Is it Cold Where you Are?

Hazel_B

It's a beautiful day here, but with windchill it feels like -23 with windchill (-10 for Americans). However, I can't complain after seeing FB last night. Someone from HS currently lives in Nunavut (the newest Canadian territory) and it is -65 with windchill ( -85 for Americans) so skin freezes in 2 minutes.

On a bright note, the sun is starting to rise earlier...woohoo!

What is it like where you are?

Does comparatively (to normal) cold count?  Um... compared to skin freezing in 2 minutes, probably not! 

It's a bit chilly this morning, which makes me glad I went running last night so I could cuddle up with BF this morning and stay warm.  This weekend is going to be quite cold for down here - down in the 20's and 30's.  So totally NOT looking forward to waking up at 6am to run 8 miles on Saturday!!!  It's coldest first thing in the morning.

It's currently 21F here which isn't as cold as it could be this time of year. The thing I hate most about winter here is the sun never shines. Never ever. Ever.

PaigeMcC

Cold? In Canada? No way, Hazel =P

It felt like -23 on Monday (with windchill).  Today is not so bad,  we've got some light snow and it's about -5 (aka 23 F ish).  

Hazel_B

Paige - I know, I know...lol.  Actually, I'm not minding the -23 too much, just don't want it to last forever. However, all my co-workers this morning have been complaining. After reading -65 last night I don't think there is anything to complain about for me.

PaigeMcC

Hazel - I wouldn't mind -23 for a little while.  Although on Monday we had NO HEAT in my office so -23 really sucked.

Hazel_B

Paige - ugh, no heat, I can't even imagine. We have Winterlude coming up soon, so we really need the low temperatures. Plus it makes driving way easier than getting a ton of snow.

PaigeMcC

It was AWFUL.  I got to go home for 2 hours til it was fixed though...that was nice. haha

I agree with the driving, I'd rather cold than too much snow.  People always panic when it snows...like it NEVER happens around here or something...?

Hazel_B

Yeah, you'd think people around here had never seen snow or ice before. Rush hour grinds to a halt, it is ridiculous!

calindi

Well, traffic here was MISERABLE today, but it had nothing to do with snow or cold.  They've decided to reconstruct the street in front of my building.  For the next YEAR!!!!!!!!  It took me 25 minutes in horrible traffic to get through an intersection that should have taken me 2 minutes to get past.

I guess I can't complain with you guys and your -20s! But it is cold here, too, at exactly zero degrees Fahrenheit. I broke out the long underwear today. I've been ogling this, too:

I don't have a long down coat, and I like that this one doesn't look like wearing a big ol' down comforter. It just went on sale, too! Still a little expensive...sigh...WANT.

Hazel_B

Cate - We have essentially two driving seasons here - winter and construction, something is always messed up. They had a water main burst last week, which turned into a sink hole on one of the most major streets in the city...disaster.

Marley - I got this for Christmas (http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/womens-arctic-parka_2.html?parent_category_rn=&cm_vc=Search) and I love it.

PaigeMcC

Ohhh Marely that looks warrrrm!! My friend has one just like it.  Very nice!

marleylikeair

Thanks, Paige! WANNNNNT.

Hazel, that one looks super cozy too. Oh, and YGPM!

bourgehm

Freezing cold here too! And as I mentioned in another post I need to drive back to school. My car is sort of having issues at the moment, so I'm hoping it can start in this cold!

AudgiePodge

That is crazy. The coldest I've felt was -10 and -35 with wind chill. I can't imagine what -85 would be.

SeaTea02

Don't hate me, but the high today is 50*F. That is higher than the average 30*F  

I think the lowest it has been all winter is 19*F... 

And I thought THIS was cold.

I'm with you... anything in the 10-30 degree F range is COLD for me!

Today is sunny and 75.  My desk was moved, so I no longer have an unobstructed view of the bay, but it's still gorgeous out.

Mid 70s today, its starting to cool down from low 80s at the beginning of the week.  But warm enough for me to sport flip flops and skirt.  Got high winds today so no surfing I hate windy days my hair gets so knotted and static. 

Beads921

Only about -10C here today. Seems to be about average so far this winter. Earlier this week it was right around 0C, and it was glorious! That only lasted a day of course.

[Deleted User]

Today's high is 39F.  To me this is super cold, though I have never been in a negative temp (F).

I can't wait until it warms up here!

Hazel and Marley I love Northface and Patagonia gear.  Though it never gets cold enough for me to warrant jackets and coats like yours but they have some of the most awesome hiking gear and clothes to layer when the weather gets cold for back packing.  On top making a great product they are insanely involved with environmentalism and conservation.  The coats both look great and warm.  Marley I hope you get it soon so you can stay warm.

Since we only live one county apart the weather is the same here. It is suppose to get down to the high 60's next week. It is super windy though which makes it feel cooler than it is.

cu97tiger

It will be a balmy 69 degrees here today... cooling down into the mid 60's this weekend. The coldest it's been here is around 29F and people were totally freaking out. Snow fell for about 20 minutes and you'd have thought the world was ending!

jilld82

I'm in Orange county and yeah like Moto said it was in the 80's and cooled off to mid 70's.  SOOOOO MISERABLE.

I have to agree, I have a pair of patagonia underwear and they are the best things ever!

I'm sad it's actually going back down into the 60's...I was quite enjoying the 75 degree weather earlier this week.  Last weekend was beautiful outside...

HI neighbor.  I was hoping for another weekend like last weekend for this weekend.

Heehee, thanks, Lyn. I almost don't feel like I can justify it, since really, I don't spend that much time outside in the really cold season. My wool coat is a really warm one, and with long underwear and SmartWool socks, I'm pretty good, really. We'll see...

calindi

I'm hoping to move to San Diego area in 3 years (after we do a brief stint in Northern VA and RI for BF's training), so it makes me happy to hear the weather's as nice as here.

Lyn, if I'm out there in 3 years, I'll do one of those crazy races with you!
