Keep warm all who are in the Northeast! Glad I'm here!

[size=8]I HATE SNOW?[/size]
I used to like it....if it went up north...I know MB's having a blast!!
Patti
who hates snow

I didn't even think it could snow if it's this cold. Gee whiz - we're actually going to be able to look forward to a "high" of 16 today. I think it's going down to 0 tonight. Ya know, if I wanted this, I'd live in North Dakota or some such place.
The snow's not that bad - only about 3 inches out there. BUT it's staying on the roads 'cause it's too cold to go anywhere and later it's supposed to get extremely windy. And I hate this when you have an appointment or something and you don't know what to do about it. I will NOT drive on bad icy roads and I'm supposed to go have stitches removed later this afternoon. It's too awful out and I'm not going to shovel so I can get the gate open. Now I'm all uneasy and can't sleep.
No school today. :P
PS So.....Patti......I take it you don't care for snow. LOL

Who wants to move to San Diego or something.

I told the husband to look for a job down south last night. I am sick of this. You know of course that is just talk. I will drag my tapes up from what my children call the Dark Shadows closet, but I actually need time to be able to watch them. Not to mention a TV that my college age children are not using. One went back last night the other one over the weekend coming.
Has everyone on the forum seen Finding Nemo.
I have to say I love it.
Birdie--the sea monkeys have my money

Ugh, freezing rain forecast for Saturday. >:( "I-cey" a slick weekend ahead.
Has everyone on the forum seen Finding Nemo.
I loved "Finding Nemo". Maybe I should watch that on Saturday, not a freezing raindrop in that film.

If we lived in North Dakota, 16 would be positively tropical.
I think we hit a high of 10 today, which is better than the 0 it's been, but I want it to be spring and I want it to be spring now.
