Its 7 F here. >_< It is the same temperature in WEST VIRGINIA as fucking QUEBEC.

And it gets over 100 degrees in the summer here.


How about you guys?

Yesterday, the HIGH was 7 here.

Wind chill was 20-30 below.

-13 Celsius in Orillia.

-17 Celsius in Montreal.

I'm vacationing AWAY from the cold.

21.2°F. My windchill is warmer than you guys. Hah hah hah, It's only mildly freezing here.

I'm at a nice, toasty 25°F. However, I've turned my heater off because of the $80 power bill this month.

$80? Where are you, CheapyMcCheapPowerLand?

I'm currently somewhere in the single digits below 0 F.

Also, our furnace died. Again. It does this every year at the worst possible time, which today was right before we had to leave for confession (a church thing). So our house had a good couple hours to start cooling down, which meant it got to the low 60s before we used the oven to start trying to heat it up and bought a parabolic space heater.

Currently, the repair man is doing a lot of banging, so I guess we're not the only ones who are frustrated with the thing. XD

And with the windchill. -30 something.

We have the heat set on fairly high and we're all wearing several layers. I haven't taken off my scarf for a few days...

Outside it's been around the single digits with wind-chills in the negative teens. I've been doing Christmas shopping the past couple of days and it hasn't been too fun. Walking to the car with one bag makes me want to curl up in some blankets until April

$80? Where are you, CheapyMcCheapPowerLand?We live in a single room. Our normal bill is, like, $30. I think it's the power company screwing us over for not joining their "pay a flat rate every month then pay the difference when we decide to ask for it" scam.

Go go government-approved monopolies!

It's around 20F here with a wonderful windchill of about 2F. I don't mind the cold at all, it's the wind that's a killer. It goes right to the bones.

Thankfully I'm off to sunny Florida tomorrow where it's sunny and 75F.

Marelo

Actual current temperature: 26
Wind Chill temp: 11

That's actually mercifully warm compared to what it's been just in the last few days. Last night it was 11, with a windchill of negative 10, which was pretty consistently the case over the last week and a half.

I like how they installed heat lamps on some of the train platforms around here, mostly the platform where you transfer to the other line, but I can honestly say they do nothing if the wind is blowing. And that platform tends to be rather windy.

I gotta say, every temperature I've seen here just registers the same "fuck that's cold" reaction from me. I'm freezing my ass off at 41 right now, and today was a very cold day with a high around 65-70 ish I think.

Jesus Christ I'm never moving out of this state.

The worst part is, here in Kansas, you get the worst of both extremes and very little of the pleasantness in between.

It's actually cold tonight.

I don't sweat now, yay!

I mean, um... wow, that sucks, guys.

Seriously, higher than 75 causes me to rain like April.

First off, even in Fahrenheit, 41 is 9 degrees from being freezing. Second off, in Wisconsin, that's pleasant fall weather or maybe a chilly spring. You can ward that away with a heavy spring jacket or maybe a sweater/fleece and a normal spring jacket or even windbreaker (fleece only). Third off, suck it up! Everyone else has these things called ice and snow to worry about, so nyeh! :p

Winnipeg, MB. Keep in mind that that includes the wind chill, and it isn't exactly tonight, but yeah, not an uncommon temperature up here.

It's 16 degrees F here with a windchill of 2 degrees F, which, compared to the -5 degrees F with a windchill of -30 degrees F on Sunday, is downright BALMY.

Then again, I do live in the Chicago metro area, which I believe has already been declared the Ninth Circle of Hell. Rumor has it that Satan is flapping his wings in the middle of Lake Michigan.

Yeah well I just drove home in a car that had been sitting out all night...

I didn't have a thermometer or weather channel handy like you guys, but it must have been cold because my breath kept just ignored the liquid phase and turned into icicles that repeatedly stabbed my legs on the way home.

It was 28c and sunny today. Quite close to perfect actually. So no degrees of freezing my arse off.

