    With all the talk and prediction that this is the cold snap of a generation and we may break records, what are they predicting for you and where are you?

    Looks a little chilly at 8:00 but other than that not bad. :faint:

    Nothing like that here. -3F but -30ish with wind chill figured in.

    Stay warm everyone.

    We dont often get below zero here in the eastern Appalachian mountains.
    Calling for next 2 nights to get -6 and -1.
    Not record cold but close enough.
    If i gotta go out, I'll probably need a coat and hat.:yes:

    When I was working, I would head out in -40f and then combine the wind for even colder temps. Not fit for work in unheated spaces and I really don't have a reason why I didn't tell the boss "No". Something like that would never happen now!

    Wind chill is supposed to be -45 to -60 with a real temp of -30 So what. :coldfire:

    I find it interesting, how different locations have different words for the same temperatures. ReelFaster Has a 42 degree high as not as cold.. Here that would be a warm spring day!!
