It could be worse; you could’ve been snowed and rained on while being blown sideways by 0 degrees Kelvin (- 273.15c), then when you finally get to work, you find out that your building is about to close and you have to find somewhere else to work. Oh how I love life.

Canadians (outside of southern BC) shouldn't be allowed to contribute to these treads. But hey, it's helpful to share:
Montreal, QC
-24C (-11F)
-36C windchill (-33F)
aaagh. But it's sunny! (and, somehow, knowing that it's been -45C in the past makes -36C seem less cruel.)

Well, I was going to complain about the 14F feels like -2F conditions here in NJ - but I guess I should count my blessings instead.

It's fuckin' 11 degrees outside today (there's a "high" of 19 degrees forcast for today), and I'm being Mr.Mom (we lost our Nanny last week....well, we didn't lose her per se. We know where she is, but the trouble is, it ain't here). Lemme tellya, when it's too cold to take yer almost-ten-month old outside, the day is loooooooooooooooooooooong

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, it's ass cold here in Chicago, too. I mean, it's cold for Chicago, and that's fuckin' cold. It'
s going to warm up a bit and snow tonight, though, so that'll be nice.

You guys are whiners. It was four degrees when I woke up this morning.

(...should I mention it's 80 over here and sunny?)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha ha. I think it's funny how it's going to WARM UP HERE and snow.

Yesterday, on the way to the bus stop I got brain freeze. I had a hat on and everything. OW! And then my Dad was talking to me on the phone last night about how the Civil War soldiers often got brain fatigue from being out in the cold too long.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

You got brain freeze like when you drink a slurpee? That's odd. I've never had that.

Montreal, QC

aaagh. But it's sunny!
That's what it was this morning here in Toronto (prolly warmer now). Except that last week it went up to a creepy 12C - which makes this all the more horrible.

just went outside for literally a walk around the block with the child. It took about twenty minutes getting her into her cold weather gear for a walk that took under five minutes, but they were five fuckin' frigid minutes. That's the last time we're goin' outside today.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

The weather in NYC has been about the same as in Chicago. What is it, like 10 degrees there?

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

-2F this morning, every time I go outside it feels like my lungs might implode.

Yesterday, on the way to the bus stop I got brain freeze.

I had that yesterday, too.
