Okay, who's got the gloat?

[Dave Balderstone]

We've got arctic air moving south bringing a windchill temp of -43C. (Actual is -31C).

SOMEBODY south of me sucks big time.

[Charles Spitzer]

it's only a frosty 72F here today. with our wind chill, that would be around

72F. it's supposed to get really cold here this weekend, all the way down to 65F.

I'm in the same town as Dave. I went out to the garage without checking the thermometer. Was NOT ready for that first lungful...

[jo4hn]

Cool here at 7000 feet in So Californicate. 25 dF at 1pm. Oh well. mahalo, jo4hn

[Enoch Root]

Good grief, that's -56F (actual)!

-31 degrees Celsius = -23.8 degrees Fahrenheit

The Dave Balderstone entity posted thusly:

Well, I'm south, but it's the same here.

Worst part was that I was forking hay over the fence for the horses, and was doing it right into the north wind. My face hurt. A lot.

[Josh]

Then your last name is appropriate. I assume it's pronounce Freezin'?

I'm in warm sunny NC now, but I grew up in northern Maine. Coldest I've ever experienced was -58 F (-50 C) without factoring in wind chill.

I feel your pain.

[Josh]

Woops. That was supposed to be in response to Chris Friesen's post.

Well, you get the point.

[Josh]

I DEFINITELY don't miss having horses in the north. Chipping ice out of water troughs is something I never ever want to have to do again. Much better here below the Mason-Dixon line.

[Chris Friesen]

Yep. Sounds exactly like that.

I used to bike to university all winter--big skidoo boots, mitts up to my elbows, ski goggles, face mask...

My personal best is -63C with windchill. But once you get below -30 or so it really doesn't matter...you just pile on more insulating layers.

[Ed Ahern]

I own a home in Florida and I am shoveling snow in Taxachussetts. I'm so made at myself I'm not talking to me.

[Robatoy]

Am I South of you?? *EG*..Guess I am..and still in Kanuckistan. PLUS 7 degrees Celsius.

Feels like...errrrmm.. SPRING?

Sarnia.. in the banana belt.

[Thomas Bunetta]

Didn't look at a thermometer, but the attic fan kicked on and I'm wearing just a T shirt on top. 'Course next year I won't be in SW Fla., but in Tn. I have a hunch the winters there might not be as mild as I'm used to. Tom

[Rick M]

Where in NC? You know that ShopBot is in Durham? I'm between Winston-Salem and Kernersville myself.

[Enoch Root]

Thanks for that. I think I found a bug in the "units" program:

me@mycomp:~$ units

2438 units, 71 prefixes, 32 nonlinear units

You have: -31 degC You want: degF * -55.8 / -0.017921147 You have: ^C

me@mycomp:~$ echo "scale=2; -31*9/5+32" | bc

-23.80

[Mortimer Schnerd, RN]

That would be me. I got an email from my local airport reminding me my currency in the Piper Arrow was getting ready to expire. I went down there this afternoon and scored a free maintenance flight. It had a minor oil leak in the prop that was going to be fixed at the maintenance base.

I like free. Two flights in severe clear weather: life is good. BTW: drove down to the airport in my shirt sleeves with the windows open.

Ask my coworkers. They will all agree I suck.

Gee Dave, supposedly we had a temp of 74F today. But, the windchill factor is -20F. Make you feel better? LMAO

JOAT I'm busy now, can I ignore you some other time?
