So, so cold

[WarriorAngel]

Wow WarriorAngel... that's really FREEZING. :O

Just a wee bit.

The best part?

It's supposed to get colder tomorrow. Yay, more vodka!

It could be worse...

Be sure to have plenty of orange juice to go with that Vodka. You know, for balanced nutrition.

We had -7F, yesterday and similar the day before. I don't know what the windchill was, but there was a strong NW wind. Today is a seemingly balmy 7.

I used to live up north. Haha don't miss digging my car out of the snow an hour before I even have to leave for work!

34 right now!

Yep, I know when we lived in Montana (courtesy of the government) back in 1968, the average temperature was 50 degrees below zero Farenhiet. (The next summer, people were walking around with "I survived the winter of '68 tee-shirts" ) Remember my husband having to wear special boots and only being allowed to be outside a certain amount of time--to prevent frostbite.

Alaska has those real cold temperatures and I'm sure that those of you in some of the areas of Canada also experience those uber-cold temps.

California had a frost and balmy 20 degrees last week.
Farmers/crop growers are worried - obviously - who grow citrus.
And i hear - advocados and whatever else cannot withstand the chilling temps.

This happened a few years ago too. Florida has seen very cold temps as well. So between Fl and Ca - our citrus prices are sky high.

Found this on Facebook and couldnt resist posting it.

I bet!
I much prefer the heat. I'd love to see Alaska but it's such a challenge to survive the elements in either time of year due to either the freezing cold in winter, or the mosquitoes that can drain you dry in summer.

I love this cartoon series.

Even though it's brutal cold, I much rather have this than the sweltering heat.

Add in another sweater, some gloves, a scarf, some vodka in your system and you're golden. You can control how warm you are.

Come summertime...oh boy. You can put on as little and as light clothing as you own but there's no way getting around the heat/humidity. Can't walk around town in the nude, but even then, I doubt it would help.

ROTFLOL! Experiencing some 'shrinkage' are ya?

I prefer hot weather. I can jump into a pool or cold bath or shower that cools me off for hours.
Plus swimming is much funner than shivering.

My posts are in fahrenheit.

Crystal - my friend who lives on top of the mountain had frozen pipes last night [still not sure if it is unfrozen today]. She lives in a trailer. They always have problems without pipes being in some basement or insulated area.

Yes, I live in a house, but it has no basement and the pipes tend to freeze if it's colder than 10 degrees. It's a major hassle.

Before we had the house put in - we lived in a trailer - happened every single time it got so cold.

I put a space heater in the bathroom, so I could at least keep the pipes from bursting. So far, so good.

Warrior Angel has your friend considered switching to Pex pipes or putting on heat tape?

It is currently 13 F in Boston.

It was so cold today, that I saw a politician with his hand in his own pocket. LOL
I stole that joke.