Lowest temperature during the last week was 26ºC. During the night. When it rained. So, yeah, not freezing my ass off at all.

It's about 20 F here in east Texas. The temperature can vary wildly though. It is supposed to be 80 F later this week.

12-23-2008, 12:08 PM
I think the lowest we got to was a high of 17F. I don't know about the wind chill, or what it is currently, but I have an awesome snow outfit, so I'm not too bothered.

Just need some boots that aren't crap.

This just means your cold weather will be met by our own mocking warm weather once we zoom around the sun a bit and rotate some more.

Vault Of Thrones

In which case it would be around -20F, and about what it feels like around here with factoring in wind chill.

Except my hands. They're always cold. :/

It's 34 here and it feels way warmer. That's mostly because this is the first time in 5 days we've been above freezing and for 4 of those we were in the single digit at most and in the negatives all day sunday. Yay for Illinois I guess.

In fairness to England, from what I've read a significant fraction of Australia's insect and animal life is pretty absurdly venomous. So their weather's great, but you can't actually go outside without something turning you into a bloated, twitching corpse.

Practically everything in Australia can kill you. From kangaroos which can kick you to death to shit like platypusses with paralyzing venom to the hojillion snakes and spiders to the lethal jellyfish right off the coast.

I'm sick and everything's too cold and fuck it's New Jersey everything is snow or ice.

It's actually pretty "nice" right now. Only 32F right now, where it has been about 0 regularly with a windchill around -15 to -30. Nasty weather.

When I left college, there was no snow on the ground, 2 hours north and there's no bare ground in sight. Sheesh.

Kaneda
12-24-2008, 02:14 AM
About 17F right now, but the lack of any heating whatsoever makes things a bit more unpleasant. Watching "Rescuers Down Under" only marginally reduces the suffering.


I'm cold.

I'm sick and everything's too cold and fuck it's New Jersey everything is snow or ice.Actually, platypus venom makes you hyper-sensitive to pain for several weeks after being stung.

Also, people always forget the drop bears and the giant birds that can kick you to death with their disemboweling claws.

Let's not forget the wombats... The terror that is wombats... (http://www.jumbles.com/douglas_adams.htm)

The weather's actually been really nice over Christmas this year. Had a really bad heatwave for the past few years over summer. This year it's a bit more broken up by rain.

A lot more storms this year though. Brisbane actually got declared a disaster area a few weeks ago because of one.

Right now in Montreal, the temperature is around 2 degrees Celsius and there's freezing rain outside...last week though, we were chillin' our arses off with temperatures around -19 C without the wind chill (felt like -30 C sometimes with it).
I just hope we're not gonna have another ice storm like in 98', because then I'm gonna freeze my ass off with no electricity for a couple weeks.

So we had a rather sudden rise in temperature last night/this morning, and now everything's a lot less snowy. Mind you, it's a hell of a lot more slushy, and some patches of ground are, oddly, much more treacherous than they were when the snow lay a foot and a half thick on the ground, but at least the roads aren't covered in compacted snow and ice. We could actually get out of the house now, given a good enough excuse.

Southern Mo is having some odd weather, the day before yesterday it was 73 degrees, then yesterday it stormed all day with 40 and 50 mph winds, and now, it being Sunday morning, I look outside and see ice everywhere with a temperature of 3 degrees.

Then again this isn't too terribly strange for Mo, just strange for this time of year. More normal for this to happen in spring or fall.

Well, now the damn sidewalks are impossible to walk on, so most of the city's population is seen walking in the middle of the streets...last night I went ice skating, I could've used my skates to come back home, seriously.

Merci, les Cols-Bleus! Méchante job! (Random French rant because our plowing system SUCKS in Montreal...I hope it'll be better than last year though...we had over 500 cm of snow last year...that's twice the amount that we usually have.)

Also, @Nikose: I didn't know you were in Montreal, you originally from here?
