That's how
cold it was at Casa Ajax this morning. With the wind
chill, -14!
How cold was it? When I let the poor dog out, a band of
Brass Monkeys ran past clutching their groins. That's pretty
darn cold!

Ajax, that
is warm. It is -12 here, with a WC of -35.
Our dog is teaching himself how to use the toilet as we
speak.

Before Ed moved
out here from CA I'd tease him when he told me it
was cold. I'd ask how cold and generally the response
was low 50's maybe mid to high 40's if it was reeeeeeeally
cold (insert giggle here) I told him cold was when
the dog went outside to do his doo doo and ended
up with an icicle.
Needless to say he's handling this cold snap in fits and
starts. Over-all better than I might expect actually. We've
not had a really bad winter since he's moved here so I'm
waiting for the big one to hit to see what he really will
do.
All I know is that it's purty durn cold. I just loved finding
I had a soft tire last night after work and having to add
some air while I scraped ice from the windows-around midnight.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
It has been dang WARM in the boonies which has been
good for me and my kids but my hubby and my brothers
did that weird snow dance a few days to get more
snow so they could go skiing! But then again, they're
having a blast golfing.
Sheesh!

Long Island
reporting in: currently (5:30 pm) it is 18 degrees,
dipping down to a low of 7 tonight. Balmy by some
of your standards, but we just aren't used to this
here for prolonged periods of time.
The kids across the street got a hockey rink for Christmas
and their father set it up the day after and was worrying
that it would not be cold enough to freeze and stay frozen.
Silly him!

The weather
update from Agawam, Massachusetts is looking pretty
cold. Right now, it is -1º. The wind hasn't been
as bad as yesterday, but it is still blowing. The
wind chill is just around -10º.
And, I don't want to hear any of this wimp stuff, Robb!!  I
am not a wimp. I am a petite flower that needs to be kept
warm, and out of the wind. We petite flowers are very fragile,
you know.
I am actually okay with this weather. The sun has been
shining, for the most part. I love that! All you need is
a window with the sun shining through it, and you have
instant warmth.

We have a nice flat backyard and I've been tempted to get
one of those inflatable hockey rinks for my kids, but up
till this year no way would it have stayed frozen longer
than a day. This year it would've been great. Who knew?
Currently 11 degrees with a windchill of 2 here in NJ brrrrr.

some fairly stiff winds here in SW Ohio. I know it's
a bit colder in some other places but.....
I gotta get dressed and go out and work in this crap.

My son and I were just talking about this on the way home
from school today. It's 15 with somewhere in the minus
with windchill, I really didn't want to know. I told him,
remember when we use to think 60 degrees was cold back
in CA and everyone wore coats? Shoot, now we can go back
wearing shorts in 60 degrees!

As bad as I
feel for Ahnalira that it's so cold down there, I
have to admit a little devilish glee because someone
who has been incredibly nasty to me is down there
on her vacation right now.

My turn to
check in. Yeah, it's cold here in Chicago but it's
my office I will talk about. See, I have temperature
control problems in here. Was still running the window
air conditioner last week. I guess it takes sub-zero
temps to cool it off as it was 47 degrees IN MY OFFICE
yesterday when I came in. Today it's a balmy 58.
Yes, I finally had to turn on the space heater. Facilites
Management is getting a big laugh out of this since
every office I have moved to here has these problems.
None as bad as this particular office though.

Well, we're
on our third no school snow day in a row, despite
there being NO FREAKIN' SNOW! We got the tiniest
dusting of snow last night, and it was gone by morning,
but they called off school anyway. Guess other parts
of the mountains got some snow, but this is ridiculous!
I'm going crazy having two kids home at once! It's
a beautiful day though, so maybe we'll walk to the
park.

The thermometer
on the deck registered -10 this morning. The snow
squeeked like two pieces of styrofoam beong rubbed
together when you stepped on it, and my truck groaned
like hell when I turned the starter.
The dog had to pee, but tried to bolt back in when her
nose hit the cold air. I made her stay out until she finished
her business, during which she looked at me with the most
pathetic expression that I've ever seen on her face.
I'd be sad too if I had to lay my equipment in a snowbank
when it was -10.

Good to see you out & about!
Yup, it is indeed cold. We're supposed to hit a balmy 32
tomorrow. I'm gonna work on my tan.
