A Wee Bit Chilly

Wouldn't -55 below be a double negative?
Thanks for the good wishes. They've called school again for tomorrow because of the cold. It's supposed to be up around freezing for the weekend, though.

A sweltering 21 F last night and expecting 18 F tonight. I already went out and euthanized all of my plants.

Sure, good point Dave. But you put the negative sign in front of the Celsius numbers, so it was visually confusing to me. Eventually I figured it out, but I never actually noticed that you were typing the phrase "degrees below"....I need to learn better reading comprehension

Sorry. Mixed symbology or something.

Dallas was colder than New York today...meh! I work from home.

well, it was 'warm' here i guess you could say but it was that point where it's raining and it's about 2º too warm to snow.. (i.e.- worst weather ever
) -
So Pete, did your furnace run continuously?
According to Garrison Keillor this weather makes us serious.

Furnace? I have central air, runs at 72 degrees 365 days a year.

Bloody hell that's cold!!
Bit of contrast here; spent 5 days over New Year sailing the Whitsunday islands on the Great Barrier Reef in North Queensland... 5 to 10 knot winds and 21²C [70²F] minimum during the nights, up to 36²C [97²F] during the day with humidity in the 80's!!Glorious!!!!

Andrew, that sounds like fun although that's a bit warmer than I like.

It seems like most of our European/Romanian weather went to you. At this time of year we should have had the coldest time(-20°C,-30°C ),instead the last three,four weeks it was between 3°C and 17°C. This is very bad for most of the plants and threes because they are flourishing and then the cold will come and goodbye fruits and plants !! At least they say it will come gradually(but still...).
I hope for the best and wish you a warm weather and wish me a proper cold weather ! -
You know its cold when cows seek warmth on your hood.

It was +5°F during my drive home a little bit ago. I just wore my fingerless wool gloves instead of my big heavy mittens.

It's actually quite boring over here in California. Wishing for any sign of rain. A break from all this sunshine...
Boiling water freezes in midair? Someone explain please--must be something other than simple temperature drop...?Hey, nice surf video. Thanks for that. I had no idea the great lakes got waves like that. The surfers were pretty good too. Watching that it's hard to remember it is fresh water.

Although I wear a lab coat at work, I'm no scientist but I expect the reason boiling water flashes to cloud and snow in extreme cold air is related to the fact that the water is less dense than cold water would be and molecules are are more disturbed due to being hot. You can supercool water below the normal freezing point and yet it remains liquid until it is disturbed. You can find videos showing bottles of liquid water that are below 0 degrees C which when tapped on the side, rapidly turn solid.
