This will be the coldest winter in the history of Chicago when it's done. Thank god I missed a week of it. I just want to kill winter. My hate is now a full blown rage.

Then -for the rest of my household, the only nice days would be within 72 to 74 degrees.jim wrote:
I'm tired of people saying it's a nice day when it's not. There are no nice days where the temperatures are below 60. It simply doesn't exist. You keep the thermostat at 55 in your house when you are there? Of course you don't, because 55 is too [expletive] cold.

I drove through Atlanta once when they got three inches of snow. It was like the apocalypses down there. I've never seen so many vehicles stuck in ditches. Some poeple just left their car right there on the highway.Dillagii wrote:Atlanta got quarter inch of snow and whole city was shut down

For the second year in a row, portions of Niagara Falls have frozen over.

The next 5 or so days are going to be really interesting for people who like weather. A series of smaller waves moving through which will likely result in various ice and snow events. Followed by flooding rains, possible, severe weather, and someone in the midwest is getting burried with snow. The close we get the less clear it becomes what is going to happen.

We shattered the old record low today by 9 degrees! It got down to -18 this morning. Previous record low was -9 in 1962. That's just stupid.

Been snowing a good 3 hours now. It's is very [expletive] out. I parked in my parents driveway which slopes uphill and when I came out of the house to go home my car had slid to the bottom.
