we are expecting an 18°C temperature drop over the next few hours.

Its already dropped 4°C in the last 1/2 hour.

Plus we are getting a bunch of snow too.

I hate winter.

It's going to be -15 C tomorrow. Haven't experienced that in a month, and don't want to. Holy crap, I gotta walk to work for 3 days in that...

Should I buy long underwear or not. I tell you, the jeans just aren't cutting it.

Currently in Albany, NY. Supposed to be a high tomorrow of 9, 5 on Thursday. I love winter, but I usually draw the line at when it's too cold to go streaking. Thank god i just sold my junk car out front otherwise that thing would never start.

34 F here right now. RIT just sent out an email notifying us all of the incoming front, and recommending we bunker down. Means it's time to put the computer outside and increase voltage, right? :evil:

5 F right now, 100% chance of 3-5 tonight and a -13 F tomorrow with 13-25mph wind gusts. We're already 15" ahead of last year's snowfall, which at the end of the year was the highest in recorded history (76"). Not much for you extreme northerners but the snowblowers haven't even had a chance to cool down yet!

That weather is coming to us tonight. :(

Even though MN might be a little colder then WI on average, because our pro football team plays outdoors, not in a doom, we get awarded the larger winter-peener.

Only if you're on the team (or at least have season tickets!).

In all seriousness, it is a little embarrassing that the Vikings have been a pretty poor winter team for years thanks to that damned dome.

It was -24F (raw temp) when I woke up this morning without the windchill factored in.

That said, I love winter and don't really mind the cold much. :)

That was my thought too. I don't use it enough I guess, but when it gets frigid out it's time.
