 I just arrived in MN, i can confirm that its cold!!

though it was -18 when i left VT this morning

 

[kevo_55]

-18 in your little house in the woods? I should stop my complaining.

Enjoy MSP. If you have time, go to Stillwater, MN. They have an ice palace there that just opened up over the weekend.

They usually do a 2 hour delay for the schools around here if its in the 20's.  Hell, most of the buses don't even have block heaters, and tomorrow they'll all have dead batteries since they've been sitting for two weeks.

20s, really?  Schools around here don't go back until the 8th so I don't know if they'd be cancelling for the below zero temps.  I remember having to go to school when it was -5, but with the wussification of America they're probably cancelling for that these days.

Oh and I had to walk to school in knee-deep snow uphill both ways.   ld-025:

Yep.  Most kids around here don't even own winter coats.  It's nuts.

 

[envirotex]

Up to 33 here!  Yay!

My kid has gone to school when it's been minus 20F. Our calendar doesn't include snow days, so kids go to school. Cold? Snowy? Blizzard? Get your *** to school.

Snow day here. East coast snow storm of the decade. We don’t deal with snow very well. 

 

[Road Guy]

I think the coldest our schools have been open is -10, but it doesn't generally get that cold here all that often to be honest... its weird with the snow, they have closed school some days for 6 inches and other times left it open with 10+ inches..

saw some snow pics  in Savannah, GA yesterday- very odd, wish they would send that **** our way!

 

[MA_PE]

Boston area is pretty much shutdown for a full day snowstorm with whiteout conditions.  Snow started ~7:30-8 and is expected to continue through ~7PM.  Estimating about a foot.  Got to clean it up fast because it's being followed by frigid temperatures tomorrow an Saturday.  Early next week we're supposed to see upper 30's in temps.  Crazy.

 

[leggo PE]

It's a wet one out there!

 

[MA_PE]

well we survived one of the longest cold spells in history here in the Boston area.  temperatures are on the rise and saying it might be in the 50s on Thursday.  That will be a welcome change.

62F when I got off the plane in NOLA yesterday.  Rained last night, but stopped this morning.  Felt good to walk to the oyster bar in a t shirt!
