brrrrrr

It's 15F here ... My friend in Anchorage just emailed me and said it's 40 there today. :thud:

Yes, Fahrenheit - my math deprived brain doesn't even know how to convert that to celcius. (Obviously, I can't spell it either)!

Oh, I can't think of the conversion either so I let the computer handle that. All I know is that when it's in the negative numbers in Celsius, Fahrenheit numbers are still positive. So imagine my shock when I saw all these negative numbers. Brr indeed! It's 38 F here.

Do you want to hear how nice it is here? Low 60's and sunny! We are going to play at the park after school! Hate me now but all of us Arizonans will be singing the heat blues in about 4 months! Right ladies? Remember the 115 degree week last year? Ok, I will stop :!

True, very true but in the meantime... :c (We need a stick out your tongue emoticon!) :>

Do your kids stand at the school bus when its that cold ?

Went for a run today, and made it ALL the way AROUND THE BLOCK, before my lower eyelid froze to my eyeball!!! So much for not letting the cold keep me from my marathon training. Stinkin' cold!!

It is always warm here in FL I miss the cold sometimes...

Right now without the windchill it's -29. Holy crap.

Yesterday I treated myself to some heavy duty night cream. My skin was starting to revolt! As I walked the 5 seconds from my car to the building, my whole face almost became numb.

Just flippin nuts.

It is currently -14 here with windchill of -30. Yesterday I went to the store and was so pissed b/c some jerk off stole my parking space which meant I had to walk farther, that is just rude - but in this weather it is ruder than rude.

It's really bad out. Between the apt and where our car is parked is very close, but you have to cross a street. There was a gust of wind and it took my breath away while I was waiting for the light to change (yes, one of those things that we do in Seattle) . The wind was so strong and SO cold.

[Bittersweet]

We’re at a balmy 4F today. I’m more than ready for this cold snap to be over.

[Gwendolyn]

Cold....so very cold....might...die.... :{

[Gwendolyn]

Seriously. They closed the schools today because it is so cold! In the heat you worry about dehydration and sunburn...easily prevented conditions in everyday life...the cold might claim an appendage while walking from the parking structure to your, oh, say, office! By the time I reached my building a mere block away, I was worried that I might not be able to continue to make my legs work!!! I officially hate winter and the Midwest for making it so horribly cold.

Ok- I have to whine about the way this unreasonable cold stuff is handled. Ok, so people choose to live somewhere where the windchill is below zero. I don't really understand that, but whatever. However, reasonable accomodations should be made. In Florida we had these beautiful things called Farm Stores --- sort of like a drive-up 7-11. You could get a gallon of milk, or some bread, and yes - even beer without leaving the car. This would make SO much sense here! Where are the drive up stores? Where? Yesterday I warmed up my car, threw the kids in and drove to McDonalds and bought 4 individual milks to get us through until today

Also- no valet....anywhere. This is the first place I have ever lived where there is no valet at the mall. Not that I ever needed valet before, but I sure would use it now! It would keep you from having to throw your kids back into a freezing cold car. Teenage boys could make a fortune with a car warming service at shopping centers.

Ugh. I just don't understand.
