Southern thing.

[Magicman]

But we have not had snow in two years and even then not nearly that much. 

[SwampDonkey]

Gotta catch up on all them inches you missed. 

[SawyerTed]

The weather guesser is predicting that we will get 3"-5" of snow Tuesday.  Yikes !!!

When you salt your driveway it's not necessary to add garlic or Tony's.  

[barbender]

I think we had about -25° last night.

[GAB]

According to the weather personnel on the tele we had +27*F this AM at 6:00 in Burlington, VT.

GAB,

We hit 40 today in my part of NH. I was down to a hoodie at one point!  It was great, BUT, then the top layer of ground thawed a bit, but was still frozen underneath.  It was slick on the tractor and atv by mid day.  I will let you guess which was more fun to be on

[YellowHammer]

I thought you guys were getting cold weather, I'm at 20F going down to 12F tonight, please take it back.  This is unacceptable.

By the way, southern socks have holes in them, and the only time we use them is to walk out on the front porch to shoot an armadillo, or water the lawn. It's a southern thing...... 

[customsawyer]

It's so cold around here, I saw a guy had duct taped the holes on his Crocks he was wearing, with his shorts on.

[SwampDonkey]

There's some people here that will wear shorts in 20° weather. They think they are college kids and probably in their 50's.   Well I know one, cousin's husband. They wouldn't if the car broke down and had to walk home. 

[jb616]

Seen a guy getting his car towed out of the ditch yesterday wearing shorts and a t shirt...stupid is as stupid does.....I always have boots, gloves, hat, and blanket in my vehicles all winter...

[Machinebuilder]

10 degrees this morning

Sox, my dog stuck his nose out and turned around. the couch is way more comfortable.

The mud should be solid though

[Peter Drouin]

Maybe on the good side, the cold will kill some of the bugs youall have down there.

[Magicman]

22° here on this Glorious Inauguration Morning.  We have a warm   and no plans to go anywhere nor do anything. 

[GRANITEstateMP]

I woke up to this....



It was 40 yesterday and sunny.  Temps dropped and snow showed up.  We got about six inches, temps at 18.  I'm thinking of boxing some up and sending south so you guys that haven't had snow in a while can enjoy it 

[Magicman]

We are sorta kinda forecast to maybe get our own tomorrow. 

[YellowHammer]

13F here.  I think I'll put my shorts and flip flops on and go for a walk.

Mr. Milton:
There are certain things we glaciated northerners are willing to share and cold is one of them.  Andries please make an effort to send them southerners another reminder.
Concerning your comment "By the way, southern socks have holes in them"  If they didn't have holes in them how would you get your feet in them?
Throw another log on the fire, get yourself another bowl of grits and blame the Department of Homeland Security for not doing their jobs and allowing that stuff to get by them and into the country.

I ventured out this morning in my slippers to check out how to unset the child lock on our Nissan Rogue after I googled how to do it.  Not flip flops, but close.  when i was growing up,  real men just went barefooted  lol

[Andries]

GAB, like this?



or this;



That 'lil note at the bottom of the summary "frostbite in minutes" is kinda important. Hotdogging around in shorts, a t-shirt or crocs is a guarantee that folks like @doc henderson will have to remove body parts.
That's a medic alert rather than fussy old man advice.

[YellowHammer]

With weather like that, I'm not sure we will want you guys as our 51st state.  In the photo, it looks like the sun was getting frostbite and already lost a couple body parts.

Just curious, looking at that forecast are the neighbors to the north now reading temperature in Fahrenheit?

When you are talking -35 whether it is C or F there is not a whole lot of difference.

13F here.  I think I'll put my shorts and flip flops on and go for a walk. 

I hope you do not plan on being gone long in that outfit in that temperature.  And if there is a wind chill factor on top of that then it will be an even shorter excursion.

Yes you are correct. But when you're on the other end of the temperature scale it does make a huge difference. As the Australian rock band "Midnight Oil" so eloquently stated in their 1987 hit: "Beds are Burnin'"...
"Holden wrecks and boilin' diesels, steam in 45 degrees".
They didn't mean rather cool, they meant rather hot (113 Fahrenheit).

[Machinebuilder]

Andries PLEASE KEEP THAT WEATHER UP THERE.

I went searching for some of my warmer gear today, The dogs still want to go outside and want me with them.......

The last time I saw this kind of weather was a work trip to Michigan.
I'm glad I don't have them any more.
