Title: Winter Post by: Hunter on January 06, 2014, 08:05:49 pm I'm still enjoying my weather here, around mid 80s day time and mid 70s night time.
How's the weather for you people back home? Title: Re: Winter Post by: Takishi on January 06, 2014, 08:10:18 pm Negative 3, wind chill is neg 25. Walked a block to work this evening and thought my face was on fire and boogers were frozen...
Title: Re: Winter Post by: huffdady on January 06, 2014, 08:11:37 pm Dallas is 30's during the day and 20's during the night. For us, it cold as a mofo. We are used to 80+'s.
Title: Re: Winter Post by: Dinadas on January 06, 2014, 08:13:39 pm It was 54 today and a projected low over night of 8 or -8 something crazy like that.
Title: Re: Winter Post by: Clegane on January 06, 2014, 08:13:48 pm Also in Dallas, can confirm. Where's our heat, man?

Title: Re: Winter Post by: Hunter on January 06, 2014, 08:25:14 pm Stupid question, but do people in the south even have winter supplies? Hat? Gloves? Coat?
Title: Re: Winter Post by: Gannicus on January 06, 2014, 08:28:47 pm Stupid question, but do people in the south even have winter supplies? Hat? Gloves? Coat? If they don't, I bet they are kicking themselves in the arse right about now. Title: Re: Winter Post by: Hunter on January 06, 2014, 08:30:50 pm I didn't say pants though, cause I've seen plenty of people in the south wear blue jeans even on 90 degree days /ponder.
Title: Re: Winter Post by: lillyg on January 06, 2014, 08:36:36 pm In Northwest Iowa it was -25 with wind chills of -40 to -60 here the last 24 hours, currently -7 windchill of -30....... we forgot what heat was... wish i was in Dallas!!
Title: Re: Winter Post by: Nexxel on January 06, 2014, 08:39:34 pm -9 right now, with wind chill down to -37. :o
Took me three and half hours to clear my driveway and 2 other neighbors with my tractor and snow thrower. Official snow fall was 17" with drifts as high as 48' (taller then my dog) and cold ass all hell in Flint Michigan. (http://www.funnysigns.net/files/hell-froze-over-400x221.jpg) Title: Re: Winter Post by: ZerarWarrior on January 06, 2014, 08:49:57 pm Well my happy ass is in basically Houston, and I work outdoors (looking back maybe not such a good idea) and it was a high of 36 today... high of 27 tomorrow.
To give perspective, giant winter coats get broken out here when it gets to a balmy 55.... so 27 is basically shutting everything down. People here literally have no idea what to do in this "cold" Of course we are used to 95 with 210% humidity 8 months out of the year. :o Title: Re: Winter Post by: Fjord on January 06, 2014, 09:09:54 pm It's 5 degrees here in Buffalo, which isn't that bad to be honest. Apparently we could get up to 3ft by tomorrow night though with lake effect snow.
Title: Re: Winter Post by: Yaedien on January 06, 2014, 09:24:59 pm I'm from the south and basically my winter clothes consist of a fleece jacket, but have a heavier one if it gets down to around 0, normally it doesn't. Every few years it does manage to get down that cold though :P
But being in Vietnam right now its around 80, so i am not missing the winter in the USA right now lol Title: Re: Winter Post by: Hunter on January 06, 2014, 09:26:24 pm But being in Vietnam right now its around 80, so i am not missing the winter in the USA right now lol +1 I got mid 80's day time here myself, then sun goes down at 6pm and gets into mid 70s. I hope it warms up by time I get back.

Official snow fall was 17" with drifts as high as 48' (taller then my dog) and cold ass all hell in Flint Michigan. I hope that's a typo... drifts as high as 48 feet? Title: Re: Winter Post by: Fjord on January 06, 2014, 09:35:16 pm I'm from the south and basically my winter clothes consist of a fleece jacket, but have a heavier one if it gets down to around 0, normally it doesn't. That's my strategy. I typically don't do more than a fleece or running gloves unless I'm skiing or tailgating at a football game. Title: Re: Winter Post by: Nexxel on January 06, 2014, 09:40:48 pm -9 right now, with wind chill down to -37. :o Took me three and half hours to clear my driveway and 2 other neighbors with my tractor and snow thrower.

