Champaign, IL -9 degrees today. -32 w/ windchill currently

BLAST THAT IS COLD! and I can feel it all over! Guess ill warm myself up with a brew

I moved from MD to Georgia.

It's 64F warmer than it is in IL right now!

I sure don't miss winters in the north.

We had -45 here on Tuesday morning raw temp..no idea what it was with wind chill. We usually don't concern ourselves with windchill when the average low has been -23 for January. Haven't been above -10 in about 3 days.

Couldnt get a picture in time for the -45...but this is was mid morning

dang! thats crazy. cant do anything exciting with that kind of weather

Having a drink to warm up is an illusion. The alcohol dilates your blood vessels, drawing more warm blood from your torso. You feel your own warmth better because there's more warm blood near the temp nerves in your skin.

Problem is, your body heat is also dissipated to the air faster. Outside long enough, and you'll die of hypothermia faster. So have your drink by the fire, and don't go outside afterward.

Do you have special additives for your automotive fluids?

-45F ... what the crap

I think there on to something with that global warming.

yeah, it has led to Global Cooling...anyone seen The Day After Tomorrow?

wow.. its a heat wave in Champaign today!! I woke up to -18 before the chill in Bloomington/Normal

-27° in Aurora this morning. -47° with windchill. Might reach 1° above today - darn near tropical.

On the upside, my ground water temp is around 50 degrees now. Talk about a great cold break on my haus ale brew session last night. :rockin:

Pretty darn cold here, too, about 10 with a -2 wind chill. In a few hours, I get to walk from Grand Central Station to Madison Square Garden, about a 20-minute walk. Should be fun.

But not nearly as fun as the walk from MSG back to GC at around midnight. Brrrrr.

its called a cab...maybe for the ride back. i dont know how much they cost

I thought I had it bad,U other Illinoisans have it quite bad

25 now at 2:30 in the afternoon here in NJ. House is 78, woodstove ripping. It's too hot, but I like to keep the house temp up until I go to bed. With a woodstove, everything is warm- walls, floor, etc. I let it go out overnight, last fillup is about 11:00 pm. Furnace comes on at around 3 am, start again with the stove at 7 am. I used to set an alarm clock and get up in the middle of the night to fill it, but thats a PITA. Tomorrow is supposed to be the coldest day in about 12 yrs here in NJ .

-9° is cold, but when you get a 30 mph wind blowin' at you and no trees to stop it, try saying windchill windschmill

windchill windschmill!
windchill windschmill!
windchill windschmill!

Try living in a valley between mountains where the arctic cold settles and the wind whips through!

Get some damn long underwear!

Or move to a more mamby pamby climate!

Other than some diesel, no additives. Unleaded will still burn at near -100F. Some types of diesel will freeze or gel up at -20, but you wont find those types up here.


I just plug it in and my autostart will start my car every 2 hours and run for 20 minutes when it is in the cold weather mode. Works nice.

I love the cold!!!!

My house is too warm now, so I'm in shorts and T-shirt. Went out to get the mail, and lingered outside. BEAUTIFUL.

I'm probably going to go for a walk tomorrow'.

It's about 85° F in Los Angeles today.

I haven't been right in the head for a long time.


The AC is on here at work.

No ****. You ever tried getting a cab at Grand Central? How about at MSG after an event? The walk would take less time than the waiting in line.

But thanks for the tip.

The sad thing is that I have a room mate that puts the heat on at night because he "gets cold."

I've been wearing a t-shirt and shorts all week, it's been great.

Ugh, 85º in January? That's why I will NEVER live in So Cal.

-10 here this morning without the wind chill. That's enough for me to put off brewing in the garage until Sunday.

Damn, -45F? I pulled my jacket out of the closet when it hit +45F....

I may be a wuss, but I am a warm wuss...

How are all you kids doing today? Keepin warm?

Well it has warmed up about 5 degrees so far this morning from when I first got up.



Yup, now it is only -30F

Again, windchill windscmill, I don't even bother finding out what that is, regular reading is low enough for me.
