Frozen Wasteland

It's -10.5C (13F) outside. I have no desire to leave the confines of my home.

It is near zero here and it is snoooooowing!!!!

2C outside and very windy. Feeling very rough today with a very bad headache (which tablets are holding off a bit) and early cold/flu symptoms, which I'm definitely hoping won't develop any further.

That's cold.

Also, it's cold here (not that cold), but no snow. The weather people lied to me...

It was -5 F when I left my house at 5 this morning. When i walked out the door I came very close to turning right around and calling in "sick".

*brings a hot water bottle*
A measly -2 here.

[identity profile] regina-of-york.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
13 degrees F would be a major heat wave here! It's currently a measly 1F, with a wind chill factor that makes it feel like -14F.

Winter is coming, my ass. Winter is HERE, damn it!

Brrrrr. *hands blanket and hot toddy*

And I thought -5 was complaint material already.

It didn't feel as cold as I thought it would be....and I'm surprised by today's attendance rates!

That's not fair! I hate it when they predict snow, and then you get naught but grey skies and the dreams of a beautiful snowscape.

Yeah, Boston is getting a kicking this year. The only thing worse than walking to a cold subway station is having to warm up a frozen-ass car.

I have no idea what temperature it was when Doug left for work this AM. Not -5F, but cold enough. I could never survive in the Midwest.

Does the sun ever shine in Ireland?

[identity profile] xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Bah. I know. I was explaining to my parents how, by February, I'll be looking forward to the -2C (30F) weather as "quite warm."

Germany is much more sane in these arenas, although the damp cold of Berlin damned near killed me.

Wait for more Lake Effect. ;-)

hide inside and stay warm! grog helps

[identity profile] xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
damn, I could do with some snow. or, you know, some tropical breezes and a fruity gin drink.

I thought you lived in the Land of Unending Summer?

[identity profile] after-nightfall.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish.
I live in the Pit of Perpetual Fog'n'Smog.

[identity profile] hereward77.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I want my bloody snow, weatherbastards!

[identity profile] isis-newton.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Think there is some snow oop north. But as they were only forecast to get ~5cm up there, I reckon we'll get about 5mm, if that. Booo!

[identity profile] misunderstruck.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I misread that as the Pit of Perpetual Fog'n'Snog.

[identity profile] isis-newton.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Come on, they did say 'snow flurries' or something equally twee.

I want snow too though. It might as well snow if it's going to be this cold, I always say.

[identity profile] xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
hahahaha.

Yeah, but if it shines in winter, it's gonna be cold.

Damn, I'm getting colder just thinking about it.

[identity profile] werthead.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
What I hate is when it is freezing and then it decides to rain. If it was snowing, no problem, but actual ice-cold liquid water? How is that fair?

[identity profile] odiedragon.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, what he said. It got up to 1F on my drive into work about an hour later.

Get this - it's supposed to be 45F this weekend!!!

[identity profile] knightofredempt.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Only when your not looking ;-)

[identity profile] bazzlebane.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Close to 60 and sunny, and it will be warmer by noon.

[identity profile] werthead.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks like everybody's coming to your house on holiday then ;-)

What would you call half a flurry? Dublin had one of those this afternoon - snow was falling to within inches of the ground, but then the flakes didn't just melt, they apparently evaporated -- there was no trace on cars or on the ground. Mind you, I'm still surprised the driving didn't come to a screeching halt.

[identity profile] fenryng.livejournal.com 2008-01-03 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I can deal with the cold, despite the fact that it sucks.

What I hate is the snow, because other than the very rare snowball off of someone's head, I do no winter sports, so it is totally useless to me.

I am trying depaerately to move up near where you live JUST because I want to live where it snows. Move to Austin. There is no snow :(

[identity profile] bazzlebane.livejournal.com 2008-01-04 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I spoke too soon. It ended up pissing down rain all afternoon.
