That's Celsius. With the windchill, it's at least that even in Fahrenheit.

Course, I bet Cam is getting it even worse.

Yep.. Quite cold

lol, we have that all the time up here! Normal temperature for January-February. Right now (okay, it's 2 in the morning) it's -13C and -25C with windchill.

LoL yes it was lots cooler then that couple of days ago -25F with windchills of -60F, -31.66C and -51C for You guys on the metric system.
But Right now at almost 5am its a reasonably balmy -9F with -40 windchill or -22.7C and -40C, wow strange how that works out to the same -40F or -40C.

When I lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it was not unusual for the kids to be waiting for the school bus with the wind chills at -40F (-40C, ya know that match is kinda freaky). Actual temp would be -10F (-23.33C). The houses were built for the cold with extra insulation and pipes buried a minimum of 18" (457.2 mm) to prevent freezing. In the summer the reverse was true in that highs could be 105F (40.55C). That is the actual air temp and not a heat index. So do the math and see that the temp spread from winter to summer is 100F+/- (37.77C). That is actual temps and not wind chill or heat index. Even with all the heat, cold, wind, snow, and a few tornados, Tulsa was a magical place to live...talker.

it's 23 Celsius here! what're you complainin' about?

[TheBearLT]

The weirdest thing is that long time ago here in Lithuania we had -30-35, but now, the winters is quite warm..

Global warming.. Yep, sooner or later we're going to die.. maybe not all of us, but majority definitely will

Cold here, too... -6F, -21C. Look at the bright side, only about 5 more weeks of winter. The days are getting longer and the sun is up past 5 pm now.

I live about 100 miles from Tulsa. We had thundersnow last night with an inch of sleet and half an inch of ice. Most people don't even think thunder and lightning are possible with a snowstorm, but here they're pretty common.

Out of curiosity, I looked up thundersnow on Wikipedia and found that someone had already added last night's storm to the Known Occurrences section. Gotta love Wikipedia.

[TheBearLT]

Yeah, Wikipedia is GREAT

I hope, "one day" it will not become "evil"

We had a "Thundersnow" last week for the first time I can ever remember in my life.

I was driving on I-75 and the snow was blinding. Then, in the north sky, I saw lightning flashes.

Course, 3 weeks earlier we had 50F degree temps in January and I saw non-resident geese (2 dozen or so) flying North over the highway toward Canada.
