Where are you and how cold is it?

Minus 18 here in southern Ontario. Windchilll - 28

In Fahrenheit that would be -0.4 and -18.4

Fun fact: at -40 Celcius and Fahrenheit are the same

I have to leave in an hour. So far the Prius has started every time. Maybe today too. I'll know soon.

Seattle. In the high 40's to mid-50's. Generally sunny, with intermittent early morning fog.

It's kinda gorgeous. Rode my motorcycle three times in the last week. Just leather jacket and jeans. No special warm gear needed.

Now I'm off to get a massage.

what up lil checking in with the overnight -50 windchill, i went outside for a sec because i was curious and that sucked but what sucked more is somehow my patio door mechanism froze or something because now my door won't fully close

so i'm "working from home" but mostly i'm monitoring my door in case it gets any ideas

What’s up? Like tng I miss my friends here, but life and so much in it has changed so I am here less.

Class soon. There’s a new Hamlet in VR that I’ve been wanting to post.

Northern Norway, just south of the Arctic Circle. It's a comfortable -2 Celsius here.

lil  ·  1904 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Thanks. Isn't that something - you are Just south of the Arctic Circle and you are not affected by the polar vortex. Anyway, it's supposed to break on the weekend. We have +4 C on Monday and rain. But right now? Brrrr

It is a bit ironic, isn't it.

The jet stream that causes these phenomena runs so far south that it rarely affects us directly up here. The British Isles are experiencing an unusually cold winter though.

Around Los Angeles and the temperature is 64 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's 32F but it feels like 26F, I'm in northern new jersey.

It's supposed to get a lot colder tomorrow.

-19 in London. Taking the bus no longer feels viable.

NE Kansas

0F, windchill -12F.

Supposed to be near 60F on Sunday. That'll be nice.

That’s crazy.

I'm on my couch, under a blanket with the dog. Its probably mid-90s under here. All I know is, it's way too cold to be in the craft room right now, as its the only un-insulated part of the house. Since I can't work on crafts at the moment, I'm watching YouTube videos on gardening and pretending spring is right around the corner. I can't wait to grow some peppers, carrots, and radishes.

Dallas TX. 40F/5C. Overall the winter has been warm - second winter in a row with no ice or snow.
