Old Man Winter has arrived -10 Windchill tonight

Come get me Old Man Winter

And yes I live in South Central Indiana.

Gonna put the stove to the test tonight.

I'm ready. I like having some extra horsepower this winter!!!

 

I just about froze to death walking from my truck earlier and its in the 30s here

I wouldnt make it 1 minute in -10 degree weather

 

Yep, been chilly here off and on for a few days.
We're due for -3 "real feel" overnight.

 

Now I just count the days until it reaches the east coast...for now it's 52 outside

 

Ever heard of "long underwear"???


I wear long johns almost continuously from October thru March!!


I do have more than one pair..................and I do launder them......................about every other week!!!!

 

I've got one pair, but not sure where they are

 

Our electric company has been running some ads lately, because of the proposed power increase this winter.
They are asking us to wear long johns on fridays and calling this part of casual fridays.

 

You'd get used to it, -10 would start to feel like 20, first time I experienced -30 was bone shattering, felt the cold through all layers of clothing right to the bone, didn't get used to that.

 

WW, its different out by you for sure due to the fact of sustained winds. Around here, we have windy days also but starting somewhere in southern Minnesota, the sustained thing is just unavoidable! And it does cut right through ya. I hope DH doesn't have an "outside for extended periods" job.

 

A dry cold is much more bearable than a damp cold IMHO......................especially if wind is involved.

 

True. 20 degrees in Calif. feels like 0 in Colo.
Coldest I've been through was -60 wind chill, never ever want to be outside in that again.

 

I've never been in negative temps. It's gotten into single digits down here, but never that cold. I may have to take a trip up north to see what it's all about

(just kidding, I'll stay down here where I can usually feel my extremities )

 

The problem that most "rebels" have when they come up North in the winter/cold months; is that they try to look "stylish", rather than dressing for the weather.

Tight jeans, loafers and a wind breaker don't cut it up here in the winter. And I'm not as far North as many here!!!!

 

I stick to carhartt coats, flannel (fleece lined and normal), regular jeans, and work boots down here. I'm not very cold tolerant, though I do prefer it to the heat of a GA summer. I've got my eye on a wool ll bean guide jacket with a windstopper layer for the real cold days here. My carhartt is warm, but not great against wind
