Dear god it's cold.
 

I don't know about the rest of the country but here in Kentucky it's cold enough that you can pull off the turning hot water into insta-snow just by throwing it outside trick.(I tried it myself using the hot water from the coffee maker and it does work.) Anyone else feeling the effects of the cold?

Is it wrong to point out, that we have 10°C above freezing.
In an Alpine country :)

I've been reading about the "polar vortex" but it hasn't come this far west. We're having the same 20-30F we've had all along.

57 when I got up this morning at 7am, with pouring rain. Now it's it's a cloudy 39 with occasional snow flurries. By tomorrow morning it's supposed to be 5 degrees with a high of 11. So much for your Global Warming Al Gore. :O:

On todays weather news, the computer generated predicted path dhows it will soon be hitting Texas.

I'm south of you in Bawlmer MD :88) Going to get cold for basically a day from what I heard. Next weekend summer weather in the 50 degree range!

The needle was between 15 and 16F this morning on my front porch... its been a long time since i have seen teen temps linger on here for more than a coupe of hours. Its lunch now... and we are just now in the low 20s... I remember some COLD winters growing up in Texas, even considerable amounts of snow and sleet. But it never really lasts for more than a couple of days.

Hell i remember one April Fools day a few years ago it started snowing massive flakes even by ski country standards around 8 am. by lunch we had accumulated about a 5 inch blanket of snow on every exposed surface... by 6pm it was all melting away as the temp had raised into the 60s, the next day we were in the 80s again.

We are forecast to ditch the teens and 20s and will be in the high 60s again by the end of the week.

I'm there with you, Admiral. How do you do the snow trick?

Heat up some water with your coffee maker and once that's done all you have to do is pour it into a cup and throw the water outside.(Make sure to not let go of the cup though.)

:o
You mean We're not supposs to throw it through the side car window?
DAMN!
:nope:
:D

-10 F here and falling with 40 MPH gusts.

Chicago is now colder than the south pole:

<O>

I'm wondering how many cups you got through before figuring that out?

It was -13 below at my house last night, with a wind chill of -35 F.

The cold is supposed to move East now though and be right around the freezing mark (32F) here by Wednesday.

Only took me one.

Could use a flask, just ensure it's a metal one :)
