20F, with a "feels like" temperature of 9F here in northern VA.

I went outside to check my mail, maybe took a full minute and I got back in the house shivering like crazy. How cold is it where y'all are?
 
63F outside right now by the beach. I heard it's pretty cold in my office, but I'm so used to it, I don't even notice.
 
I hate to be this guy as I usually just lurk and roll my eyes, but this is one of those things... it's WINTER. being cold is not news!
Anyway, I digress, it's not like like I have better subject matter with which to make a thread. carry on.
 
A buddy of mine is from Edmonton. He used to work on the oil rigs up there. He said -60 isn't common, but it's also not UNcommon.

Eff that ish.

Well, today was lovely.
Went above 0C, is 0C right now.

But Tuesday it was -30ish. Huge temperature swing in the span of three days...
 
19F right now. Bit warmer than it has been for a while. We had a stretch where it was only 1-2 degrees.
 
Ha forgot I took these pics:

Frost in crawlspace:



Patio doors, especially old ones, are extremely inefficient:



This is what happens when a fireplace is not properly insulated:



Much better: (electric fireplace insert goes there, no need for venting or anything)




THAT, is cold. :biggrin:
