Looks like you didn't move south far enough!

(Although it's predicted to only be in the "60's here on Tuesday)

Seriously. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.
School is cancelled again tomorrow.

God is pissed. Another blow for my discernment. Looks like I won't get out to my spiritual direction meeting and Epiphany service and dinner tomorrow night due to the icy roads we are supposed to get.

People here are throwing hot water out the door to watch it freeze mid air. I have done that before and it is rather cool. Moronic, but cool.

The kids and I did that when they were little. It is cool.

-13 here -41 factoring in wind chill. Per TPD scanner, all larger wreckers in use. I'm fricking freezing !

50 degrees fahrenheit here, blue skies, pretty mild.

It is clear to me that God doesn't bless America he saves up the worst weather to dump on it.

It really isn't that bad out to me. Only -16 *f. Yesterday was -21 *f. Wind chils have ben in the -50 range here for the last 48 hours though.
The girls say I must be part polar bear because I am still not wearing a coat. At most I will wear a long sleve wrangler dress shirt. LOL

We do that with bubbles then they shatter on the ground.

I wish I had some bubbles to try that with.

I watched a video of a person using a super soaker and making it snow.
Also, yesterday a person in my hometown froze a wet T-shirt solid in under a minute. It would stand on the ground , by itself in something like 55 seconds.

Here is a link to a news agency that has that video of the shirt freezing. This place is only 5 miles or so from my house. To me it didn't seam that cold yesterday. Hell I was outside in a sleevless T-shirt starting the trucks when I was getting ready to head to work .

Just incase someone called BS on the t-shirt I did snap a pic. hahahahahaha

I located the actual video of that tshirt freeze. Just incase you want to go directly to the video and bypass the news link.

I only get cold when I get wet otherwise its a windbreaker, I do keep warm clothes in the truck just in case something happens though.

I do the same thing Maggot. I keep extra coats, gloves and even a pair of coveralls in my trucks. Just incase I break down.

The weather terrorists are out in force "coldest it's been in 20 yrs.", blah blah fuckin' blah. Those people scare the piss out of the elderly and those who are alone. People know it's damn cold, I don't think it's necessary to be so dramatic.

Fuck this weather. Turning my lungs to ice.

I haven't put the storm windows in my second floor bedroom windows in years (im a furnace when i sleep. And it's only me & the attic there so no one cared) there's a coating of ice on my windows, looks like frosted glass. I don't think I've seen them get like that before.

-40 with the windchill

Meanwhile...in my neck of the woods...

I shouldn't laugh. These guys are working their asses off. The roads are nothing but ice.

That looks like he went right into a hole or ditch or something.

Are they publicity stills from the new Mad Max reboot that's coming out this year?

He slid right off the road.

Today was the first time I've been out since Friday night. The Interstate is still a solid sheet of ice. Temps are going up so it will be a nasty mess for the next week.

My car still won't start.
