It's way too fucking cold

I mean, it’s OK to be cold at Christmastime, what with the snow and the mittens and the hot buttered rum. But this is fucking ridiculous. It’s the kind of cold that freezes your marrow and ices up your corneas and imbues your brain with coldness. It’s not only so cold your car won’t start, but even the headlights won’t work because the light is frozen thick inside and jammed up the works. It’s cold enough to see your breath shatter. It’s so cold, the cold itself has had enough and wants to come in from the cold. What I am saying, is that it’s too goddamned cold.

You bet it’s cold tonight. It’s damn near down to 55 degrees!!! With a very chilly wind!

It’s too cold.

I say we need -more- global warming.

Plus, no snow. What’s up with that?

We’ve got snow. :slight_smile: And it’s a balmy -30C (-40 windchill) at the moment. I’m liking it.

You know what you can do? My kid turned me on to this, and its really, ah, cool. If its genuinely cold, like -25 F, you get a pot of water up to boiling, then take it outside and toss the water into the air and it goes WOOOF! and turns instantly to snow! You gotta see it to believe it, its really neat!

No kidding? That sounds neat. :wink:

For y’all saying we need more global warming: they’re calling it climate change for a reason. It doesn’t necessarily mean just warmer temperatures–it also means more extreme, severe weather patterns.

You bet it’s cold. It’s 21 F here, which is totally insane freakout cold for us.

We also got a couple inches of snow/sleet today, for the first time in about two years. And since it’s not expected to get above freezing at all in the next two days, we’re probably looking at a white Christmas; I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a thing in the South before. I must admit I am giddily excited at the prospect.

Ugh, I know!! WTH?

I ask again: What the fucking fuck, yo?

It’s -10.7°F right now, little to no wind.

Like I said earlier in chat, this is Minne “might as well be Canada” sota. Snow? Hello?!

My car started today though, so I guess I shouldn’t complain too much.

Different thread

Oh, I forgot to mention:

There’s more snow in Lubbock, TX right now than there is in my backyard.

What the fuck, seriously?

Came south from WA state to Texas for the holidays. Thought it’d just be a little cold, so I just brought my trusty leather jacket and nothing else. Instead, here I am devoutly wishing I’d brought my greatcoat and all my winter stuff south with me.

Rassafraggingrumblemumblemumble…

But hey, who knows? The snow might actually stick!

You will get it.
Four feet.
The morning of April 15.

I’m ticked because I might not be able to go home for Christmas. I was going to spend the holiday with my family, but, because of the snow, the Interstates are shut down in Southern Indiana, so I might not be able to leave until tomorrow, maybe not until Christmas Day. It’ll be worth it, though, if I get to see them for a short weekend.

Fuck. What a time for the weatherman to actually be right. The dumbass is consistently incorrect…until now.

Garrison Keillor (paraphrase): Standing in the woods when its 30 below zero, it is so quiet you can almost hear Nature whisper: “Die!”

It is cold here too. I can only go out and play with the kid in the snow for about 10 minutes at a time. We got about 3 inches of the white stuff yesterday. It was great since we only get it about once every 2 years.
