So, how cold is it near you? This is crazy. The coldest I've seen in No. VA in the 15 years I've lived here. Global warming my ass!

kihun · 01-06-2014, 11:38 PM

LOL yea man..it's freezing but it ain't so bad.

Arben72 · 01-07-2014, 12:22 AM

-40 That's my suby high centered in 3ft of snow. We got through the worst of it.

I don't know man, it's getting into the 30s here. That means people will be dying and shit. Florida isn't prepared for the cold. Power will be out, people will freeze to death, etc...

J/K, but i think i'll break out a jacket tomorrow.

PS. The high was 67 today.

I hear there isn't much left in Tampa but polar bears and a couple penguins. I think we lost Jacksonville earlier today. Not sure we will make it through the night down here in sfla.

MisterSkiMask · 01-07-2014, 12:34 AM

only got up to about 62 in NorCal, I had to wear a sweatshirt!

but seriously we need some rain and snow in the mountains out here

hatton · 01-07-2014, 12:42 AM

I'm from Iowa/Indiana but I'm in Florida now for vacation. Gotta say I can't quite understand why people are wearing jackets in 55 degree weather! They look at me in flip flops and t shirt like I'm some sort of alien.

Or a Canadian

Nate4641 · 01-07-2014, 01:26 AM

Its in the 70s and 80s here....

Might be because I'm in a desert in north eastern Africa though...

hudamang · 01-07-2014, 01:45 AM

75 degrees here in San Diego today. Having lived in NYC and CT, I feel for you guys. Hope you stay warm while I turn on the AC in the car haha. Sometimes I forget why I paid such a high premium for real estate but when it's 75 in January, I remember why...

TXSTYLE · 01-07-2014, 01:59 AM

This is some "Day After Tomorrow" shit right here!!! If you never saw that movie, do so now.

It was near 70 this past Saturday here...

Today it was 12! Do the math. That is a epic drop.

carogers86 · 01-07-2014, 02:50 AM

Been really warm in SF. I start sweating walking only a couple blocks. Could have worn shorts and t shirt the other day.

TXSTYLE · 01-07-2014, 03:13 AM

In a horrific twist of irony... Global Warming appears to be in fact contributing to this Epic weather phenomena:

What in God's name are you doing there...

Litos · 01-07-2014, 09:49 AM

it was 24 degrees here in Houston this morning. pretty cold, but not as cold as it was in Jan or Feb 2011.....

i think most of the country was below freezeing for 3 days straight (at least Houston was) back in 2011.....

supposed to get up to 77 by Friday......

Joekerr · 01-07-2014, 10:04 AM

With the windchill here, we're only at a -35F (translated it for you Americans). I think the States might be getting it worse, especially if you're not used to it.

Still cold though, I'll say that. I was thinking that a hat or gloves might have been a good idea today as I was outside pumping gas for 4 minutes, ears were a little frozen getting back in the car.

On the flip side, I just ordered some winter boots that are rated to -70C so my feet should be nice and warm this winter walking the dog on the lake and if I go snowmobiling.

f30nynj · 01-07-2014, 10:36 AM

I experienced the coldest in VT around -5'F in last week of Dec. Today's temp in NYC is the coldest in 100years 3'F or -16'C. I walked like 4 blocks this morning and felt the pinch of cold on my face. Other than that it is manageable.

DF · 01-07-2014, 10:54 AM

Yesterday driving to work I had the top down and to put on the heated seats. But I managed to make the 11 mile drive ok. Was touch and go for a few minutes as I approached Getty Center on the 405 tho

blazedxjan · 01-07-2014, 11:08 AM

its was 3 degrees in centeral Jersey this morning; my car gave me the "holy sh1t it's cold" beep.

MidwestGolfBum · 01-07-2014, 11:20 AM

Most of yesterday was -15 to -20F with windchills around -50 to -60 here. It has warmed up to -10 with -35 windchills this morning. I wonder what made me move back to the midwest sometimes.
