Re: Anyone experiencing the extreme cold?
 

Was it you that posted a while back about warming it to a higher temp in winter than you cool it to in Summer? Still don't get that.....if it was 80 inside in winter I'd be wanting to open windows and doors:lol:

Temps dropped like a stone yesterday from 57 degrees in the afternoon to a cool 27 degrees at 8 p.m. When I started up the car this morning, it was 7 degrees with a minus 14 with the chill factor and this was New York City.

Hubby in Mississippi was 17 degrees at 7:30 this morning.

I like it warm inside the house all year around...75 to 80F...but I like the bedroom cold. I had the patio door in the bedroom open last night...it was -6F/-21C outside.

Had you considered putting on socks, pants and a long sleeved shirt, and, dare I say it, even a sweater? :confused: .... I would be sitting around in shorts and a T shirt long before the temperature reached 80.6°F! :eek:

Our thermostat is usually set around 62°-63°. We bump it up a little sometimes in the evening, but when we're out at work, or asleep, the timer-thermostat is set to 55°. The timer is set to bring it back to 62° before we wake up/ get home.

I am wearing socks, leggings, a thermal vest and a long, thick wool jumper.

You must be part of the reptile family. :p

That doesn't make sense. If he were a reptile, he'd have the thermostat up like yours, reptiles are cold blooded.

:o It's the heat in here...it's fried my brain. :D

I know, I was looking at the satellite images last night ... That superheated air pouring out of your patio door can be seen from outer space, and is SINGLEHANDEDLY causing the polar vortex that is causing so much misery to so many people

When you get your gas bill - that's when your brain will truly fry :nod:

Re: Anyone experiencing the extreme cold?
 

Exactly the same swings here in CT -- a little while ago the thermometer went up to 8F, then a few minutes later said "I don't think so" and went back down to 7!

Yup, therefore I suggest JG is the reptile; either that, or she suffers from hypothyroidism. :unsure:

Re: Anyone experiencing the extreme cold?
 

We're too close to each other geographically, NM, to have much a difference. Bet your creek is frozen solid though. I'm going to ramble over to the Bronx River Reserve this weekend (balmy 40 or so degrees by then) to see if the falls have frozen over.

Re: Anyone experiencing the extreme cold?
 

As solid as I've ever seen it this past weekend, but with all the rain and thawed snow it is flowing nicely today, despite it being so cold. Very pretty though!

Re: Anyone experiencing the extreme cold?
 

Bring a sweater, it is slow outside?

Re: Anyone experiencing the extreme cold?
 

It was close to -50F with wind chill last night and right now its around -35F. It hurts to be outside!
