Having been raised an Army brat, I've lived in my share of cold environments, high school in Anchorage. I've been here in LA (Lower Alabama) my adult life and my blood is literally thinner, and less cold tolerant. We're experiencing our 1st hard freeze in years. Pretty sure I've got all the bases covered. My rottweilers are enjoying some inside time, I know the breed originated in Europe but mine were born and raised here, so they're not used to this either. If it's going to be this cold, I wish it it would snow, it's been about 15 years since we've had any. Which is always funny to see the sad little snowmen.

Just got back from a conference call/walk it's 64 and it doesn't suck
"hard freeze". So like 15 degrees for an hour or two. LOL.
Here ya go.... -3 right now.
30 below wind chill. My gloves froze to my door knob after feeding animals.... moustache icicles, etc
My pyrenees came inside for about 2 minutes, then was ready to go back out.

No, I know what it means. Freezing temps for a few days, what it takes to wreck water pipes.
In Anchorage 30°s was T-shirt weather, 50°s was swimming weather! In contrast, I'd LMAO at folks bundled up at 50°, I always wore shorts the few years I was down there.
I will say 20 degrees in south Alabama is like negative 10 in CO. That wet cold is NASTY especially you get that north wind kickin. Some of the coldest Ive been is late Jan rut hunting down there. Hoping this moves out so when Im down there end of next month its 50.
I got a call today from a customer complaining that it's 68 in the house. I asked if they remembered back in the summer when 70 degrees in the house was too hot. Yes they did remember. So I asked them what the problem was. Then I told them to go outside for 30 minutes and 68 will feel good
It's 7 degrees with a -10 wind chill.

Back in '19 I was in Anchorage on our epic Alaska roadtrip. It was in the mid 70's, and I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt still, and all the locals were just bitchin' and moaning about how hot it was. I thought it was funny.
I miss Alaska, wish I could sort out a way to live there.

Woke up this morning and it was -7 with a -26 wind chill. The heat pump in the shop stopped working the day before yesterday because it was just too cold, so all I had was the pellet stove on setting 4 (of 5, but only suppose to do 5 for short periods). Shop was 40 degrees, I wonder how much damage my cerakote took from being so cold.
Luckily it warmed up just enough today 6 degrees (and feels kinda ok now) to allow the heat pump to start working again, and my shop is 66 degrees now, so this princess can get some work done.

Having lived in NW MN my entire life…this thread is comical! 
Except for frozen pipes…that’s not funny.

Well it was -11 yesterday am , & I got a coyote. A Balmy 1 degree this am... saw and missed two more out a ways. I don't mind the cold if its not windy, but the 2012 Tundra had to sit overnight in the garage with the wood stove as the 4wd actuator switch quit working, due to Ice I am guessing. ( It doesn't do worth a shit on compact snow and ice in 2WD even with studded traction tires. )
Now we are gonna warm up and may get some freezing rain in a day or two. Yippee. Global warming my ass.

I totally get it being as I am on blood thinners a midsummer breeze sends shivers up my spine let alone a 30 mph gust of wind in 10 degree weather the easiest answer is dress warmer layers are your friends thermal pants and shirts are god like gortex or what ever is used to day like gortex body suit might also help
freezing all over the country and my wife says to me: "I feel like having sushi for dinner."
Guess who is the idiot that now has to venture outside in these conditions, risk freezing my balls off, to pick it up...

BOMB CYCLONE!!!!
Gotta love the fear tactics of the commies.
15 years ago it was a winter storm. Now they dig up some think tank bullshit to promote their agenda

My replacement 4wd actuator for my ram is sitting on the pellet stove waiting for a little bit warmer weather for me to put it in. The first one that I got was the wrong one, so i missed my chance to get it in while it was 33 degrees.

After 20 years in TX, the subzero temp and -35 windchill was rather brisk while snowblowing (I grew up in "Canada Lite"). I did coach soccer games in shorts when it was 50.
But I have my fuzzy trapper hat and a ski mask, so all is well (That wind was killer--freezing the tear ducts--I needed shades for wind protection!). Need better gloves, 30 mins at -35 Wind Chill did a number on my fingers. I'm probably the only guy who can work up a sweat and get frostbite at the same time.
This wind is like living in Nebraska, on the way to town, my truck decides due to a stiff gust: LANE CHANGE. That got me awake.
Brandy. More Brandy!

All perspective. Yeah teens and single digits are cold for my area. I bet our triple digits and 90% humidity in July/August/September would have you big cold talkers whining. We will be fishing and dove hunting, working on our melanomas
Every time someone from a warm climate posts about unseasonably cold weather, all the hard ass northerners jump in with how cold it is where they are.
I can’t wait for the “Just another day of 100 degree heat and 80% humidity, ya fuckin’ pussies” thread.

Lived in Fl and Ar (that's Arkansas, not Alaska or Arizona).
The humidity was absolutely worse in Arkansas due to all the thick ass forests "transpiring" moisture.
When it's 90+ and a clear, cloudless, day and all of a sudden the asphalt in the streets becomes wet due to 100+% humidity you had best run inside for the nearest A/C duct.
Other than that, I liked the weather there.....and yea, it gets wicked cold too.
Like I've heard a Texan say "ain't much tween here and the north pole 'sceptin a barb wire fence, and it's probably down right now".
I'd much rather it was 10* and snowing than 33* and raining......
Just got power back after 14 hours. Linemen here in town are hard core… dozens of trees down today. Dozens of poles and wires out.
They busted their asses in Monsoons and 30 mph winds.
If I hear one flatlander complain about being without power at their Airbnb or some bs,,, I’ll dope slap them!
Here is to you linemen and power guys… who no one thanks enough!

Is it like Arizona, a dry cold .
I was driving to work, in an uninsulated house.
I was happy to see 1* today.
America braces for its coldest Christmas Eve EVER!
Americans were readying on Friday for a record-breaking Christmas weekend, with temperatures the coldest ever recorded and blizzards making travel in some areas impossible.
Looks like long pig for New Year's

Dream girl was holding out for some sailor? LoL
Probably just like the rest of us. Over played on every station. Came on the radio and click to another station and there it is also.
Gonna be down by the water at 11:00 today. I bet it won't feel like 42°
Heat wave here yesterday, it got up 12F. We went by old town in Burlington CO, yesterday. They asked for us to give them 15 minutes as they hadn't unlocked any buildings or moved snow due to the weather. And here I show up in a long sleeve t-shirt. {I.E my winter wear.} 
3 degrees is dangerous to go outside. 
Oh, the over sensationalist faggotry.
Reminds of last year, having school canceled for incoming wind. I think they might have taken a lot shit for that one, it hasnt happened again, and we have high winds like 100 days per year.

We got lucky. It was very dry so there were hardly any skeeters on our whole trip, even up the dempster to Tuk, no skeeters because it was cold and windy, mid June and 32 degrees. The only place we saw the quantity of skeeters I expected to see most of the time, was when we went up to see Salmon Glacier in Hyder. That was some serious skeeter infestation.
