Man it's cold as a well digger's a$$!!! We haven't seen this kind of weather since 1989 down here. I closed up my business at noon today and it looks like we are gonna be closed all day tomorrow.

Ironically, I have a music video shoot booked for Saturday on my boat, forecast says it's gonna be in the low 70's

I don't know how you guys do it up north :huh:

Coldest winter in at least 25 years here. (~about 6 hours N.E. of New Orleans). Today we got 2-3 inches of snow. With a high of 21, well, it's still there. Doesn't sound like much but this area is basically shut down.
 
At least for you guys it will go away. Winter here is a drag compared to the last few years. Hopefully the cold will kill some of the stink bugs and mosquitoes. Plus think about all the work the mechanics will get this spring from all the freeze damage on improperly or non winterized boats. I know the plumbers are doing OK too with all the busted pipes everywhere.
 
It was down to the high 60's today and will be colder tomorrow.....brrrrrr!
 
Your latitude might be fine, but your longitude apparently needs adjustment. We were in Phoenix the last two weeks and it was in the high 70's to low 80's the whole time.

You right coast people need to move further west if you want to get decent winter weather.

Just sayin'.....
 
Good Lord! I agree with you for me first time in a long time! Either West Coast or South...
 
What happened to all that global warming we where getting????

It was here in Calgary last week. Temp was up around 13 C (55 F). We have had mostly above normal temperatures all this winter. The big drawback is not much snow in the mountains.
 
Metro Atlanta and a good bit of Georgia has and continues to be gridlocked. Several inches of snow this morning, schools and businesses let out early (simultaneously) and it's a mess. Took me right at an hour to go 4-1/2 miles due to cars being unable to navigate the ice (I do love my 4wd truck!). Not going to get better anytime soon - currently 20 degrees (wind chill 3) with a projected high of 32 tomorrow.
