BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 A friend in southern ME (only about 90 minutes from here) saw -22 this morning - actual temp, not wind chill. I don't dress up my dogs as a rule, but Bz has very little coat and no undercoat (and zero fat) has been wearing a coat every time she goes out the past could of days. And neither dog has been outside for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. Upside to working from home... there's been a fire in the fireplace roaring the past few days. Really glad we got a load of wood right before Christmas! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haha yeah my grandfather bought that for us and proceeded to carry it through 2 buildings at the retirement home he lives at and to my mom's office to give it to her. Just imagine the looks he got then the executive director came in and had to ask if it was real. Haven't actually used them to start a fire yet but they make a good conversation piece.

One of the weather station guys went out with boiling water on this video: http://nhpr.org/post/low-temperature-daily-record-broken-mount-washington-summit#stream/0 I saw that - crazypants!! Yesterday morning they reported -20 with 60mph winds, putting the windchill around -60. It's currently -12 - and that's not the wind chill, it's the actual temp. We haven't seen highs out of the teens in a week, although we may get into the mid-20s Weds-Thurs - just warm enough for snow! LOL Saturday's projected HIGH is 5. Yep, that's the high. And for those of you saying "why in the world would you people live there???" it's unusual for us to get a cold snap like this so early into winter, or one that lasts this long. Poor dogs are going stir crazy because it's too cold for them to go out for more than a quick potty break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that's a veritable heatwave for some folks but round here it just plain too cold. Still trying to get used to it being a new year. I was talking with my mom yesterday saying this amount of cold, its length and earliness is not normal although we do get a cold spell in January. Then it hit me what day it was so I clarified that was late January. She was still laughing over the fact an old lady knew what day it was better than her younger son when we hung up.

I think our high today, is around 34-36 degrees. Simply too cold. But, I don't like cold. I have a friend, who lives in Alaska; she thrives off the stuff. My parents live in E. Washington (state) and mom doesn't think it's winter, unless it's freezing. Yuck. They can have the cold stuff. I don't care for it, at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL!! I generally like winter (yep, I'm the one) but admit this is too cold, too soon, and for too long. Playing in the snow is fun. Not so much when the air hurts your face. DH is over it - actually he was about 2 days into this cold snap. I had to remind him we were only a couple of weeks into winter. Poor guy. Good thing I'm driving him to FL in 6 weeks to "pick up the camper." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 We woke up to -2 this morning. It's not the temp itself that bothers me, having lived my first 35 years in Buffalo, but below 0 in Tennessee is stupid. And the horses are ticked off. Charlie was stomping his foot this morning. It took me a minute, but I finally figured out he was using Morse Code to tell me "let's move further south". BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We would break out the tank tops, when it hit 62... lol.

I was trying to talk Tom into Tampa, as they're showing 75, but he wouldn't have it. Didn't want the extra 200 miles, for 2 nights. Told me to, bring a coat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
