The annual holy fuck it's cold thread

[Kristy]

Well holy fuck, up to 24-30 inches (61-76cm) of snow due here buy Wednesday...

Pussy.

[Nickdfresh]

It's too early for this shit!

[twonabomber]

Yup.

I think the last two Novembers have been snow free. A co-worker and I had a bet last year, I said we wouldn't get enough snow to shovel before December 1, and he said we would...I won.

It's not really that cold yet, it'll be mid 20's later in the week.

It was what, 12 below here the other night. And little Nicky cries over some snow.

It's easier to drive in -12F than 12" of snow...

As for minus temps, we had plenty of that this year...

When I worked at Progressive, our Colorado Springs location regularly closed for winter storm events. The campus here never closed due to weather.

I doubt either location closes much now, due to the large number of telecommuters they have.

[Angel]

Never have closures here, no matter how much snow or how cold it gets.

People freak out when there is just a light drizzle in the South.

It is just fucking light rain, people.



Like this morning. Light drizzle. Turned to extemely light snow and was over by 8. Got sunny. Then cloudy. Then sunny. Then it got dark. And the entire fucking time it was fucking cold outside. And windy too.

But you kids don't know nothing. We used to get blizzards with 2 feet of snow every year in Kansas. And it ALWAYS gets down to 5-10 below zero every year. And it always gets over 100 back there in summer.

Thing is, if the Earth fell into the sun, we would have a high of, oh....about 10,000 or so.

[Angel]

Eeeewww...5 or 10 below. Fuck. We get 30 & 40 below.

It's always cold in Frozen Hillbilly Land.

1st Of Dec Will Be Summer Here.

[Nitro Express]

Eeeewww...5 or 10 below. Fuck. We get 30 & 40 below.

We will get that cold but I'm up at 6300 feet. Usually in the coldest part of the winter we average -20 F. Our house is so well insulated you don't know it's that cold outside and our cars are garaged. Still cool having your hair freeze solid when you are out in the hot tub. It's all about having a place built for that kind of cold. A leaky drafty house with poor insulation would make it miserable.

Upstate New York is in the snow belt due to the lake effect off the great lakes. They can really get dumped on especially up around Watertown.

And Buffalo, Hamburg, Rochester, Orchard Park, Lackawanna, Pittsford, Tonawanda, Dunkirk/Fredonia, etc. We have 18" on the ground right now and more is coming, we received an emergency services call stating there is a total driving ban in effect...

Of course, otherwise the igloos would freeze.
