-9 right now, with wind chill down to -37.  Shocked

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.

I hope that's a typo...  drifts as high as 48 feet?

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.

Oops  Shocked 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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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.
