It is as Cold as as Well-Digger's Arse in NC!!!

[Rob Sharer]

Whose idea was this?

I'm clinging to a scorching hot cup of tea for the umpteenth morning in a row, wondering where the Sweet Sunny South has gone. I could've stayed in Ithaca if I wanted to freeze my knackers off!

Ooooh! I KNEW you Northern-types wouldn't have any sympathy!

Just don't expect me to be passing out any hankies when it's 100 degrees and 100% humidity in YOUR 'hood!

I just rode my bicycle in to work here in Mass, and I'm toasty warm.
I did wear 3 pairs of gloves, though.

[Rob Sharer]

I'll just bet you are. Symptom of hypothermia, that is....

Geez mang - I'm dying to get out. I have no problem with the temp, but the road salt, snow, and black ice out here in the central part of the state is a no go (at least on a road bike).

(oh yeah, to the OP....pfffftttt. I thought well diggers were tough.) :Spank

[Papajuice]

Its only 18 in Dallas

yeah, I'm riding with 700cx35mm studded Nokian tires, but it's still sketchy out there. It's still really all about technique, though.

[scottlr]

It was -7°F yesterday plus windchill and we felt like -17°F. GMA just now showed their weather map. For the east coast it said Blustery, right over Iowa it said Very Cold. It is.

Good luck with technique on black ice with 700x22 slicks....

Rob:

Syracuse is a bit cool - I think it's about a week now hovering below 30. Ithaca, probably about the same I'd imagine!

[Boobala]

14°F right now. Forecast for a little more than half that by Friday.

I hear ya man. This is normal winter weather. Everyone should be forced to endure lake effect snow for at least a couple of months. Whats that? The meteorolgist doesn't see snow in the forecast yet you wake up with a foot of it with a nice 40 mph wind....Yeah, those are always fun days.

And I have to note, its far worse in other parts of the country anyways. The cold is good for you! It helps you think clearly. At least that's what I've convinced myself so that I enjoy the winter more.

[Blueswede]

I love California........:phones

[zombywoof]

Ain't been above 20 degrees here since before X'mas. Supposed to go down to about -10 degrees by Thursday night. And snow, and more snow and then more snow.

[MudPies]

International Falls started yesterday at -38F so.......... sack up sally boy.

haha. And thats without factoring in the crazy winds you guys get there! I visited my cousin in Minnesota last year and it was absurdly cold. I am traveling to Russia in a month for work...it should be cold and interesting.

[tim boehlert]

i hear that Niagara Falls and North Tonawanda got over 3 foot of snow - yesterday!

My sack is cold.

[Alister]

Speaking of the thread title, my dad was a well-driller (in Iowa), and worked out this climate, sometimes standing in water, winter after winter.

That was back when men were men.

[Rob Sharer]

And sacks were cold.


R

[dsmc80]

And sacks were cold.

haha, thats funny.

I say this in complete seriousness, I hate warm weather. I have been hot all of my life. When the winter comes around I am in paradise. :love:

[Telecaster62]

I'll admit it, I'm a thin blooded southern nancy boy. I'm freezing my nads off this week. Coldest we've seen it in many, many years. Normally I don't even need a jacket during the day this time of year. NOT THIS YEAR!!!!! oh no.......Teens at night and 42 for a high? WTF?

[niersbach]

Yesterday we came into work (right by RDU airport) and the bastards still hadnt gotten the heat going...it was freekin 48degrees in the office...finally at noon we all went to work from home!! LOL It was below 20 this morning...

[Bob Maximus]

I walked off the plane in Miami (from the Caymens where it was 80+) a couple of nights ago and felt like I stepped in to a freezer. It was 40-ish. :(

[suhrbrutal]

Geez, high of 42 would be a dream in Northern IL.....What a bunch of nancies.

[neville5000]

Pretty nice in my neck of the woods. A lite jacket covers it. We're regularly at 110 degrees in the summer though. Argh!

[Rattles]

Another carolina person who is freezing....not my nads, but something else! I don't remember a time when it's been this cold for this long of time period. Let it snow...........

[Bucksears]

Rob,
It was 15deg this morning at my place in Clayton; here at work (office not far from the airport) we have the accuweather regional map up and it shows snow in some parts of of NC today.
This has been the longest 'cold spell' in a while for this area.

[trisonic]

I lived in Greensboro for about 6 years - I always found it barmy, er, balmy except when you get Ice Storms, of course.
I don't miss those. On my deck in NJ it's 26.5f and it feels nice but it's going to get cold on Friday, apparently.
This is what we Brits used to call phlegm.

Best, Pete.

15, huh? Colder than I thought.

Ya know, I once was acclimatized to this sort of thing, twice really; stints in Ithaca and the Black Forest added antifreeze to even my thin blood. Still, for bone-chilling, cold, nothing beats the damp, grey mists of the Irish Republic. Something about the humidity just drives even 45 degrees straight to your marrow.

[Stike]

Rob you need some Jac cain chili.

[The_Whale]

It was 25ish this morning. I saw two motorcyclists commuting to work before 7am. The local lake froze over around Christmas; it froze very early last year too.
