Talon Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 WOW Lisa, that sure is cold!!!! It is 7 degrees here, and much colder with the wind chill. But I'm laying in bed with my laptop keeping warm. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 well, i am lucky i am not living in such cold climates. still I heard there is a difference between cold and cold. depending on the humidity factor amongst others. here when it is cold it gets right into your bones. in the netherlands when it is much colder than here you dress up warm and you are fine. funny thing, weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatB Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 You're so right, FairY. I had the pleasure of spending a couple of winter weeks in Iceland a few years ago, back to back with a couple of weeks in northern Maine. Temperature-wise, Iceland was much colder but Maine felt much colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatB Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 And speaking of cold, it's COLD here in eastern Virginia this morning. I know it sounds wimpy next to Talon's 7 degrees and LisaM's -7, but we just aren't used to below freezing temps and we're at "24F feels like 15" right now. Yesterday's snow melted a bit in the afternoon sun and has frozen hard, so I expect the traffic reporters will have a busy morning. At least today is a holiday for many in this area, so rush hour traffic shouldn't be quite as heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Cold here in the UK,with plenty of rain & strong winds :angry: Roll on summer B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Its cold as blue blazes here too this morning at 10:26 am, single digits but the sun is shining and the snow is still hanging around, an old wife's tale is that is snow is still on the ground it is waiting for more to fall, bring it on.:blink: I know Joe is a happy man today, his beloved Giants are going to the Super Bowl and I hope they win.

LisaM Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 There are truly different "cold" temps. Also, my dad calls from the Florida Keys and apologizes for complaining about when it gets down to the 60's... 60 degrees to him probably feels the same as 10 degrees does to me! So I say to him if the worst thing going on is that we have to complain about the weather than all is going pretty well, right? Wherever you are, keep warm...and that means different things to different people in different places, right? (like the three girls who were wearing yellow bikini tops at the Packers/Giants game last night...apparently they REALLY wanted to get on TV. It worked.) And Joe - I really didn't want the Giants to win but as a Vikings fan I had to cheer for them vs. the Packers! And then I REALLY had to hope the kicker made that final field goal attempt after missing the other two (even though the second wasn't really his fault). I felt so bad for him. Take care, all!

Guest Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yes, Kat that is exactly what I meant Yesterday after I left home I found it was WARM :ohmy: Not summer warm, but the cold front that had come from Siberia that week before OBVIOUSLY has left us :lol: I already feel a difference when I go to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is situated at a hill/mountain and temperatures there are usually colder than they are here in the Tel-Aviv area (they even get snow some years). But Tel-Aviv being near the sea and Jerusalem land inwards, Jerusalem weather isn't getting into your bones, as it does here, in Tel-Aviv area. Now, the funny thing is that in the homes usually in the mornings it is colder than it is outside :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatB Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 FairY, I suppose houses there are built to retain the cool to ward off the summer heat, but in winter that works against you! It's so interesting to hear from folks in different parts of the world. You mentioned the Netherlands in a previous post. Does your work take you to these foreign parts?

Guest Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 No, I was born and grew up in the Netherlands And, you are right again, Kat. These houses are build to keep cool inside. It would be nice if we would have central heating or something (new houses do have some kind of floorheating i believe) because the way it is now you either use an electric- or oil/gas heater that really doesn't warm the whole apartment or the airconditioner turned to heat - but that air that comes out of that is soooooo dry that it suffocated me (very strange is that when cold air comes out of it in the summer it doesn't seem dry at all and I am fine with it). Anyway, y'day we had some rain. By far not as much as is necessary for the country but it was nice. I enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siobha9 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Warm spell???? Whats that??? It is miserable here... It is freezing cold literally. The car was frozen solid at 9.30 this morning. And it is a starry night now which means it will be cold tonight too. We had snow on Friday... the kids actually got a snow day for the first time in about 3 years. Roll on Spring..... BUT..... I am having a good day.. got a good grade on my last assignment, Oisin is sitting on my shoulder at the moment without biting me which is a break through. And I visited a lady who has the funniest Greys I have ever seen this morning. And they talked to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaM Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Had to actually leave the house today...it's -7F right now...windchill -25. Had to go downtown Mpls to hear hubby sing opera at a recital and it was WINDY WINDY WINDY. Fortunately it warms me up to hear him sing. Have to go out again as my daughter finally wants to get a haircut so I'm taking advantage of it before she changes her mind! Gonna come home and settle in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa with a splash of butterscotch schnapps in it. Mm-Yummy! Hope you have fun on your cruise, Laurie!
