How cold is it?

Monsieur_et_Madame_Ha · January 2013

We're breaking all sorts of temperature records over here, and I have a feeling we're not the only ones, so I ask you: just how cold is it where you live?

It's so cold here that for the first time in the 4 years we've lived in our condo, we haven't been able to heat it properly. Even with the heat cranked up, we can't get past 18C (64F). Mind you it's not because of poor insulation, but our condo is open space, and with the mezzanine, it makes heating that much harder. At least we don't have a problem keeping the bedrooms warm. Can't wait to get my electricity bill :S

Cold enough that the focast of 22F with 12 mph wind has everyone talking about the warm weekend

Ha Ha So true. The same thing is happening here. All of a sudden, -12C (aka 10F) is being considered "warm". Insane

-16C with a windchill of -27C so far today. Warmer than last Friday :S

If the wind would lay off I could finally get DD and my poor dogs out for a snowshoe.

You know something's not right when it's colder here (currently -19C feels like -30) than in Labrador.

You've got that right!

One day last June (or early July) Goose Bay was the hottest place in Canada. That was wacky. My mom who lives east of Toronto could not believe it. That's what I love about living here though. We get great (as in usable) winters and really nice summers. Short summers, but they're nice.

ETA: Sorry, meant to quote M.Ha

I think it's about 15F here. It's been line that for the entire week. I can't function when it's this cold. I had on three layers yesterday.

It's 17 below 0 here with a minus 33 windchill.

chiogirl02 · January 2013

wow I feel for all of you. It is beautiful, sunny, and a great 59 degrees here is south MS. Smile

this is as close to winter is we get it most of the time althought the past 2 weeks have been chilly and we saw a few snowflakes for all of 2 minutes one day.

It's colder than a witch's tit here. But, that's the norm here in the windy city.

melissa0726 · January 2013

It is terribly cold here, compared to the average. I think we usually average with daytime highs around 40*F this time of year, which is totally bearable.

Instead, It has been in the teens and low 20's all week, and it's awful. I'm terrified of the electric bill, the heater has been working overtime

ETA: I do believe it's supposed to warm up and be in the 30's over the next five days. That's after we get 1-3 inches of snow tonight. UGH.

It's cold and snowy here. It's been in the teens and single digits the past week. Today it is 18 with a wind chill of really effing cold.

Shanado, I thought that was a southern saying? I'm impressed you know it!

Today: 19 (f)
This week was cold-- Monday our high was -6 (f)

The issue with our cold is we are hosting the Red Bull Crashed Ice - and they had to postpone parts of yesterdays first runs because it was too cold and the ice was chipping.

Holy crap! I can't imagine it getting so cold they would have to cancel/postpone the races. Wow

It is? I had no idea. I heard this as a child. I always thought it was funny but of course took years for me to figure out what it actually meant!
