To what degree are you freezing your ass off? - Page 2

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

-24, -25

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

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.

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 feels to me like we've completely skipped December style cold and jumped straight into the arctic water that is January/February style cold.... in Antarctica.
