How's Everyone Doing With The Cold Weather?
Lounge By Zmama Updated 13 Feb 2007 , 8:44am by kaychristensen
ARRGH! It was -20 degrees yesterday here. Hope everyone is doing okay!
First, the hot water pipes froze. Got them working, then the cold water going into the toilet froze. Still can't get that working, so we get to fill the tank every time to flush. Finally today it reached positive degrees, so we're hoping the toilet will work again soon! Oh, and we rent, so it's not something we thought was our problem 
but the landlord has no clue what to do. Pipes are in the cement under the kitchen, and no way to get to them.
Gotta love cold weather 
The villagers will come after me with torches when they read this, but it has been 73 degrees and sunshine the past two days here. Don't be too envious though, we have a rainstorm coming in tomorrow and through the weekend. Mother Nature is just giving us a hint of Spring and then reminding us that it is really still winter.
No torches Shirley 
, I like winter as long as the heat's working! Our furnace air intake has been cloggong up with snow and we have to go out there with the shop-vac once or twice a day to keep it clear, but it could be worse!
When we were watching the Super Bowl game, the players were getting wet, but it was what 80 degrees....
I'll take 80 and wet, over cold, windy and -30!
It's been snowing all day. Had to hurry and muck out the stalls from the last week (nothing like frozen horse poop) before the snow got too deep.
It's days like this that make me wish my DH was already retired and we were on the Cumberland Plateau 
Well Its summer here and its so hot! Its going to be something like 40 degrees C. hehe Cant wait to winter tho... But it doesnt get that cold here..
Well the kids had no school yesterday on 2/5/07 "due to extreme temperatures". My son had a long weekend due to the fact that he was sick last Thursday and Friday...so now it's taking him longer to do work in school because he has to get back into the swing of doing things. He had school today though even though he was stuck inside during recess because it was too cold to go out and play. Luckily for us nothing froze up and both of our cars started.

Mouse,
Did you watch "Everybody Hates Chris" last night? They closed his school because of a snow storm, but it wasn't until after he had left home. He and the ptincipal were the only ones there and Chris still had to have lessons.
It's been about 0-10 degrees here over the weekend. All the schools are closed around here too. Except mine , of course (rolling eyes lol). Hope you fellow Yankees all stay warm!

it was -25 yesterday with the windchill ( got to love the windy city) and about the same today I work for a chicago public school.. and we were open lol The only person who can close Chicago Public Schools is our CEO 
and he said he would never do it because of temperatures only snow.
Brandi * Waiting very impatiantly for spring lol *
I will just say, if we have to endure 20 degree days, we should at least get a few pretty snowflakes to look at!!!
Be careful what you hope for! Kids were out of school here due to the cold Monday, then today we got about 3 inches of snow. 
At least it's above zero! Exactl 1 degree right now 
No kidding, Zmama...ask and you shall recieve...IT'S SNOWING!!! They're saying less than an inch and it's supposed to be 44 degrees tomorrow. Our snow never sticks around for long.
Hey, I'm a southern girl. As far as I'm concerned, 20 degree weather should be against the law.
Our average lately for the highs has been around 20. That doesn't count wind chills. Today got up to 56 degrees. YAY!! Yesterday was 20 something and tomorrow will be back down to the 20's. It sucks! 
I loved today. We have had horribly cold weather for the past few weeks. It snowed here a while back and it's been so cold it's not melting. Some of it melted today but not much. It's supposed to be cold for at least another week. The only good thing about this cold of weather is it kills off all of the bugs. Maybe the mosquitos won't be so bad this summer. Oh well hopefully spring will come soon.
Ya Sweetness want it great today. We got to I think like 48 today. We also went throught the cold snap over the weekend with the sub 0 and wind chills. I think the one night was like 20 below with the wind chill. And the weather just kills me. Because I am fighting this Bronchially junk. And when it is that cold out I can't breathe So today I thought ok it is pretty nice I will try to go chip away at the ICE that has been here since the 1St of the year. But had to stop cause I started weazing. And it wasn't that could but the pounding on the ground and breathing the chilled damp air got me AND tomorrow we dip back down again with possible snow flurries for the next week.
I WANT SPRING NOW 
kaychristensen be sure to stay in as much as possible. Brochitis (sp?) is horrible. I hope you get to feeling better, and be sure to stay warm. Hopefully this weather will get better soon. I don't know how much more I can take.
sweetness unfortuantly I have been battling this junk since Sept. 3 rounds of antibiotics 3 inhalers. And I have to go back for some more tests this week. And it is going to get cold again So I do stay in as much as possible and if I do go out I cover my mouth and nose. So thank you for the well wishes.
I'd kill for 20 above weather right now, we aren't going to see about 0 until Friday or Saturday according to the weather reports and then it's still going to be -17 or so for a low.
My inlaws had to call my husband Saturday because they weren't bright enough to plug a vehicle in the night before and could't get anything started. It kind of pissed me off because my FIL grew up here and they've both lived here for over 30 years so they should know better instead of making my husband go freeze his butt off.

Mouse,
Did you watch "Everybody Hates Chris" last night? They closed his school because of a snow storm, but it wasn't until after he had left home. He and the ptincipal were the only ones there and Chris still had to have lessons.
LOL- no I didn't! I was busy helping my son get his homework done. That show is awesome, I usually get a good laugh when I watch that show.
mbelgard - plug a vehicle in?? What's that about? Never heard of it! But, we start both vehicles every day just to make sure everything stays working.
There's a cord hanging out of the front of my vehicle, I plug it into an extension cord if I know I'm going to need it when it's really cold an then I know I can start it.
we've been getting the bitter cold here too. Not much snow at all, but last night our heat went out and with it our hot water, let me tell you it was very nippy getting dressed this morning, but at least the kids didn't have any problem with going to school today. They don't close schools here for the cold, sometimes they will be late if they don't plug the buses in they will have a hard time getting them started. They will only close if its cold if they have a heating problem in one of the schools. Otherwise its snow days, and at the rate they are going there aren't going to be any of those this year. Usually we are sweating out whether they have enough to get through the season.

You know Peg I am going through that right now. It's not going so well. I did a total overhaul of my DD's room and it's taken me 3 days to make a dent in it. UGHHH!!!
As for the weather...we're still having the same cold weather. It's not going to get warmer any time soon. Maybe one of these days we'll get above freezing.
Still COLD here and we are suppose to get about an inch tonight. And about 3 to 4 over the weekend. And we didn't get rid of all that we had before At least they other day when it was warm I did bust up the ice chunck I kept slipping on Keep warm You all
School was late every day this week, they called last night to let parents know. The rest of the schools around us are opening at normal time but I think ours did this because they have so many on buses, there are about 1600 kids and the majority ride the bus.
I was complaining about an inch of snow and cold. I feel bad now after I saw the news and saw what New York got 7 foot WOW. I won't complain for awhile now. I will be thankful. I hope evryone in the affected area is home safe and sound. And I hope you are staying WARM
