between commercials the weather girl just did a quick 10 second spot... she said "temps around 30 below with windchill throughout the day" now that is rare even for me... at 30 below I start getting nervous about the pipes in the wall and stuff (have had it freeze up insulated pipes in insulated walls with the cupboards left open when it hit -30 before).... That's just too damn cold for humans, leave that to the penguins and seals.

My nephew is in college station for college - he texted and said something to the effect of 5" snow forecast (I didn't see his exact message, sister got it)... are you expecting similar that close?

I went to weather and wunderground and neither of those say -30 (they do say negative single digits with wind chill into the negative teens and -20 max and that is high noon), so my guess is that is just the dumb ass channel not a real accurate forecast... I was busy making dinner so didn't get to watch the weather not that they even do news in a proper format now... 30 seconds of weather, 30 seconds of sport, 10 minute puff piece with 4 minutes of commercials and then repeat similar but not the same - so there is no full weather just gen Z attention span limited crap.

Never put off ‘til tomorrow what you can put off indefinitely
25 in not-so-Hotlanta right now. Supposed to go down to the mid teens with highs around 30 the next couple days.

i’ve realized that Lincoln‘s limit is about 30°. If it’s above that, he trots out the back door, does some important sniffing and barking, comes by me to get a treat for doing his business, and then he goes about the deck and stiffs around there waiting for me..

When it’s below 30, he lets me go out first, he darts into the near side of the backyard, lifts his leg shoots that thing like a lightning bolt, bounces off me for a treat, and he’s waiting at the back door when I climb the four steps.

It’s all relative. If it gets this cold again, I may have to buy a winter coat.

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
We had 8 degrees at 7 am and it's up to 11 now. I was pleased to see that we only got 4-5" of snow, on station was predicting 8-12". 8 degrees is cold enough, one January in the early 80's it never warmed up to zero during the whole month.

It was -20 back home when I looked this morning, their forecast high is -16. It's 58 here and looks like a drizzly week with highs in the 60s.

no, we are just supposed to stay in the 20s tomorrow. Since they are mentioning rain, maybe we will get sleet

It's supposed to be in the negatives at night back home. -9 one night, I believe. The days are in the low double digits.
