It might be cold enough to see boiling water turn into snow. I posted vids in this thread. The water gun video is the best visual.
It’s easy enough to try. If it doesn’t work you only lose a few minute filming time.
How cold is it?
It is Og damned cold.
I expect Polar Bears to show up at any moment in Arkansas, crashing through walls and devouring innocents.
My sympathies to you all.
The coldest I’ve ever personally experienced was -20 degrees Fahrenheit, in Colorado.
But as I said in another thread, it’s 80 degrees American in Bangkok. :rolleyes:
Oh, how you suffer!
Eleven here. ELEVEN!
My Amorphophallus konjac are probably going to die.
The lowest it is supposed to be here is 20 F.
Damn Republicans and climate change!
It’s -10.3 now, and very windy. The wind chill has to be down in the -30s. This house is not as insulated as I had thought. I’ve got the furnace cranked up, but it’s down to 59 in here now . . . and dropping. The cats are acting anxious. Of course they think it’s all my fault.
I’ve got “March of the Penguins” on Tivo. Watching it tonight would add an element of realism.
BBC just said someplace there has actually made it illegal to drive on the road except in an emergency. Didn’t catch if it’s a whole state like Illinois or Ohio or just a city like Chicago.
I was thinking of this…

When I was a kid there was a week of temperatures around -40, and one teacher poured a glass of water from a thermos and got an icicle sticking up from the glass.
A BBC reporter tossed a pot of boiling water into the air, and it froze mid-air.
Turn the air conditioner down, Dukey Butt. :rolleyes:
Jesus Christ, I hope it is Arkansas.

Yeah, yeah, I can’t diss eighty degree Siam Sam quickly enough. :rolleyes:
Pardon me while I go take a cold shower to cool off here.
Currently 17F in W. Alabama.
I think it was Indianapolis. But previously, the Long Island Expressway was closed while they removed all the snow. I used to live on Long Island, and believe me, that was a wise decision. Once in 1978 it took me over 4 hours to drive home from work, normally a 10-15 minute drive.
-2 here in Louisville, KY. Cold enough that my car doors were stuck this morning, and my accelerator stuck on the way home from work. I had to abandon it at a gas station.
I came into this thread expecting “How cold is it?” jokes like Carson used to do back when the Tonight Show aired from NYC.
How cold is it?
It’s so cold that the flashers in Times Square are only describing themselves.
Minus 12 C with blowing snow in Toronto. Promising an overnight low of minus 18 C and a high tomorrow of minus 13 C. Plus more ice. :mad:
Last night when it was so windy and the wind chill was - something, I realized the wind was pouring in around my storm door. I hung two blankets between it and the inner door and that has helped. I’ve got to figure out what to do about that when it’s not too damn cold to take a look at it.
My cats apparently think there is something wrong with the floor. They don’t like little cold feet. So I stuffed towels under the closet doors (there are about 2 inches cut off the bottom of them because this place once had shag carpeting). But they still think the couch and bed are the places to be.
I don’t know how many degrees below zero it is here in Michigan but suffice to say it has not been a pleasant night. I arrived home about eight pm (in the midst of blizzard to find my driveway totally blocked by a 3-foot wall of plowed snow, not to mention the 2 feet of fallen snow in the driveway itself.
I had no choice but to park in the street in front of my house, leave my wheelchair in my car and crawl, push and dig my way up my driveway into my house. Luckily I had a garage door opener on me as well as a spare wheelchair inside). 
But by the time I made it to my garage, I was completely and utterly covered in snow and fucking freezing. But I was amped up! That was an extremely, extremely difficult trip and I was done! Ha! Fuck you snow! I hate you with a frostbitten passion! :mad::eek:
Yes, they just had the report again, and it is Indianapolis.
