A little cold this morning

[KitchenKitten99]

Isn't it like -30 by you too? And yeah, I am a whiny bitch!! LOL And will continue to be when it goes below 32 and above 95!! Kudos to you for taking care of the animals!!!

Tonight's windchill is that (-25 to -35) but I don't pay much attention to weather other than to know when to take horse blankets off or leave them on or if I need to text my step- brother to plow us out. Oh and if it's warm enough to ride (20 & up with little wind).

Those were the good 'ol days! (and yes, Larchmont/Mamaroneck is same town/village)

We have about a 1/8th of a inch of snow on the ground and a very light snow falling, and yes schools are closed. My boys who usually are praying for schools to close are all upset, they had their first middle school baseball game this afternoon and now it will have to be rescheduled

There is an ice/snow mix on the ground in the Dallas area and pretty much everything is closed. Primarily because no one has all-weather tires and very few people know how to drive in the conditions.

Hooray, broke the low temperature record for Feb. 24th set in 1948 & tied in 1996 by 12 degrees at -11 at 5:51 this morning. Kicking ass here in the Northeast and celebrating all day.

It is still Winter in the Northern hemisphere. The first day of Spring is March 21st.

So, I'm a killjoy? Pragmatic too!

Everyone is talking like this super cold weather is something NEW?

We all have such short memories, and has anyone noticed.

Whenever YOU tell somebody how cold it is where YOU are. They always take such great pleasure in

telling you A LOWER TEMPERATURE, or worst conditions because...EVERYBODY ALWAYS HAS TO BE BETTER.

Memory's a funny thing.

Wait for a ten degree rise in temperature .. however brief. Then sit back and see a 'Global Warming Is Here Again' thread develop ....

Happily, the UK isn't experiencing extremes in temperature .. it's been a fairly run-of-the-mill winter over here (maybe a bit on the warm side, if anything). We've had a couple of cold snaps - nothing extreme - and now temperatures are ranging between around 8 degrees C in daytime and just above freezing at night. Fairly typical for this time of year.

None of this will be instructive to anyone here, of course. The first sign of any heatwave, even if we have to wait until summer for one (!!!) and the doom-mongers will be in full cry once more.

Right you are! I believe, since our pretend president has announced that Global Warming is more dangerous than ISIS, or ISIL. All of us should donate a few ObamaBucks, and buy snow shovels that can be delivered to the WHITE HOUSE.
And they (shovels) should be marked "GLOBAL WARMING TOOLS".

Good one.

Logically ... if Obama is so sure that 'global warming' is more of a threat than ISIS ... is he therefore guaranteeing that we'll see signs of global warming before any ISIS threat materialises ? If so, any story we hear of any ISIS atrocity (e.g more captive beheadings, say ..) must be bogus, if not preceded by a heatwave in the continental US .....

Seems as if there is only ONE REAL WAY Obama will ever dare admit ISIS, or ISIL are a threat, and related to Islamic Terrorists. And sadly...that ONE WAY will probably be when our WHITE HOUSE is attacked, and burned down for the SECOND time in our history.

But then again. With all of the Muslim Brotherhood Protection the Obama's have around them. Maybe they would make Obama their MARTYR, and make Obama watch the beheadings of his two daughters, and Moochell???

Yes, I know it gets colder at other places, but I'm not there! My ass is tiring of the snow and cold weather. Knock on wood, at least I don't have to shovel today.

And Gabby, don't you dare come in here and brag about how awesome and warm it is in Huntington. Same for you, Ms. Kathianna in Sedona!! I'm suffering here, have sympathy!!

I bloody HATE cold weather/the winter. In my best whine....I wanna go to Miami!!!

We're expecting a couple of inches of snow tonite....to go with the ice we've already had.

Yuck.

Yes the schools where closed and I agree Gabs, of course if the roads had snow on them that is Today they are calling for snow coming in late in the day ( early evening ) so schools are letting out early, they are calling for 1 to 3 inches and if we do get that much school will be done for the week. We have no real equipment to clear the roads and Gabs you are exactly right folks have no idea how to drive in it, heck if the clouds are white people panic in the winter down here

But on a positive note, the food stores love it, when the weatherman calls for any kind of wintery mix you can't find a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk, people must plan on living on milk and bread.

This past Monday was the first Monday in my area that school was not canceled due to snow & ice since Jan. 5th. Lotta 3 day weekends for the kids.

On a side note, I can walk across the Delaware River to Jersey.

You know it's cold outside when people are looking to Alaska for warmth!!
