Freezing cold in the US

Post by Genebaby »

Which board members are experiencing the big chill I was reading about?

Where are you and how cold is it?

Is it getting worse each year, as I remember the past few years it has been pretty bad and I've noticed is.

So much so that I label this picture: Meanwhile.......in America......

Having been in the US during November and chasing the warmer weather to California along the way, I can't believe how bad it gets.

It was cool in California in November, at least in the evenings, a hoodie or jumper would have been nice at Disneyland and the theme parks but I kept forgetting.

Do you guys that live in the cold zones look at the calender and groan as these months come up?

Have you considered moving?

Now, living in Canberra, Aus, it does get cold here, but we don't get snow here, it's not high enough, but we do get some bitter cold at winter. Which is hard to remember right now in summer, but it will happen. I do like that we get all four season here, you can really enjoy each "time of year".

Pure cold I can handle, but I"m not sure what I'd do about snow and the weather that comes with it. I know they get this in the UK and other parts of the world but the only snow we have in Australia is in the mountains where the ski resorts are, so you have to travel if you want to see snow, save the occasional freak fall we get now and then.

It was 6 degrees the other night then warmed up to 30 and we had freezing rain then snow. Its not getting worse it just goes through cycles. it will be 90 and 80% humidity in no time. I was in North Dakota one time 15 below zero wind chill 35 below that was freaking cold . The north east coast is getting hammered with snow though lots of roofs collapsing. The TV makes it all out to be worse than it is, we adapt quick.

Oooh, 90 and 80% humidity doesn't sound much fun either! We don't get too much humidity here either, save the occasional sun shower, and then I'm all annoyed at the "tropical" weather we are experiencing, ha ha.

The north east coast does seem bad. Both our coasts here have pretty relaxed weather. Sydney is way warmer than Canberra. In winter in Sydney I can have a t-shirt on with the car window down. Not so in Canberra, ha ha.

I think California is the place for me, who's sponsoring and paying for us all to move over? :wink:

Got down to single digits last week in NC... too friggin cold for me. It snowed but it just turned to ice. Had to let all the dogs sleep inside... which gets chaotic. :)

I love spring and fall... summer can get too hot and winter too cold but I do like experiencing all four seasons.

I am too busy masturbating in my warm house to notice the weather.

18F? Whoa, that's colder than Canberra, plus you have snow etc right?

Are you pretty used to it?

Do you want to move somewhere warmer?

I don't like it too warm, so the warmer climates in Australia are nice in winter (mostly) and then way too hot in the summer, so moving is not a big consideration, I just put up with some cold nights and days and the rest is quite ok.
