We're having a tropical heat wave in the Chicag area where it is 29 F right now, but last week on Monday morning it was -6F with a wind chill of -25F...now that's cold (but not as cold as it can get here sometimes). Right now, no complaints. Jim

it was definately cold in New York the night before last when i was driving down 295 and had to stop because my air dump valve on the 18 wheeler froze open. i lost all my air pressure and had tro squeeze my fat butt under the truck to get it unfrozen. i think it was around 2 degrees with some cold wind blowin.

it's not too bad here in Cheyenne wyoming right now. i wish i could hang around here, but i have to be in the bay area monday morning.

As I write this, 21 above. Lowest on the digital, -13, which was a couple of nights ago. Last night at 11 it was -7. Supposed to warm up (relatively speaking) for a couple of days, then back into the deep freeze again. I can deal with the cold. It's the wind + cold I hate.

- 10 at my place (northern Connecticut) last night. Cold enough that steel things start to shatter when you bang on them. Not fun.

.....Hey, don't wi***hat snow on us here in central Indiana...As I said we've had very little so far this season and really I won't be hurt if we don't get any at all the rest of the winter time. I have seen enough of that stuff growing up in western Pennsylvania years ago. So we really know what it is.

Marty you must be in the frozen northern half of the state[:(].

62 was our LOW over the weekend and it was 80 degrees yesterday in the San Gabriel Valley! [8D][8D][8D]

Thats right 80 ![:D][8D][:D][8D]

Only the last time it was this warm in January was also when we had the Northridge Earthquake[:0][:0][:0]

It was so freakin cold this weekend I had to break out the winter gear.........because it was blocking some stuff in the garage I had to get to. Then I packed it neatly back into rubbermaid containers. Since its winter, I've been wearing my darker khaki shorts. The light ones don't come out until easter. [:-^]

It's about 40 degrees right now in Chicago, a bit on the warm side.

Chicago in winter is still better than Houston in summer.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
