Fireplace roaring for last 12 hours but the heat is cutting in anyways
as you'd expect. Wind chill now about 15F. Dropping to -5F over the
night. Houses this far south are not built for this. I hve to go back
a decade to recall weather in the teens here and I do not recall the
wind chill ever being below 10F.

Want stupid? South of us they are delaying school 1 hour so it's a bit
warmer and light out. Here where it is colder, no call at all on it.

Making last of the Ham up into a hambone soup in the crockpot..

Here in CT it is about 12 right now and -4 in the AM. Winf chell
expected to be -30F.

Delay here is 90 minutes. I imagine the bus companies will have
problems getting some of them started.

My car will be warm as I have a remote starter and he seat heater is in
the "on" position. At work I can park inside where it is about 45 degrees.

Here in SE Texas it got down to 27 (wind chill of 23) and some people
think it is Armageddon.

This morning, someone (I won't mention names) told me that she wasn't
leaving the house until March.

About a decade ago they redid the equation for wind chill. The new
numbers aren't as extreme as the old ones were. For a given real temp
and windspeed the new windchill is higher now than it used to be. Which
makes your current situation even more extreme.

just remember:
hot out = global warming
cold out = global warming
bad storm = global warming
no storms = global warming
arctic ice melting = global warming
most arctic ice on record = global warming.

It got down to 40 here. It's also windy. Going to yoga anyway.

Can one do yoga in a down parka?

Weather people are trying to replace economists as the
dismal discipline. I think some of them could find something
bad to say about a sunny spring day.

I have no heat on in the house although it is 65.1 degrees in here. 39
degrees outside. I might turn the heat on later if the temp. doesn't warm
up like they said it would. Normally I would be in bed now but a little
GERD attack drove me up and in search of the Gaviscon. Back to bed with me
as soon as that kicks in.

The weird thing was the fog here. We encountered it in Woodinville but it
eventually reached here around 11:00 p.m. when we were hauling the cans to
the street. So wet that you could feel it in the air! That's just highly
unusual for it to be that dense and thick or even to be here at all this
time of year. Normally we do get a little in the spring. But not now.

Huh... you need a down parka at 40ºF... that's a heat wave compared to
the -7ºF I woke up to this morning, and I went out to feed birds and
cats in my cotton flannel sleeping PJ (just the long top, no bottom)
and flip flops... but I wore my new llama hat:

I don't even wear a jacket at 40! Has to be below freezing before I'll even
consider wearing that.

A dozen successive suryanamaskars should warm you up nicely.

Hey Shel, kinda dangerous, no? I knew a very elderly man who 'ran out for his paper' in 16 degree weather, fell onto the snow and if it hadn't been for a passing neighbor..........just a word to the wise. And he didn't live out in the sticks, either. Is anyone checking on YOU?

My thermostat is set on 74 and sometimes it's 75 in here and I still feel cold at times.

I once got stuck in the snow in NY and I was dressed properly. I had gone
out to drive my daughter down to the bus stop. But there was so much ice
out there, I couldn't walk on it to get to my car. I may have just kept her
home that day. I can't remember now. Another time when it was like that,
my husband drove her down there. We were living in military housing at the
time and they were usually very good at plowing the streets but on occasion
the thick ice would set in by morning before they could get out and do
something about it.

At any rate, no neighbors were home. No one within earshot anyway. Not
that they really could have done much to help me. They had either gone to
the bus (not sure how they got down there) or left for work.

I realized that trying to walk on the sidewalk was futile. There was so
much ice that I kept slipping. So I thought I would cut through the grass,
go up along the edge of the bushes and get to my door that way. But the
snow was so deep that I somehow lost my way in attempting to walk in it and
instead of heading towards my door, I was going more towards the building
next door. And then I just sort of fell. The ground was rather hilly there
and my feet just slipped out from under me and I fell down in the very deep
snow. From there it was just plain horrible.

Once I get down on the ground or the floor I have a heck of a time getting
back up without something to grab onto. And there wasn't much to grab onto
out in that huge yard. I just kept making failed attempts, flailing around
and freezing, sort of crawling through it all, getting snow in my eyes and
nose until I finally bumped into the trunk of this skinny little tree. I
managed to pull myself up but I was so exhausted by then and due to my
fibromyalgia, my muscles had locked up on me. I began crying then, tears
freezing to my face.

Obviously I did get back inside although now I can't really remember how.
But now? When it snows, I just stay inside.

You need to have your thyroid checked!

I didn't know llamas made hats :-)

Seriously, when it's anything under 50° around here, we all bundle up

Or maybe they're anemic, or maybe they lost 100 pounds and no longer have
the insulation they are used to, or..., or.....

You really need to stop giving out medical suggestions.

No, I don't. I know him from the diabetes newsgroup. We talk medical stuff
all the time. And you can go hang too! I hear the Teeter Hang-ups are good

Was it snow or was it ice. I have dealt with snow and ice all my life.
If there is enough snow to get stuck in you won't be slipping on the ice.

A few years ago it was -31 here, -25 the nite before, the 2 coldest night I've ever seen. When I was at WVU it got down to -15 1 nite but the next day it only got up to -10, -10 is super cold for a high.

Snow so deep she couldn't tell which direction she was walking. Sounds
suspiciously like an old episode of Little House on the Prairie.

jinx, I think you're right! I seem to I remember that episode. Kids
trapped in a blizzard. So sorry their mom's couldn't drive them to the
bus stop. Heh.

As for Sheldon, he really should put some pants on. Maybe he prefers to
walk outside in the snow to feed the animals wearing only a nightshirt.

Why are you making such nasty evil mouthed assumptions... I'm not
elderly, and what makes you think I'm all alone... just because you're
all the time posting your personal minutia doesn't mean everyone is so
loose lipped. This is a Newsgroup about food/cooking... NOT about
your wretched diseases, your philandering SO, and your whoring spawn.
