Winter Weather 2014

[contrifan32]

52 yesterday with rain most of the day, 7 this afternoon with wind gusts to about 30MPH so it can feel about -7. I hate roller coasters too.

I couldn't handle it. I need the sun. I'm used to warm weather. -1 and my body automatically curls up into a ball and goes to sleep.

oh we have tons of sun, it can be -35F and burn you no problem. You need warmth for cloud cover and humidity.

Something has changed this year. Siberia comes to Boston and visits. The weatherman calls it a "Cold Snap."
(No, a cold snap is when it is at the freezing point for a short while. A cold snap happens in the fall, and suddenly summer is over.)

Then, again, it was really enjoyable to wait for the T while it was 12F. Of course, it took the longest time to get to the stop,
because everyone was freezing their earlobes off. /end sarcasm

It really pissed me off, to see a little old 80 year old woman waiting in 12F weather for the bus that never showed up.
I was waiting with her. It was much more important for the MBTA to direct every available bus to Harvard Square.
It would not do to let anyone associated with Harvard to get chilled. A dead old middle class lady would be OK, though.

What kind of winter weather are you having ?

Your Lit ID says it all. Well, almost. It's so cold here I never thought I would actually look forward to "slush," but it will feel positively balmy when it finally arrives.

Gotcha. I presume snowshoes were required.

How is it possible, to have an ice storm in Texas ?

 

[Laurel]

I hope Pookie is nice and warm.

 

[Icey*Fire]

Good heavens...an inch or two of snow here in east Texas and people can't handle it? ? The Dr is not in today...? BS! I say.

Yankees. Sheesh.

[gotsnowgotslush]

I suppose that a storm that is one thousand miles plus one hundred miles long, deserves a name.
Boston plus surrounding towns
Midnight start for snow and sleet
Heavy snow 6AM to 1PM
continued snow
hovering at the freezing mark

Ladies and gentlemen, start your snow blowers- Do not get your fingers/hands cut off, please.

 

[chillywilly2]

The storm is bypassing us again..-17C this morning and expecting -13 later...positively balmy

What kind of winter weather are you having ?

Snow cold etc.

Hey I live in New England, you are suppose to have it.

But there is a major wimp factor in people's reaction

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I've been chipping ice all morning...



This time of year we're usually beginning garden prep for lettuce, cabbage and peas.

I hope Pookie is nice and warm.

In hell...

Sounds like East Texas, all right.

Me? Shoveled 7 inches of ice and snow off two driveways and drove my wife to work before 11 AM. All in a day's work...
