cold
Funny, I stood out at an auction yesterday as well. However our temperature was in the teens, with wind chills somewhere just below zero. After hearing your situation, I am thankful for the weather I hadLavoy wrote:Yes, and the sweatshirt, and the Carhartts, and the bomber hat, etc. Stood out all day yesterday at an auction with a 30 below windchill.

I was reading the news and I just had to post this here.

Inhospitable, barren, and covered in snow and ice year round, the North and South Pole epitomize frigid conditions. Yet it's currently colder across the United States than at both poles.
The South Pole is the coldest place on Earth -- just take a look at the most recent images from the webcam at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, which captures a new picture of those freezing conditions every 15 minutes. But at present, it's merely -12 Fahrenheit.
The North Pole is normally significantly warmer than the South, but it's a chilly -17 up there right now, a temperature that must sound positively Caribbean to anyone living in, say, Bismark, North Dakota (-33 Fahrenheit at present).
Wind chills across the United States are bringing our sub-freezing temperatures as low as 50 degrees below zero, making large swaths of the country substantially colder than either pole.
It's colder from Dallas to Denver than it is at the South pole. North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa are recording temps ranging from 5 down to -18; With the wind chill, it feels -17 F in Topeka, Kansas. Even Memphis sits at 10 degrees, and around 0 with the wind chill. Temps at Sun Studios shouldn't feel like the South Pole.
The National Weather Service continually monitors weather conditions at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, where it's currently -7 Fahrenheit. The mean temperature last year at Antarctica's South Pole was -54 Fahrenheit. The highest temperature ever recorded at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station was 7.5 F on Dec. 27, 1978, while the lowest was −117 F on Jun. 23, 1982. Brrr!
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration operates a North Pole webcam, deployed on an ice floe at the Pole. NOAA shuts down the cam over the winter due to the winter darkness, which lasts from October to March. In the dark of winter today, it's currently -17.
Brace yourself for a cold and blustery winter here at home ... or maybe pay a visit to balmy Antarctica.

I know the rest of the country is suffering from global warming, but it's been too warm here in the Northeast. I like it when everything stays frozen and peaceful. As of today upstate New York is one gigantic mud puddle and everything that was not bolted down is in the neighbor's yard. I'm supposed to be taking the engine out of my truck for a new oil pan, but the shed I'm trying to work in is going to blow to Kansas and I got soaked being outside at the wrong time so I gave up on that. Pretty pissed off because of that, needed to do that job a week ago.
I didn't mind a good cold spell here, because our previous warm winters were helping some of the southern invasive species expand their range north, for instance armadillos. Maybe this cold spell will help push them back a little.

Lets see was freezing last week past couple days have been nice except for the rain on the somewhat frozen ground that turned to mud. 50 degrees today ICE/SNOW storm starting tomorrow they say up to an inch of ice and 10 inches of snow if every thing goes perfect. For once I do not want perfection. Let me clarify I live in eastern OK spitting distance from I40 And the AR line These people people down here have no idea what to do in 1-2" if snow,.Ice creates a disaster zone still trying to recover from last year. Never mind every ice storm makes our electric bill go higher for storm recovery fees. I was born and raised in NJ used to snow but down here its no fun
