correct 0 is extremely cold....and 30 is bearable but you cant say its not cold

It's been below zero here for a week now but at least we're used to it and the houses are built for it. I feel really bad for the people down there who don't have any experience dealing with this. The houses down there have no insulation to speak of. I suppose we'll start hearing the news reports about entire families dying from asphixiation trying to keep warm around the charcoal grill they had burning in the living room and houses burning down from faulty furnaces that weren't designed to be constantly running.

...it got up to 9 degrees up here today....the warmest its been in about a week...

It will be -10 when I go get the paper tomorrow morning.

HA! Our house is horribly insulated. Our thermostat is set to 60, any higher and our furnace constantly runs. It is 50 down in the basement where the snakes are.

It was 80 here today, got a sunburn working outside.
This is why I left NYC;)

man you know why the florida yelling it cold it cause they tickest shirt they got is a long sleve dress shirt lol.. I running aorund outside in tshirt and pant in Delaware and it only got 35 today ( with out the wind chill) I not staying long but it ewnough to feel the cold.. I bet the folrida reptiles are going wtf when they thaw out later this month if they survive the cold snape.

I got ice ther ( from all the recent rain) that about inch thick in spots and kids are tryingot walk on it so we are doing checks onthe ponds in the mornings /during the day and warning the kids to stay off it not thick enough. maybe we should let a few politations onthe ice to prove a point ( mainly those that propose these reptile reg changes)

Haha, yeah just after noon it was almost feeling like a heat wave. I was up early this morning to try to fix the rear left blinker on my truck. After about 15 minutes I couldn't feel my fingers anymore. I tried a couple of bulbs and a fuse but it still doesn't work. Cold probably cracked a solder joint or something and it'll cost to get it fixed now. Dang this cold weather...
