How does your old house keep out the cold? Cause mine isn't keeping it out worth a damn. And it was a whopping 20 degrees here today. The fella is wearing coveralls and a sock hat in the house and the cat has been in a ball at the foot of the bed UNDER the comforter all day.
Boooo! Altho this does make me feel a little better about the 7 I just saw on my way home. After that I spent 5 minutes out in it trying to thaw out the garage lock so I could put my car inside. No luck. It's going to be a bitch in the AM when I get into my frozen car.
I cannot imagine weather that cold. Don't know how you guys do it!!! It was 27 degrees here last week. It's never that cold in Florida this early. This week it's back in the 70's. Screwy weather. Stay warm.............patti
Yeah, what's the deal with the late-January temps a month early? (Winter wedding? Screw that!)
I didn't need to leave my house yesterday, so I didn't. (I even managed to stay out of the wine.) Today I will pay for it with a nice 2 mile walk from my truck to campus.
Yeah, and if someone could install one of those vacuum tubs like at the bank between my house and the liquur store, I would be quite grateful. Damn, it's cold here!
On a related note, I checked the weather in Seattle yesterday. It said "bitterly cold". The temp? 27. Above. Pussies.
Holy smokes! I can't even begin to imagine what that feels like. It's been a high of 53 here and a low of 39, which is cold for us. But minus 20??? Sheesh. No thank you. You can keep your cold weather and snow. :P
My dad makes hot toddies every Christmas eve but this year I'll be at Iggie's house. I asked him to move Toddy night to Christmas day but he refuses. What kind of effing Christmas spirit is that? And move to Southern California. We've got no seasons, but we've got sass.
I was just going to ask where your mittens are! Your finger could freeze to the thermometer in temps that low! (OK, maybe only if you lick it first, but whatever. Mittens are still a good plan.)
Ouch.

OUCH!
We hit 30 degrees today, and I thought that was chilly :)
Brutal! It's pretty damn cold here, too. Just all-around miserable: cold, gusty wind, gray, with icy snow hitting you in the face. Whee!
Good Lord. Is that a joke? On the bright side I can see the cold weather makes for a good complexion.

My Furnace never goes off.
We also scrape the INSIDE of our windows....and make SnowCones
We'd drive up from Chicago with supplies but our cars were frozen shut this morning.
WM - if I could think of a way to keep you warm I'd be there in a second, I....wait...I just thought of something. I'm leaving for the airport now.
It's the only state where self-immolation is recommended.
So, I guess my 15 degrees is downright balmy.
whiner
And no gloves! That's how you can identify a hardy woman!
Oh my. And I thought it was cold at 49 degrees at 9 p.m. here. Shows what I know about cold, huh?
So it's cold there right?
Those that live 500 miles directly north of you are chuckling to ourselves, then crying a little on the inside.
Hi WM,

Winter is bullshit, isn't it? I'm staying inside and not coming out until July.

I'm such a third grader- I totally giggled about "Sofa King Cold!"
Also, -20 degrees? NO THANK YOU!
I'll be there as soon as someone stops and picks my frozen ass up. Northern Illinois might be a degree warmer, if that.
Cold weather should be banned.
BRRRRR.
Also, this is quite weird, but for some reason your subject line made me think of Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he. Hrm.
I either need to have it snow already, or for it to be april. I'm tired of this flip-flopper weather.
You Minnesotans are a tough and hardy bunch.

that's a right fancy Fahrenheit clock what you got there
See I LUV that it freaks people out that we live here.
Seriously though I went outside to start my car without my coat on...I felt like I was going to puke on my way back into the house.
;)
I triple dog dare you to lick the flagpole.
GOOD GAWD!
And you were complaining about your 80° days a few months ago?
COLD BLOODED woman, cold blooded.
P.S. - my comment captcha below is "hotsandybeaches" ; )

Or...get on a plane and come to Baltimore. It's still chilly, but not that fricking chilly.
I'm thinking it's time to start making your morning coffee "Irish".
*wink*
I don't know how you people up there keep your parts from freezing right off.
I was just going to ask where your mittens are! Your finger could freeze to the thermometer in temps that low! (OK, maybe only if you lick it first, but whatever. Mittens are still a good plan.)
That is wicked! I've never been in anything below zero and I ain't looking to start now if I can help it. You need to head south.
That is ridiculous.
