"A Cold Day Game"

Now, I'm pretty sure that I am the coldest person on OT. I'm also the dumbest because I didn't check if anyone had posted the penguin game yet. I'm a big cold idiot.

Use this post to complain about your weather or make fun of me

Just so you know, it was -44.9c with a windchill of -53 yesterday morning here. ONLY -42 this morning! Why anyone would live here is beyond me. This is insane!



Here's the game if you haven't played it yet:

I posted the game on another of my boards only to find it had been posted before. Oh well, they got a big chuckle out of it!

Ouch! Shiver me timbers, that's Sofa King cold!

DH was in Montreal this week then flew into Michigan last night and had to drive in snow flurries for 2-3 hours. Of course, when he called me, I didn't dare complain that it's chilly here in Atlanta LOL.

Here's a *BIG WARM HUG* for you CG!

Perhaps OT could blow some hot air north?

If there's one thing we're good at here at OT, it's blowing hot air.

I swear I will never complain about balmy windchills in the -30's ever again.

Okay, Fahrenheit/Celsius....that involves math which is too much like work.

It is -14F right now here in Minnecolda. Windchills make it feel like -33F. So, it's kinda tropical in comparison right?? No heat in my car, yep. It's so good to be me.

Barrow, AK -26...-14 C
Dayton, OH -16...-6 C
Honolulu, HI 20...26 C
St. Louis, MO -16...-7 C
West Palm Beach, FL 13...21 C

Thought you might like the temp ranges for some different cities. It is frigid in Dayton and I have had enough. I am ready to move. Suggestions?

Ummmm. Why is Hawaii cold?? Who is messing with our universe?

"RE: A Cold Day Game"
Posted by Schnookie Palookie on 01-29-04 at 11:58 AM
20-26C is 68-78F

Pretty nice I'd say. Still probably a bit chilly for Hawaii though.

That's what I'm saying. My reality is that Hawaii is supposed to 80-85F ALL the time. SO I can get through this crap. It is NOT supposed to be below 75 degrees. That is just WRONG for a tropical island I dream about. I have to have my dream or I'll die.

Again. Involves math. Never could figure celsius crap out...

are in-freaking-sane. It's been in the teens here (a heatwave by your standards), and it's all I can do to get out of bed in the morning. Do you all have dead nerve endings to cope with the cold, or what?

Winter. Sucks.

Why don't I live in San Diego?

Today it's supposed to be in the mid-30s. Yippee-friggin-doo.

"RE: You Canadian peeps..."
Posted by Canada Girl on 01-29-04 at 12:01 PM
I KNOW! This is absolute insanity. No one should live like this.

When I checked the weather yesterday morning my son said "Shouldn't they just close down the city?". I said YES! It's freakin ridiculous.

People's cars are just dying in the streets and they have to leave them because it's too cold to wait for a tow truck!

I've had it. I want to move NOW.

Posted by bebekid on 01-29-04 at 12:02 PM
OT, you will never hear me complain about warm or even hot weather. You have my permission to whack me if you do.

I grew up in South Louisiana. Yes, it gets hot there in the Summer. But see, unlike when it is 15 below somewhere up North, when it is 95 degrees out, you can go jump in a pool! Or run through a sprinkler! Or go for a snow cone or ice cream run!

I'm sitting here in sweats, wearing a turtleneck and my super warmest hoodie, feeling shivery. My inside temp says 53! sheesh I'm a lightweight!
I think of you and ęthelstan, and all you poor babies in snow and wonder ... how do you do it?


brrrr. warm hugs, CG!

Brrrrr. That's just way too cold. I whine when it gets in the 30's here.

Today it's sunny, but we had some massive fog all last week. We're supposed to get to the high 50's today, so I can't complain (but I still will.LOL).

Keep warm, CG. Hope you have about 5 electric blankies.

Ok, I can't complain about it being -10 below here yesterday anymore. I tried the game, but the computer I'm on took too long to load, so I'll have to play another time.

*cuddles* for CG!

We're at a -21 windchill, but it feels mild compared to what we've had the last couple of weeks. I guess now that we finally have sun it just *feels* warmer.

I'm anemic, so you can usually subtract about 5 degrees from the temperature. So really, we're at -21 with windchill, or -26 with friskychill.

I will never again complain about 47 degrees and rain, rain, rain here on the west coast of Canada. You poor thing, we do feel for ya'll out there in the deep freeze. Parts of BC are in the freezer too, but here on the island it's slightly warmer.

That being said... I still have southern blood and I'm COLD!!! I still can't tell celcius temp so I keep the F. therms handy so I can see what the "real" temprature is!

The big news on The National last night is that Key Lake was the coldest spot in the world yesterday. Big news for Saskatchewan.

I worked in Key Lake for a little over a month, years ago. It was cold at that time too, and windy. One of the masons left his truck window open about 10 mm and the whole inside of the cab was completely filled with hard packed snow the next morning. The truck was sitting in the right direction to the wind I suppose. A labourer spent the whole day with a scrapper, a hammer and a bolster to remove the snow from the cab. I have pictures somewhere, I must find them.

I bet that river is steaming by the Bess!

so, if I may ask...
how do you golf? or does golfing skip winter altogether?

Methinks Ashlet and I need to open an OT Winter Sanctuary or something...a kinder, gentler Paradice Motel, if you will.

If you don't mind a sleeping bag on the couch, fly on down -- we act all upset if it drizzles a little and have not seen snow or ice for many many years...

it FINALLY warmed up here after a week of -35 + windchill weather.

now, it's a balmy -15 (-25 windchill) and blizzarding. Not bad.


The day Dominou was born? -50 with wind.

I almost feel warm compared to you.

I haven't even wanted to look since I got up. But at 7 a.m. it was -8 (F) with -24 windchill.

I live in an old crappy house, with drafts and a big crack in the foundation (going to look for my OWN house today)

and I don't want to see my heat bill.


Weeeeeeeeee that was fun. I got a 300 (once LOL)
