Colder than a witches tit!

Don't know what the rest of you guys think about these single digit and sub zero temps, but i think they suck! Its been a while since we have had temps this cold but the coldest I ever remember it here in East Tn was -24F. Don't ever want to see that again-but didnt stop me from riding my little 125 Suzuki ALT three wheeler---the coldest riding I have done. I just can't handle the cold anymore.

I was behind 2 vehicles that blew from not enough antifreeze in them today. I saw where about 15 or so more had blown on the roadways too, while driving around.

We aren't use to this crap in AL.. I took a picture of my dash today cause the temp was lower then my MPG it was 11 degrees. Which is crazy for around here.. Hell they canceled school because it was cold.. I thought that was a bit much, But it was explained to me that some of it was they weren't sure the systems could heat the buildings in these temps. I don't know about what the schools have, but I know most homes here, mine included just have heat pumps with electric heat strips for back up. Gets down much below freezing then heat pumps don't really work Heat strips are pretty much the same as running a big ass blow dryer to heat your house. Not really intended to be your main heat. I bet peoples power meters are spinning like crazy right now.. We are lucky enough to also have a gas fire place on its own thermostat so that makes a huge difference when we get crap like this.

10 at my place this morning. Been up every two hours last night running water. I'm with u Will hate the heat pump!

4 degrees at my house this morning. at 8:30 AM this is unreal. it just don't get that cold here.
usually it would be 45 to 50 degrees in the day time and 30 at night.

25 in Tallahassee Fl this morning...wife is about to freeze....glad I'm in Phoenix.....41 here at daylight! Gonna be 70 today. I get my share of the extreme locations for the winter but this year I lucked out!!

-4 feels like -26 with wind chill BRRRRRR!

We had 7 below zero here this morning with a wind chill of 31 below zero. The forecast high for today here is 7*. Our Brass Monkeys around here are in REAL TROUBLE!       

My buddy lives in Salisbury,PA and he told me this morning that they were -12F and -50 wind chill. It was just -3 here. I'm thinkin bout moving to the Caribbean and getting a job tending bar somewhere.

I think this gal would agree with you but anything below 40 above is too cold for me!

We were doing that here today at work. Heated up some water threw it up in the air....... vapor.......

It has been -3 here overnight. Heat pump running its    off, unvented gas logs in basement on 68 degrees and running, Lennox Brentwood combustion stove cooking as best it can, still had to use a Quartz Heater in the bedroom.

Makes me want to go back to Miami and go to the beach again. I was swimming in a pool there 3 days ago.

I tell you what, my wife has planned a vacation for the family in March. Next year it will be in January.   

-2 for the low and a high of 22 here on the Cumberland Plateau today.

-1 this morning for me. I got the old wood stove a "wolfin" in the basement. It's 75 in the house right now.  

Has anyone tried blowing bubbles in below 0  temps? They freeze and hit the ground!

Went to the mail box this afternoon and just did get back in the house before a Snow Snake got me! You remember Snow Snakes right? They crawl up your ass and freeze you to death!
