if your inside and all topped up with christmas antifreeze, then you should not freeze when you go outside. -38 this morning. thermometer is so old even the red dye has dyed. have seen the red down to the bottom years ago. just keeping all the home wood fires burning and cows fed and water not freezing is a full time job.so hurry up anti-freeze weather , tired of this freezing weather, but that will be in april or may.

Hello where are you at . I live in central MN and 18 below at 7 am today it was 18 below at 5;30 pm and getting windy when I came in from chores.
 
Has a crew working in Ely, MN. They called me an asked when it was too cold to work? I ask how cold is it? His reply was, I dont know all the red stuff is hiding in the little ball at the bottom of the thermometer .
 
I have a strong preference for anti-freeze weather, myself.

C'mon SPRING! ...and I'm sure it's just around the corner (at least that's what I start telling myself in October each year LOL

Technically speaking, it is on it's way as of today, so they say on Dec. 22nd every year, hehe.
 
Our son is working near Boulder, Colorado these days. Tells us it was -18 this morning and his pickup windshield cracked on the way to work. No thanks.
 
I am in central alberta can. This cold weather is headed your way tommorow ,involving most of the U. S. And its not me sending it south.
 
Hope he got his way , even that snow scrunching from my boots is its own sound in this cold.
 
Just 20 above here in south Louisiana with a chill factor of 8 but if you have ever been down here when its cold the humidity is what chills you to the bone! And yes I have been up in the UP of Michigan when it was below zero.in my opinion this is worse.of course our winter is much shorter and its gonna be in the 70s by late next week
 
The coldest I have ever been was when we lived in Connecticut. I don't think it was ever below zero but it was always damp. There weren't enough clothes to keep warm. Minnesota is much nicer.
 
You've not been cold till you get to Huston in the winter. 32 degrees F was colder than -20 in WY Loaded a Generator that was 40,000 LBS in Huston and went to WY with it. Like to froze to death loading. Was not to bad in WY at -20 out. Calm day in WY is 40 MPH wind.

You're right about the dampness. When I was in the Army in Okinawa you had to wear your field jacket if it got much below 50 degrees! In Minnesota that's still practically shirt sleeve weather! The dampness of the air made all the difference.


Right now it's plenty cold in Minnesota also. High temps have not been above zero for the last several days. We just need to keep reminding ourselves that in 6 months we'll be complaining just as loud about all the heat and humidity! We never seem to stay satisfied for very long!
 
We've had windshields crack several times in the cold. The lower part of the windshield is warm or even hot and the top is cold and even ice covered yet. The difference in temp between the top and the bottom of the glass is to much as one end is expanding in the heat and the other end is still contracted from the cold.
 
I was born and raised in the Houston area and +30 in the winter was brutal due to the humidity.....that didn't leave when the front hit like it did when I moved to N. TX later in life. In the 18 years I lived there from birth, it snowed one time...about an inch. My older sister and I rolled up a snow man and it took the whole yard to get enough snow for the job.

Fast forward, in the service in Biloxi, MS, cold front comes through, 30F type thing, concrete 3 story barracks, full of windows.....every time we had a front we froze to death because one of the rooms on the floor had a couple of guys from Ohio and they kept their windows open (on the North side of the barracks no less) and froze us out. Going to their room to raise !@#$ about freezing, they were sound asleep under one GI issue blanket.
