NightWoundsTime Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Why don't you muthafucking east coasters just move to the west coast? Snow is something we drive TO not IN. Or you could move to Florida and know nothing about snow. I've seen snow once in my life, in PA, and I was about five. Quote
guzziguy Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 The weather is pretty strange at the moment. While the midwest and east are getting extremely cold weather, in socal we are having near record high temps. It's supposed to be 78 F in Santa Barbara today. It's really nice but really weird to get this kind of weather in January. Quote
Old Pa Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 -23F this morning at the house. Wind chill around -37F. No more snow and the little featherballs haven't discovered their new 10# hanging lunch counter. Only a matter of time. Quote
n_maher Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Damn, that's cold. It was 1.something at the house this morning but eerily calm. Quote
grawk Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I hate wind chill We got a dusting last night, and it's 30F here. Quote
aardvark baguette Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Its not too bad outside, but the office seems to like pumping out nice frigid AC in place of heat lately. I kept moving the thermostat up higher and higher, and its now at 82, but feels like 50 (already notified buildings + grounds people) I've been wearing my coat for like a week in here. Quote

My lab is drafty. Where I sit, I'm fucking hot. But the people who sit closer to the windows are bundled up all day. Keeps life interesting. Quote
Pars Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 It was -14F air temp here this morning; supposed to be a bit colder tomorrow morning. Not much for wind fortunately, but I get into my car in the garage and get out in a parking garage at work, so don't have to spend too much time outside and rarely have to clean the car off. Winter still sucks however. Nice thing about getting this cold is when we climb back up to around freezing (this weekend) it feels pretty nice out Quote
Old Pa Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 -22F at the house this morning, but we're to climb to a balmey 9F later in the day. There seem to be hard lines for critters and machines in the cold. I don't take the dogs out hunting below 5F any more; too hard on all of us and there's never much game out. By 0F, we're done with our nightly mile walk. At -10F, the lines of dead towed-in cars by the local mechanics start to grow. By -20F conventional shock absorbers might as well be steel rods and the fog of exhaust gas at stop lights is ethereal. Bah. Quote
n_maher Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 -13F at the house this morning but thankfully no wind. Pretty fracken cold all the same though. Quote

We had 15F this morning and the natives are restless. I miss snow. Quote
Hopstretch Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Round about zero here. My son isn't too enthusiastic about his swim lesson today, for some reason. Quote
en480c4 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Yeah, the greyhound is having a rough first winter up from FL. Not impressed is putting it mildly. Walks are the same distance, but take significantly less time Quote
Aimless1 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 6 degrees with out windchill this morning. Went to put the dog out. He stuck his nose out the door, did an about face and hightailed back into the house. Apparently he is smarter than I am as I went out and went to work instead of staying home. Quote
JBLoudG20 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 0 Degrees around here, but its the usual amount of motherfuckingwindy here in Storrs, so its feels brutal. I know its bad, when I building hop to get where I need to go, usually I enjoy the cold. Quote
grawk Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 You shoulda taken the katana to work today Quote
JBLoudG20 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 You shoulda taken the katana to work today Heh that would have been a load of fun. Quote
Hopstretch Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Yeah, the greyhound is having a rough first winter up from FL. Not impressed is putting it mildly.

Dusty Chalk Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I have a thermal undershirt on today, because the office gets cold after 7 or so (I think they turn the heat down). I'm comfy for now.-22F at the house this morning, but we're to climb to a balmey 9F later in the day. There seem to be hard lines for critters and machines in the cold. I don't take the dogs out hunting below 5F any more; too hard on all of us and there's never much game out. By 0F, we're done with our nightly mile walk. At -10F, the lines of dead towed-in cars by the local mechanics start to grow. By -20F conventional shock absorbers might as well be steel rods and the fog of exhaust gas at stop lights is ethereal. Bah. Wow, that was poetic. Nice imagery. Quote
en480c4 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 One step closer with that leash and I'll bite your friggin' nuts off! Hahahahahahaha! That's almost the exact same pose she does... Rolls over, and looks at me like "There's no f'ing way I'm going out there!" It takes some doing once the leash is on to get her out of her bed. Quote
Old Pa Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah, the greyhound is having a rough first winter up from FL. Not impressed is putting it mildly. Walks are the same distance, but take significantly less time HAHAHAHAHA. Lola, my four-year-old (shown in my avatar and above on her back) is just nuts about snow, especially after nearly nailing a squirrel yesterday under the bird feeder. Since then, she's been reviewing the backyard's happy hunting ground at high speed at every opportunity. Rosie, my eleven-year-old, (administering the "sugar" to Lola) is much more reluctant about the cold and when it's more than double digits below zero, she goes around the back alternating feet she is holding up. She needs no words to fully express her distate for the cold. Neither spaniel has needed a leash (except in heavy traffic) since they learned to heel. This morning was 22F; that's a 44F increase in temp from yesterday at the same time. And the barometer dropped more than an inch. Another wearing feature of winter is the weather volatility and its effects on the body and psyche. Dark grey monochrome now with light snow; no color and no horizon. The depths of winter look like this. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 MOAR SNOW YAY. I concur the sentiment - at least it's been mostly light snow thus far in the season. Quote
