Where I live here in California, we don’t usually see snow except in the higher elevations. But mid week it was 29 degrees when I was driving to work at 6AM! My boss told me that there was a fatality on one of the expressways where a driver hit black ice and went off the road! Drove him nuts because that driver was driving the same type of car his son has!!!! But his son is okay–wasn’t him!! So no matter where you live, you got to be careful–snow or no! But be especially careful of the ‘yellow’ snow–just not good for eating at all! XD
So much for that – we got frosted over the weekend. It wasn’t much, though, and the roads are clear again. Tonight i can go take the photo for my Christmas card… 8)

I always liked -40. It’s the same Celsius as it is Farenheit. I remember it getting that cold a couple of times. Always seems to be bright and sunny on days like those. I guess even the clouds stay inside when it’s that cold.

What was the coldest?? 😮 I didn’t realize we were the second coldest place on the planet on Sunday (and this is why I stayed inside…..) 😆And today I went outside in a sweater and a tshirt, and I was COMFORTABLE – at -21C or-5F! 😀 I love this kind of weather. -20 – 25 is just perfect for me!
Ok I had gloves on too, but that was really only because I had to touch metal handles….
Well geez sometimes this makes me glad I live in NJ! We had craploads of rain on Sunday but no snow. I don’t know if we are due for some or not…the weather’s been pretty mild actually although I heard on the radio today it will get much colder over the next few days.
This is very typical Jersey…up, down, up, down…. 😕Snow from last week’s storm here. Had to drive Thursday morning across the Adirondacks for an urgent family matter though. Blizzard conditions driving back through this one stretch (would have been better if one person in a four wheel drive jeep wasn’t scared of the drive and moved off the road to let the long line of people who knew who to drive in the conditions pass her (there were plenty of places and opportunity). We were going to drive the Thruway over, then take 81 up past Watertown, but we opted against it (that would have been worse with the lake effect and high winds – that would have been a ground blizzard, considering they were talking upwards of 6 inches an hour in some places. We only skirted the Northeastern edge of the lake effect area and it was crappy, but luckily only for a relatively small portion of the drive up and back (back was worse). I know other areas of the Thruway closed below Buffalo a few days ago (Dunkirk south to the PA border). We haven’t had much to speak of since though (the temperature will drop tonight though, so back to cold – better than this soggy drippy, but just above freezing… it’s melting my snowman and making my mittens soggy to fixing him! Some free time to break out the cross-country skis will be nice. No snow shoes, so I can’t do that.
I’m amused by all the places seeing snow this year and in a decent quantity, like Houston, and parts of southern Louisiana (I know it happens, but it’s rare, and usually not in the amounts being seen).

Brrrrrrr! You were comfortable in a sweater and t-shirt in below zero temps? Were you on drugs? That would be the only way I could be comfortable! 😈 Last week it was 29 degrees at 6AM in the morning and I thought that was cold! Blood ain’t thick enough since I’m living in a sunny state.
I was out in a t-shirt and slippers this morning too and it was -41 with the wind, LOL. -20 is just really not that bad when you get used to it, now you put me somewhere that get hotter that 25 (77f) and I feel like I am DIEING.
Gulp. I think anything below 25°C (77°F) is cold. However, Ruffian’s right – it’s surprising how quickly one can adjust to a lengthy spell of extreme weather, be it hot or cold.

So very true! Anything over 70F and I start sweating like a pig… ‘Course anything under 70F and I’m freezing to death 😳 😆
