Once again. -28 with a winchill of -52. This is nuts. I'm just glad my cars are starting. I wish I had an auto-start though.

I didn't know this but I guess they changed the windchill chart a few years back. So our windchill a few years ago would have been -72. Just like the good old days at the turn of the century.

You're right that is nuts! That is just way too cold.. Just out of curiousity how many layers of clothing do you wear?? I have never been in that sort of miserable cold, but all I can think of is that little kid from a Christmas Story that could barely walk and had his arms way out because he had so many layers of clothing, at least thats how I would be dressed  Keep warm.

Nikko - have you tried the 180 ear muffs? I bought a pair for my father and for my son for Christmas and they both love them. Keeps their ears warm when they're scraping their cards. Of course the temperature here isn't anywhere close to yours. Yesterday morning it was 11 degrees here.

Good Grief!!  After reading all these posts about minus wind chill, snow and Ice - I'll take my 27 and clear weather report for this morning as a blessing! And the frost on the ground was as white as I hope to ever see it around here!  But the good part of it is, it only lasts for a day and then we are back to typical winter weather. Thank goodness I live in Florida - I would probably die frozen if I lived up north somewhere!

If I see one more "news reporter" freeze an egg on the sidewalk, I am going to throw the TV out the window and see how long it takes for it to freeze!!!

No thanks. Here it's supposed to get down to 3 degrees tonight. I know that's nothing compared to you, Nikko, but for here that's quite cold. Brrr!

EM-
My husband and I are moving to Omaha sometime this summer (He works for the Union Pacific Railroad and is being transferred) - we're living in St. Louis now - won't miss the hot humid summers, but our winter is nowhere near as cold and snowy as yours! We are both from northern Iowa, so it will feel like "old times", but I never missed the cold winters.
Ahhhh, Omaha! Not quite home but very, very close. I've got friends there now who have been trying to get me to move up there. Enjoy the steaks!!

Here in KY it is 45 and it feels pretty good. Hay Regan did you toss your coffee in the air and watch it freeze.

Nope, I didn't have too because they had a demonstration on the local news. It doesn't really freeze because it's hot it more or less evaporates into a big steamy cloud of coffee.
