It was -11 F (-23 C) in Indianapolis yesterday morning -definitely nippy! My undergrad days in Montreal, these sorts of temperatures weren't unusual, but I haven't felt air that cold here before!

We're in the 20's and teens here...and that's really cold for coastal Va... now I am really hoping for one big snowstorm!!! Shamrockchick, are you in Northern Va?

I just want enough snow to keep us out of school for a day or two...is that too much to ask?

Yesterday was the first day above 0 in three days here (Illinois). It was 12 F and it almost felt balmy after the miserable -12 F days we had been having. School was canceled for the local kids, but the college remained open (class is not in session yet) so we all had to shovel snow in frigid temperatures and drag ourselves in to work. Half the staff still couldn't get in because their cars wouldn't start. I was raised on the East Coast and never experienced temperatures this low that I can remember. At least I chose this winter to learn how to knit socks, so my feet have stayed warm!

CD, at least I know that your not just laughing at me when I hear your evil laugh. Makes me feel a little better.



I must agree, I'm not used to these negative temps (and then add on wind chill) it makes me never want to go outside.

Originally posted by clouddancer quote: Originally posted by lborgia88 Heh, in a bizarre way, I enjoyed all those -20 C days in Montreal. When I started grad school in Ohio, the winters were all grey, slushy and dreary, but in Montreal on those cold, cold days, the air was dry instead of damp, there would be a cloudless blue sky and bright sun shining off the glittery snow that squeaked when you walked on it, and the cold air seemed like a zap of electricity that made me feel awake and alive. Granted, in Montreal I was wearing a heavy wool coat, hat, scarf, gloves (sometimes gloves inside mittens), turtleneck, sweater, heavy pants, long underwear and sometimes two pairs of socks to walk from my apartment to campus... That is exactly what I love about winter. The clear blue skies, the sun so bright it makes your eyes tear. the cold fresh air invigorating you, running and jumping in the snow and being able to brush it off without getting wet. And then coming inside with rosy red checks and being able to snuggle up in front of a popping fire with an Eagle to wrap his arms around you while the Condor makes a nice cup of hot chocolate with real whipped cream and marshmallows ... oooops, sorry I guess I got to far into that day dream.
