Hey another beautiful day today, high of a whole 9 degrees :rolleyes:  :angry:

Be happy it's not -16 like it is here.

 

Hell, our average high was been double digits below 0 over the past week.

 

I'm thankful I don't live in International Falls....I saw the other day that it was like -45 there the other day.

 

I'm happy enough that it is supposed to be above 0 by this weekend. I am looking forward to 5 degree highs. I'll actually be able to go outside then.

-60 degrees farenhiet with the windchill here in Winnipeg over the last couple of days. Hope that makes you all feel a little bit better.

It's been butt cold all over this f***ing country this week, almost hit some record cold here the other day, 6 degrees too warm.

Sorry, I was busy picking fresh oranges off my tree and couldn't post sooner to share your pain. Very tasty this year. We had a fair amount of rain, which really helped. I'm a little sunburned from this past weekend.

 

Do not worry. Soon the warm weather and slush and mud will be everywhere.

This is PRECISELY the reason why I laugh my fool ass off whenever a Southern state gets 2 inches of snow and 857 car accidents!!

 

I honestly don't mind winter, but walking to the bus in -5 weather really bites ass.

Wind chill of like 20 below, it goes WAY beyond "winter weather".

I don't know how I'd deal without all four seasons - it would kinda suck to not experience winter.

Of course, that could be the masochist in me talking....after all, I DO follow the White Sox... :D

LOL!  Try being a Sox fan and a Carolina Hurricanes fan - it don't get much more painful than that!  :bang

Uhhhh....excuse me???

SLACKHAWKS????

HELLOOOOOO????

Didn't the Canes make a really nice playoff run a little while back?

 

DON'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT SUFFERING, YOUNG LADY!!!!!

Supernuke, is that -60 with the wind chill or without? Either way, that'd some cold ass s***. I'll take my -15 below and go sun bathing. :D

 

BTW, Grand Forks, North Dakota hit an all time low this morning of -44 below(well, that is since 1905 when they started keeping track of it all). I'd heard some nasty stories about Grand Forks, but if -44 is the lowest it's ever gotten, that isn't so bad. I've also heard that Williston, North Dakota has gotten to -50.

 

That's nothing compared to that Canada country up north though. :canada

It's windy as f*** where supernuke is, tabletop flat, probably crazy cold. Here I'm looking at about 2+ ft of snow...skiing time!

I think we will bump this thread in honor of the start of the 3-8" of snow we are supposed to get today. :angry:

 

And so help me God, if Tex, PA, or Kap puts what the forecast in TX is going to be, I will board Southwest airlines and kick someones ass

 

(yeah, winter is starting to piss me off :lol: )

It sucks that it will start during rush hour tonight - I have a dinner to go to that I don't want to be late to - my aunt and uncle are here on a surprise visit from Ireland and they will be leaving (assuming their flight isn't canceled) tomorrow - it was a trip that my cousin put together for them. :headbang
