Default Cold in the north

For all those Up north that were wondering, Last month, when winter was going to be hear, Just take a walk outside. It's hear.
Hears a cool thing to do if your in a -degree location of America. Get a small pan of boiling water, and take it outside and fling it hard into the air. It turns to ice and snow before it hits the ground. You can't just dump it , you have to throw it (just the water) pretty hard (to break up the water) . Then you might want to go back inside , cause the neighbors have just wrote down some stuff about you.

Default Yup

Yeah, Ron it's finally gotten cold here in Lower New York State.
Single digit numbers with a wind chill well below zero.
Think I'll pass on tossing the water into the air, my noisy neighbors think I'm crazy as it is!

Post We've had a colder than average winter.

Our winter has been colder than average. But we haven't had extreme cold. We've had lots of near zero weather but nothing like we usually get. We've had lots of snow this year. Much more than normal. I'm ready for Spring. Snow on the ground since before Thanksgiving. That's a long time. I'm glad winter is finally moving East.

Wow, I'm feeling a little guilty for complaining that the low at my house was upper 50's. You just have to love sunny California.

Reported from Central Park 02/06/2007 12:51 PM EST
Temperature: 22?F -6?C
Conditions: Fair
Winds: W 8 MPH W 13 KPH
Relative Humidity: 29%
Barometer: 30.16 Falling
Visibility: 10.00 Miles 16.09 Kilometers
Feels Like: 13?F

Not to bad right now, I'm North of Central Park by about 75 miles so our temperature is a bit cooler, 19 degrees F. That knocks the wind chill down to at least 10 degrees F.
Might get to the freezing mark by Friday, wow, almost a heat wave.

You know, Water is the only substance that expands when it gets hot and expands when it gets cold. Pretty strange. And it can't be compressed.

We got -2 now and 4-5" of snow falling right now and it doesn't look like it wants to stop anytime soon. Yesterday morning it was -11 (not a wind chill) add in 15-20 mph winds and now your cold. We've been lucky this year but normally about the 1st of Feb it begins to really chill out.

This morning it was 0 at my house; colder than my ex-wife's heart!