Oops :o hehe yea 48" though...the end of my neighbors house is drifted over from house to fence line (15-20 ft away) to the peak of his house. Got a pic should upload it somwhere.. peak im guessing is 16ft from ground to top of roof as he has a 10ft ceiling in his garage. I have no idea what hes goin to do, theres 2 windows on that side of the house and you cant see them, .. luckyly its the opisate end that has the gardage.. Title: Re: Winter Post by: Hunter on January 06, 2014, 09:46:41 pm You all should start posting more pictures of this winter storm!
Title: Re: Winter Post by: Chunka on January 06, 2014, 09:56:30 pm Record lows all around the world. I guess it has to do with the polar vortex (kind of a slow moving artic cyclone several hundred miles wide) drawing air and strong winds south. And, of course, the Warmist fanatics are quick to blame global war.....errrr, climate cha.....ummm, damn, sorry....ManbearPig.

Title: Re: Winter Post by: huffdady on January 06, 2014, 10:31:28 pm Stupid question, but do people in the south even have winter supplies? Hat? Gloves? Coat? That is a negative good sir, Title: Re: Winter Post by: hateborne on January 06, 2014, 10:43:05 pm Stupid question, but do people in the south even have winter supplies? Hat? Gloves? Coat? That is a negative good sir, In Knoxville (previously Chattanooga) TN, no I do not. We've had such weak and mild winters for the past several years, that almost none of my family (at least siblings) have decent ultra cold weather coats. -Hate Title: Re: Winter Post by: Denzig on January 07, 2014, 04:37:11 am In Carolina they've delayed school opening for 3 hours this morning...because it's 17 degrees. No ice, no snow, just cold. Funny to me (a transplanted NYer).
Title: Re: Winter Post by: Adidis on January 07, 2014, 05:17:00 am In Carolina they've delayed school opening for 3 hours this morning...because it's 17 degrees. No ice, no snow, just cold. Funny to me (a transplanted NYer). This sounds like insanity to me. I'm fairly certain I went to school when it was -20 out as a kid (Not that I'm that old). I guess different states are just different and in Alaska we are the craziest. Title: Re: Winter Post by: Tankdan on January 07, 2014, 06:49:04 am 67-62-63-68-66 degrees this week according to Weather Channel
Such is life in California. One of the ONLY good things about this state. Title: Re: Winter Post by: Dinadas on January 07, 2014, 06:54:23 am We had a 2 hour delay but the "feels like temp is -10 to -20 with the wind chill" Don't want kids waiting for buses in that i suppose, and lots of black ice.
Title: Re: Winter Post by: Eruditeone on January 07, 2014, 08:31:24 am Its 9:30am on the central east coast of Florida, and it is 33*, 25* with the wind chill. Working outside in the afternoon/night suuuucccckkkkksssss. Was in the 20s over night, the high today; 45*, then back to below freezing tonight.
Title: Re: Winter Post by: balidet on January 07, 2014, 12:38:33 pm they close schools bases on what people are prepared for... if you live in Alaska (I have) you are generally ready for winter (have winter clothes)....ifyou live in Georgia your winter cloths probably consist of jeans and a sweatshirt...possibly a hoddie....you are not ready to be out in the 20 degree weather...that is why...
Title: Re: Winter Post by: Goth on January 07, 2014, 01:05:47 pm I live the GTA ... (Greater Toronto Area) Canada, it was -27 with the windchill of -40 this morning when i got up.
I'm not sure how to post pics ... I emailed Hunter a picture of the walk way beside my house about 2 weeks ago of the ice storm we had then. Our power was out for 5 days from that ... thankfully it was restored Christmas Eve maybe Hunter can post the pic for me Title: Re: Winter Post by: Solbash on January 12, 2014, 05:03:05 pm South central Mississippi stayed under freezing for 72 hours, being i work outside doing plumbing, it definitely was colder than most people anticipated. We are still backed up with work almost a half a week after things started thawing out.
