Chicago is too cold right now...

I swear, if it wasn't such a great city, I'd be looking to move South right about now.

We have 11 degrees pure in Detroit but with the windchill it's -3.

Eek! Makes me happy it's 34 down here this morning. I do not miss the midwest winters.....

Don't get me started on wind chill! Here's what Google says about that: Lowest wind chill readings 15 below to 25 below zero in the morning.

Damn...wish I didn't have to take the L to work this morning.

Oh, man up! What? Are you new here?

cmon ace don't be such a wuss, spring is right around the corner (yeah right). :cross: I know the pain bro - I gotta plow this s##t

This is the first winter I haven't worked outside, usually on a high rise, in this weather!

Ten below here this morning. My car protested, but started.

Oh, and Chicago? Great city???? There is an oxymoron if I ever heard one!

It's lots warmer down south in Chicago than it is here right now!

I don't know the exact temperature (hate to look) but I'm certain that it's under -15 on our thermometer. The dog didn't even want to go out this morning and looked at Bob like "Are you kidding me?"

Dude, man the hell up! In case you haven't heard, there is plenty of America below you. Lots of warm, sunny America, right there waiting.

I am not a fan of the cold, but jeez, it's only about 0 now. You can't complain until it hits around -20 and the battery in your car dies.

Born and raised! Hell, I even moved back after a stint in DC. I like cold weather...up to a point.

Them's fighting words.

Yeah but there's nothing like having a heart condition and despite it be -3 outside you're sweating like a pig before you are half way from the parking structure to your office building (which is about the3/4s length of a football field apart maybe less) I'm in my building's elevator with some of my faculty and they're still shivering and I've got sweat dripping off my nose. Grrrr.

not sure how you live in that kinda weather. I'm bitching and its 31 here. I'm so glad i don't live there. Hell my nuts are hiding in my stomach. I don't even want to think about being in 0 weather.

Its currently -17 here in Cedar Rapids. With a wind chill hovering around -35

Ha, Green Bay sent the weather down to chill the Bears off before the big game this Sunday.

LOL! We got a guy across the road from our company who had to move up from Texas to run the new plant. We were moving some stuff to his building this fall and standing there in long shirts and he's huddled up in 3 layers and a winter coat complaining.

I think he's eagerly waiting for the day when he can move back...

hilarious. minus 6.5 air temp when i woke up. i'd be happy with above-zero temps.

didn't think my car was gonna start....but then it did

my breath was freezing on my scarf when i was walking from the parking lot to the office today.

funny story - guy who sits next to me is from california, moved here about a year ago. tonight his boy scout troop is going....camping....

bahahahahhaha!

LOL my BIL is from Sydney and he an my sister now live in CA. They came to WI many years ago in early November and he spent the whole time bitching about the weather- said he would never come back except in July. I asked him if he wanted to go ice fishing with me. "No Effing Way!" LOL swearing sounds funny with an Australian accent.............

I think it's sort of balmy in Green Bay today. I'm certain that it made it up to 0 or higher today.

I took my bike for a spin along the beach today; shorts, T-shirt, flip flops.

Bought a Pliny on the way home.


(sorry, it's my turn to be a JO today)

You can do that here, too. I wouldn't recommend it, at least not the flip flops, but.........
