Baby its cold outside!

Hi Elic, that's cold, even for us crazy centigrade types. It sounds like you go from one extreme to the other, a bit like here. Today we have an extremely beautiful day with blue skies and sunshine, I'd imagine it's up in your 70's. The longer it lasts the better, as last winter was hell. On the down side we are once again without water.

Even though we know that there is cold weather to be had, we don't like it! The winter months are not my favorite. Even the southern most states are experiencing colder temperatures. Freaky.

I've heard of a Bear Hug,before..but That many moggies on top must be like the feline equivalent! Don't you get into the bed before they do? I only had the one cat,but when it was cold,sometimes I'd wake up with a furry Hat,and I KNEW I didn't go to bed with a moustache!

I've heard in some areas of Texas as having snow as well. But wow that IS unusual weather for Texas...We're supposed to go into the deep freeze beginning tomorrow with temps not much higher, and the wind factor will of course make it feel colder--it wasn't unusual for me to have that many cats on my bed when I used to have more...as it is with just two they feel like a hundred pounds each---And yeah, where's global warming???

I was 7 degrees when I got up this morning in Ohio. We got 4 inches of snow yesterday and will probably add an inch today. Wind chill factor is 2 degrees! All that global warming is ridiculous. Still, sorry you are cold! How do you make that degree sign?

Burrr. I think for once I must agree--I could use some of that hot fantasy Algore has about the earth heating up, myself! I'm freezing (even wearing my fuzzy slippers & wooly cape!), but I refuse, after finally getting my electric bill cut by $30(!), to turn on the heater! I meant it when I asked if I could rent some of your furry herd!!! BRRRR! Even I can get too cold sometimes! Maggiepie HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY 2010!

Well, if you read my latest discussion - we could need some of your cats here to warm the house.. Actually, it has been pretty warm indoors, but -30C is really cold outdoors - and the air gets so dry that even the toilet paper gets electric... At the moment we have about -3C, that is really warm for being in January..Global warming is on again..

Looks like the whole deep south is in a freeze like this. guess ya need to buy some coats to have for this type of weather no one is exempt from very cold d ays it looks like . and global warming is a big myth right now to every one that is in the cold spots

LOL! Yeah, people here in Houston don't know what to do. Thank God it didn't rain and freeze over or snow.

and the weather forecast here is -2 and chance of 6 cats. LOL i've never had that many at one time,but boy i bet it was warm..if you find a space in. if i had that many,i'd set them up their own bed..seriously. tho cats being cats,they'd probably still prefer yours.

I feel your cold, Elic! Honest! When it gets down into the single digits here, I want to climb in a hole and hybernate until Spring. I guess you're kinda lucky to have all those cats for warmth, though. I know it's uncomfortable in bed when you can't even roll over but that's better than freezing! I've been sleeping with 2 dogs and one LARGE kitty squeezed up as close as possible to me. Actually, the dogs prefer it under the covers with me. As for global warming, I think it has forgotten about us, at least here in the U.S. I hear it's also exceptionally cold in the U.K. right now, as well. This season sure has been an award winner for being the coldest ever! I have to go buy a pair of mittens today. I have plenty of gloves but my left hand now has a huge bandage on it with only my index finger and thumb exposed so I can't wear a glove on that hand and my exposed digits REALLY feel the cold! FYI, if the cold gets right into your bones, take a hot shower or, even better, a hot bath until you can't take the heat anymore. That'll keep you warm for awhile.

Ohh my, where in Texas are you? Im from SA but are now in Spain, is really cold up here like 5º Celsius!!!

LOL...what are you complaining about? It was 6 degrees here this morning in Oklahoma. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 11 in the morning, and Sunday we're supposed to bask in 26 degree warmth when we arise. Our cats are too nocturnal to sleep with us, but our chihuahuas are like little hot water bottles. Infortunately we only have two, so maybe we should consider 11 more. We'd certainly be able to do away with the alarm clock with 13 of them

I heard one time that global warming is any extreme weather, if that's the case maybe "warming" isn't the best name. It sure is extreme right now. I live outside of Pgh. Pa. and it's in the 20's here also, but we are used to the cold. I feel bad for the people that live in places that are supposed to be warm but are freezing. Someone said it was warmer here than in parts of Fla. I hope it warms up soon. Maybe we'll have a heat wave in the 40's. Our weather here in November was warmer than usual but we sure are making up for it now!

According to some people, global warming has leveled off and some even think we may be reversing things. How to handle the cold: wear layers of clothing. Put wood in a wood stove or if you have a space heater, turn it on. Beyond that, I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know about global warming, but I can see myself staying at home, in bed, extra blankets, a hot drink and a good book! brrrrr...

Just so u will know u aren't alone w/ this cold weather it's cold in tennessee to. Haven't called time & temp in a few hours but the last time i called it was nine drgerees here. brrrrrrrrr

Not that it's cold ALL year round...but who says we here in Canada, "like" the cold weather? I live in Toronto Ontario, and our weather here is more or less the same, as that of New York City. More the same than less, actually. Only those that live farther north or in the middle provinces, probably like this kind of weather, since it hits them the hardest due to the jet streams Arctic air flow, and the fact that they're used to it. But not me...I for one can't stand it. I say, bring on the summer, and heat me baby!!!!! That's what I say. Cheers; cdrxo

We have the same thing in England as well arctic conditions minus 11 brr cold.We are used to damp and miserable but arctic oonditions we were told the other night it was warmer in the south pole.Keep warm.
