It is a whopping 8 degrees right now, and with wind chill that makes it -6. This is all new to me, seeing as I am a california girl. Not only is it beyond freezing outside, I have to go to work in this weather! I can tell you now that the heater in the car will definately not heat up fast enough for me. I don't even have a winter jacket....eek It is going to be about 25 today, but probably feel like the way it is now. I am going to drive real slow, don't want to hit any ice (there will be ice out, right? again, california girl here)

Over here in NC, Meagan, it's all the way up to 19 and snowing!
Try to stay warm out there!
We we have the same weather up here in Northern Va. The roads will be icy and sometimes there are patches of ice that you can't see, so be careful. The wind here is really strong. I am not looking forward to going outside. Try to stay warm...
You tell her Tracey.........I went out to start Jerrys car for him and BRRRRRRRRR
Just go slow when it's snowing Meagan and you'll be fine......and remember, try to not hit your brakes on any bridges when it's snowy/icy out.
MAn I would be freezing to death in those low numbers. I think the last time it got that cold here in South Georgia was when I was born in 62 it was 5 degrees. Yeah I know that has been a day or two

Brrr, its 8 here too! Our water pump has frozen - my neighbours dog tore up the insulation so we have to get some new insulation. Grrr. I swear I could kill that dog, it is nothing but trouble - a pit bull.
I just made some muffins for breakfast - Am still waiting for my vegemite to arrive so its muffins til then and I just realised I can't wash the dishes.
Hurry up and warm up!!!!!
Stay safe Meagan - enjoy the winter

We are at -4 Centigrade and it is snowing. I hate driving in this but I had to come home at lunchtime to see to Persil. Usually when it is snowing hard I take the bus, though then I have to walk on ice up the hill to the college, and that can be scary.
I woke up to 2-3 inches of snow this moning. It was supposed to miss us. Yuck! Snow here is only pretty for a few hours, then it is just a big mess.
Scooter always cries and begs to go out, and since he is a little heat seeking furball, I thought he would turn around and run back in, and that would be the end of it for a few days. Oh, noooooooooo. He ran around, romping in the snow like it was fun! I had to go out and get him, and of course he thought it was great fun having mom chase him! Then he had to come put his little cold, wet feet on me to warm them. I am typing with 1 hand, because he won't let me put him down.

Snow?
What's Snow??!?!
Be careful out there Meagan! And again, Congratulations on your new job!!

Well, it got down to 17 degrees overnight here just south of Atlanta. The daytime high is expected to be 38 F. This is 20 to 25 degrees colder than the average late December temperatures are supposed to be. Heck, the high today is only 3 degrees warming than the average low.
Long range forecast predicts that Atlanta might even enjoy a white Christmas this year - snow is forecast for the 25th and 26th. Figures, I move south expecting to get away from all of this, and it follows me! (Hey, sorry guys!) Oh well, back where I came from in Ontario it is currently 3 degrees so I guess I shouldn't complain too much - and it is bright and sunny outside.

My hat is off to those who have to deal with REALLY cold weather.

It feels really cold here today
- it got down to -4 last night and didn't get above +1 all day today. Plus, the wind's coming down from the north so its icy brrrrr. More of the same for tomorrow we're told.
It's 16 degrees C here, but boy is it windy outside! Don't know if I'll be leaving the house today.
Meagan, wear lots of layers of clothes to stay warm, e.g., T-shirt, top, sweater, and a cardigan/sweatshirt, tights/pantyhose and knee socks under heavy slacks. Fleece is a good idea. As far as a winter jacket is concerned, I'd recommend down (warm and washable).
