Holy mother of God is it freezing outside! Our high today is 7. Seven! You know it's bad when the high is in the single digits! Just opening the door made me feel like a popsicle. My dog took two steps outside and immediately turned around and said screw that. :lol

Well.... It's on 63 here with a 25 mph wind. Feels like your in an obstacle course driving down the road with the crap falling everywhere!

All that crap weather DBK is talking about is coming this way and it should hit a high of ~45 tomorrow..... :bored Time to go to Texas to work for a few days - by the time I get home it will be 60 again! :thumbsup

ANNOYING, REALLY ANNOYING! Our temperature here in Calgary is MINUS 20 F. the snow on all but the major roads gets pounded down to hardpack or ice. They claim that it is actually slipperier around freezing but that doesn't take into account frozen shocks, stiff steering, defrosters that just cant keep up with the cold,and a vibrating driver. The city doesn't even bother with salt at this temperature, it has so little effect. On top of that we have the Canadian immigration policy "welcome to Canada, here's your drivers license, have fun. Someone just slid into my Jeep parked in front of my house a week ago. Just go drive your GT, with a little more discretion when it's "cold".

BBQ going. Kids playing in backyard. About 80F today. Guess the SoCal BS is worth it.

I have never been in single digit temps before, what's it feels like?

Bah, 70 this, 80 that.

You want to know what it feels like? Stick your arm in your freezer, then subtract about 20 degrees, add 10 mph wind. It's been a pretty cold and snowy winter this year actually. I didn't drive my car for a couple days and when I first got back in, it was actually frozen in place. Couldn't get the wheels to turn.
