It's -17C with a windchill of -31C.

and it's snowing but nothing heavy, maybe an inch or 2.

The big issue is my apt building heating is having trouble keeping us warm.

I don't want to go out today unless I have to.

I can hardly wait for spring.

Yeah like that here as well, yesterday was ugly.
With the warm spell bringing rain last week, any slightly less traveled roads are scarey.
Pure ice underneath lots of snow :(

Yeah my cat is not happy. She loves to be outside but this cold makes her wanna retreat back to the house within minutes when she normally spends hours. Then she storms around the house bored and restless

It's so cold that if you breath in through your nose you can feel your nasal membranes freeze

I know, but I will be ok. With my computers, TV and monitor running now, it will get a bit warmer.

With the sharp temp drop, it seemed the moisture was condensing out of the air. Frost all around this morning.

My drive to work was a bit shyte with all the asshats on the road, but otherwise was totally fine. Car isn't much a fan of -17 starts but it was fine.

My buddies at The Weather Network say it's going to last for the rest of the week with snow on Friday. They say 5cm but Frankie McDonald says 10-15cm. I'm not sure who to trust. :p

It was -11F/-24C in Minneapolis this morning. It's -23F/-31C in northern Minnesota where my parents live. Cold week, but nothing out of the ordinary this time of year.

You guys should have a look at the weather in Yellowknife, it's absolutely insane. It's -35 to -40C during the day, and drops below -50 at night. I'm feeling lucky with my -25 here ^_^

About 5F here today. About 55F inside thanks to broken HVAC at office. How bout we just top that off by having a fire alarm and making people stand outside for a half hour. Gotta love winter.
