Title: Holy Moly it's cold!!!
Post by: surveypro2016 on January 03, 2018, 04:59:16 am
It is -4 degrees in Ohio and we are under a Wind Chill Advisory. Our frigid temps are to last through Saturday. What's it like where you live?

Here in northern NJ we have pretty much what you are describing Ohio is like. I have a great coat made by Columbia that works just great in these below freezing temps so I have been going out for my hourly runs just about every day the cold temps notwithstanding.

I live in Michigan and am used to there being cold, snowy winters at times.  However, this is ridiculous and I'm tired of winter weather already.  On the news last night it said that it was not going to be any colder in Alaska than in Panama City, Florida.  It also stated there could be 2-3 inches of snow/sleet in places like Savannah, Georgia, and somewhere in South Carolina! "Get me ticket on an airplane"...to someplace where it is warm and sunny and I don't have to come back until March!!

here in So Cal it's 64 degrees....  cold for us.
I don't know how people live where it is so cold, probably cheaper with less taxes....  but then there is New York City, freezing AND expensive...  crazy.

Here in Pennsylvania we are having a heat wave.  The temperature is a balmy 27 degrees 😄 The last few days it never went higher than 10 degrees.  The weather forecasts tomorrow starts another few days of single digits.

It has been cold here in N.M. but nothing like  up North and in the Midwest.  But we are  warming a little  for the weekend.  Don't think we will see any more low 70's  for a while. But oh well  It is winter. In fact we would love to see a wet snow move in for a couple of days  then melt and go away for awhile, we need the moisture.

Pretty much the same here in Maryland, we have been in single digits for a few days, this weather is fierce and I hope it goes away much sooner then later.

We broke freezing today for the first time in a week in Kansas. It was only by a degree or so, but it felt nicer compared to the past days.

 With the exception of yesterday it's been in the single digits with when chills below zero for the past seven days in Massachusetts. We have a blizzard coming today and then by Friday morning it's supposed to be in the single digits again  Extreme cold through the weekend.

 I'm praying I don't lose power during the blizzard. I hope it warms up next week  :rainbow: :heart:  :snowflake:  :wave:

I just found out a new Cold Weather term:  Bomb Cyclone

(CNN)If you're feeling abnormally chilly lately, go ahead and blame the bomb cyclone. It's the hottest cold-weather term at the moment, probably because it combines two already alarming words.

Bomb? Cyclone?! It's gotta be bad.
Believe it or not, a bomb cyclone itself is actually not that dramatic, even though the bitter, dangerous cold it produces definitely is. Here's a definition, along with a few other surprising and weird winter-weather terms.
Bomb cyclone: A bomb cyclone happens when a cyclone, which is a low-pressure rotating storm system, experiences a dramatic drop in atmospheric pressure over a short period of time. This process is known as bombogenesis, an equally cool weather word. Bomb cyclones can help draw colder air in from the North, which could, say, blast areas in the northern hemisphere with icy temperatures.

In the last few weeks, we reached in the minus 20's and 30s windchill in Wisconsin.

Grand daughter in Jacksonville thought it was cold at 37...for her it is.  But where-ever this front is, it is brutal.

Plus this last storm over the east coast (bringing freezing rain and snow to northern Florida) exploding over the east coast in warnings to stay inside, is crazy and kinda scary.

I hope people are starting to get it that it is smart to at least be a bit of a prepper, food, water, light....just the day and age. Then you don't have to race to the store, and deal with crazy crowds to load up.

Insane, but weather has its cycles.  Rough....have to go out in this in a bit here, and not excited about it.

this is the kind of weather when some people love to have or wish they had the option to work from home.
no travel necessary; no exposure to the freezing temperatures.

Yes, it is cold down South as well.

It's definitely cold outside but it's the wind chills that's playing a huge factor in it.

It's chilly here in Florida, and we even got a little snow for about an hour. But it's definitely not bad at all, nothing compared to the rest of the north. Though, of course, since it's Florida, schools and what not shut down and we had a "snow day." Our biggest concern here is that it might kill our orange crops and that's big business here.

I agree with you on that.  It's about 7 degrees where I live.  Dipping down to a -1 today.

I'm in Florida and it was 48 for a high a couple days ago and at the same time my cousin in Alaska said it was about the same temperature.

Post by: betlynjua on January 04, 2018, 07:06:18 pm
Typically I choose my words very carefully when it comes to temperatures.  Instead of me saying 'it's cold, or it's cold outside', I simply say, 'I'm cold'. 

There always seems to be somebody who will disagree with me by telling me that it's not cold - they go on to inform me that if I want to feel the cold, I should be ... wherever.   ::)   :bad:

I think it's pretty safe to say that It's Cold - at least in the Eastern part of the US.
