That's what it felt like here today when I walked out of work to my car. Horrible feeling!!

I am. With the wind chill it was -38F here today. Daughter and I did experiments outside with boiling water, hot soapy bubbles and balloons.

It was great.

-20f here this morning when I drove to work. I think around -45f with the windchill. The high is -2f tomorrow, so it'll feel like a heatwave after today :blink:
It's good and dry at least. This morning was probably one of the better commutes I've had since the start of December.

With temperatures that low, I can't even imagine how cold houses must seem?

Meh, it's a bit nippy I suppose.

Pulaski, me old China - it's the ****ing weather. Nobody has anything to complain about. Unless someone can change the axial tilt of the Earth or its position in relation to the sun, we really need to just suck it up and deal with it. Or move to Venus. One of the two.

As a species, we're a bunch of pussies sometimes, aren't we?

Well, my thermostat was reading 69 but I suppose someone might have turned their heating off ...

I am in one the warmest places in Canada, could very well be the warmest.

Its currently +37F and should be a high of around 45F or so.

Southern Coastal BC best place to be in Canada in winter.

Ours is set at 65, but always feels a lot warmer than that when it's cold outside....

To be fair, mine used to be at 68, but wife was last to leave at Christmas and she set the "hold" temp at 65 as she left (I normally drop it to 55 when we're away). When we got back, I forgot to reset to the program, so we're on 65 Hold and no one has complained.....
