How's the weather?

[allegro]

We broke a Chicago record for the temperature today, -16 Fahrenheit for January 7th, but evidently we've been colder:

Check this out. Throw boiling water into the air, poof.

I hear there is a 'polar vortex' coming, but for now it was 50 degrees F.

[Blackbookpress1984]

@allegro , didn't realize you were in Chicago as well. Guess there's more of us on her than I thought.

This cold shit is overhyped. At least in ND, MN. People act like it's never been -20 makes no sense. And this wind chill buisness is funky as well. I got of work it was -9, -26 or something with windchill. So basically there was a 6 mph wind, which here in fargo essentially means no wind. Now I realize that on windy day that shit really fucking sucks, bad. It really wasn't that bad and certainly didn't "feel" like -20 something. More media hype bull shit. Also if you drive, I don't, and you are wearing a face mask shoot yourself.

Idk for those of you where this type if weather is an anomaly that's different, but in its area people need to htfu. I'm just glad we didn't get the ten feet if snow or whatever it was that hit out east .

[orestes]

Cold as Ymir's tits.

which already melted away during a freak 50 degree rainstorm we had yesterday, followed by a drop into those same cold temperatures. sht is bipolar.

Bought a parka at a thrift store a couple years ago, and found out later that it's an Air Force surplus piece that was designed for -60F.

Best six bucks I've spent in a while. That thing is absurdly toasty - no problems staying warm with the -25 wind chill we had this morning.

[aggroculture]

Came back and stole the salt too. fucker.

[onthewall2983]

And now? 41, cloudy with rain for the next few days. I can see patches of grass as the snow melts outside. Crazy.

[Pillfred]

Not nearly as bad as they made it sound, not in town at least. Media fear mongering has extended to the weather. /facepalm

[ziltoid]

I'd like to offer some advice and a reminder for people to be extra cautious when driving in cold weather conditions.

Please for the love of god remove the snow from your roof of you car as well as removing the snow/ice from the head lights and rear wind screen and hood. I couldn't believe how many people neglected to do this while driving on the roads here in Missouri. I now its been cold the past couple of weeks but its just down right stupid to put you life and other peoples life in danger because you're too stupid and or lazy to use your fucking common sense.

Also make sure you have deicer for you windshield wipers and make sure you have anti-freeze NOT WATER in your radiator.

I saw a guy pull into a local auto-zone store to purchase some deicer. When he went to turn on his car all you could hear was the car dying and you could see black smoke coming from the radiator tubes. Obviously the radiator was full of ice because the water froze. A sad mistake that can kill your engine for good.

Also people seem to forget that if your going on the high way at 60mph with a wind chill below zero your windscreen is going to get cloudy because you have the heater on inside the car. This causes humidity to build up on the inside and outside of your windshield which reduces your visibility. If you use you windshield wiper fluid and defroster/heater you can avoid losing visibility .

/end rant
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

well we are in prague, on vacation, and this morning it's -3,the snow has nearly all gone, but from the forecast it's gonna be chilly all week

[REPLICA]

60 degrees yesterday, 24 (feels like 15) out right now… Snow later tonight, hopefully - I need to get out of class tomorrow because of reasons.

Born, raised and still living in Vermont. But somehow, this winter has me rethinking why I live up here. Maybe summer and fall will change that like it usually does.

[jessamineny]

I'm wearing a hat. In my house.

[Rubeninphoenix]

It is currently 65 and sunny. High temperature of 76 for today.

You and me both. Now, I understand why people become "snow birds"

Dam it, I need to win the lottery.

I mentioned this to my husband. But his response - (we are an interracial couple) - 'we'd never survive in the South'.

All these old ladies from the fitness classes I teach are down in Florida right now. But I guess they're probably not enjoying much sunny warm weather.

Me? I'm just happy to not see negative number temperatures. Last week one day started at -26F, then got up to -16F and my husband says 'wow you can really tell the difference when it warms up to -16F'. Um.

HA. I said this yesterday when it was 25 rather then 10 as it was the day before!

I think you would "survive" the south. It's not 1963.

[Fixer808]

Got soaked at work today, it was pissing rain. It was like being babysat by R. Kelly.

HEY-OH!

[Baphomette]

[Fixer808]

[TheyCallMeDrug]

[Pillfred]

This winter has been shit.

[allegro]

[aggroculture]

[nemesiswontdie]

Midwest winter=shit.

Unfortunately, it's only going to get worse as tonight goes on then allllllllll the way until tomorrow night.

At least where I'm at anyways.

[Merse]

Ugh, It finally started raining. We're so far behind on precipitation here in California though, I dread fire season. Breathing is going to be a challenge this summer.
