The Artic Plunge!

Ohhh...I feel for ya...It's only going to get up to 26 here today with colder weather on the way. It spit snow this morning on my way out but that's it. It's already stopped. I've been watching the news about the all the cold weather and winter storms and I'm glad we are not there, but it is supposed to get colder here over the course of the week. Stay warm, Grandpa Bob!!

It is 47 degrees here at my house. It was going to 45, but seems to have gone a little higher. And it might rise until this afternoon. But by Friday morning, it will be 13, and the windchill will be down into the single digits. It's going to be cold all this week. It's been in the low 20's every morning. That's cold for our region.

It has to be really bad when your door is frozen shut. I am surprised the car started in those temps.

I saw on the weather this morning about the very cold temps up your way. That black ice is really dangerous. I don't know what our low was here this morning but nothing anywhere close to what you have. We have a red flag warning today, it is very windy, low humidity and we need rain so badly so let's just hope no one starts a fire around here today. Keep warm and be careful if and or when you get out.

Bob, is that picture the inside or outside of your door? It looks like from the picture it is the inside.

Well Bob we finally have some cold weather here in NC, temps are in the 50's today and are supposed to be colder over the next couple of days, but still no snow, or ice. Maybe soon XXXING my fingers. I never feel like the germs are killed until we get a good snow. Maybe that is just wishful thinking on my part, because I do love snow so much. Send good thoughts my way for some of that beautiful white stuff! Hugs Marilyn

Well except for our major storm here for about a week most of the time it has been a mild winter here Thank goodness. We here in Seattle have seen our share of Snow and Cold though this winter, and bad roads. But never anything too bad where you needed an Ice Scraper to be able to get out of your home though.

Would you please hold that cold in Minnesota? I was adviced of your cold weather coming to Chicago today. Black Ice? oh no.... I want to have summer back...!!!!!!!!!! Tonight we will have your weather here... It is not fair Gramdpa Bob!!!

It is minus 13 f here in Winnipeg, but with the wind chill, it is much colder. I was going out today for groceries, but I have to leave it until later. How much later, I do not know because now there is no grocery delivery. The wind chill is so bad, and I am not enjoying this weather one bit. We do not use salt, but we put sand on the road, but not on the side roads, and then the city trucks come and pile the snow and ice on front of our sidewalks. I do not know how long this weather is going to last, but since I cannot drive and my husband's hands are too crippled, we will soon have our remaining teeth fall out from scurvy pretty soon because we have run out of fruit and soon will be out of salad stuff and the only veggies we have are the frozen ones. Oh and we do have bread, meat, and cheese, but we need the fruit and veggies.

it was -21 when I went to work...my car sits outside but it started right away.....I have to say though...I am really really sick of these freaking cold temps. I can stand the snow.....I can stand the wind.....but when it's this cold I really get tired of it in a hurry....can't wait to see the utility bill either! That will be a real treat!

It's fallen 8 degrees in the past hour--it's now 22! It's forecast to get near to zero later this week. I'm cozy in my house but I'm going to put in a sweater in just a minute! I have a garage for my car so it's well taken care of and last winter had no problem, ever, starting! I keep the house at 66 but it feels colder the more the outside temp dips. We're finally getting a little snow now and I hope it keeps up!

We are cold here in NC today, not as cold as you up there in Minnesota though. Temps are hovering at about 26 degrees today with a wind chill cooling it off to the low teens. It is supposed to colder tonight with a chance of snow but I am inside toasty warm at my computer next to the fireplace.

The description of your weather makes mine feel like a balmy summer day. You have mentioned Minnesota several times. I actually have some relatives that live up there somewhere. Not that it really matters, it just comes to mind when I see your discussions.

OMG that's on the inside. Wow how do you stay warm. I have lived in Colorado my whole life and I have never seen anything like that. That's just scary.

I am enjoying the artic blast too, NOT!!!!. I am hoping it don't get that cold down this way, the weather is getting ready to come on.

Right now in Southern Oregon we are unusually warm for this time of year. Usually it would be raining outside/or snowing right now, but we have a warm front over us for the entire week. Just fog in the morning, and then sunshine and highs in the 50's. Our overnight lows are in the high 20's to about 32. Sorry you are having it so cold where you are. It is bad when you have to scrap your door, lol. Stay in and stay warm Grandpa.

yup, your weather is coming our way and it is supposed to be ccccccold over the next few days! oh joy, oh bliss! fortunately i dont have to go to work romorrow nor the next day! which is nice but have to work on friday :-(

[i]Hi Grandpa B, wow..that is very cold! It's 26 deg f here outside and I don't like to go out! I can't stand with this cold! I am sure it will get more colder in a few more days![/i]

Howdy from Nebraska... we are soooo much warmer here today. Only -9 when took kids to school, with windchill of -25!!!! At least our temps are supposed to get above freezing (at 5 above) sometime today! Wind chill warnings abound here in our state also. I do not envy you the black ice warning. That stuff is treacherous. STAY WARM!!!

Goodness that is very cold today. I really do not know how you can stick that. Is it cold in doors with the heating on. It must take your heating to be set high to warm your house. The weather is a lot milder here. It is 7 degrees centigrade here and it feels more comfortable. I am even thinking of going out and tidting up my garden soon. I feel sorry for you having to use an ice scrapper to be able to get out of your house. I hate black ice. It is very dangerous and I hate driving in it. Be careful if you go out.
