It was 40/4.5 here this morning!  Panic in the streets, there has been a run on down coats at Costco. 
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

It was -33c this morning.  I saw a -41c (with windchill) Sunday morning.

Extreme cold combined with all sorts of indoor recreation activities being closed led to a tough weekend.

For our daytime him we're at -26c / -37c with windchill.

That's a little nippy, isn't it?

I'll be a rich man when I get there...I still have three of them from all my Alaska time.

Apparently Edmonton Airport almost hit an all-time record low. Thermometer hit -43.8, whereas the all-time record is -43.9.

Yes it's rather chilly.

The coldest temperature in recorded history of Austin Texas occurred in 1949 with -2F/-17C.

With this current blue norther that is hovering over Texas we may challenge that record early next week. My house is currently covered in ice  :ph34r:

Too cold for Texans.

It's "only" -20c right now (-27c windchill).  We've been under an Extreme Cold Warning for over a week.  I thought it was supposed to break this weekend, but now I see it's been pushed more to next Tuesday.

This, combined with the general lockdown going on, sucks.

I think it might be the same weather system. Everything from North Dakota to the gulf is frozen over this weekend.

It was -2 when I put the garbage out this morning.  Felt like I should have put on a jacket for the walk to the curb.  But I don't have a winter jacket.

You're one of those people who loves to break holes in ice and go swimming aren't you?

25C/77F here.  My neighbors already have their air conditioner running.  I prefer to keep my windows open for the time being; consequently every time I get on a conference call my colleagues from Rochester or Toronto wants to know who has the pet bird.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Nothing WTF about that, that is just a normal winter's day in Florida.

Haven't done it for a long time - doesn't get cold enough here.  But I did enjoy it - especially with a sauna nearby  :)

Like Valmy & BB, I have the same weather system overing to keep things at -20.
