RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted January 2, 2014 Okay so it is 35 below here in the good old Maritime's Canada...The air is thick and the sun is shining...It is so beautiful here with the 60 or so cm of snow but when I took the dogs out my nostrils closed shut.... Now this is the thing...........No insulation anymore and so there fore cannot get warm................... So far this is the only thing that I miss.....my insulation for heat.. I used to laugh at my string bean husband because he bundled up like an Eskimo all winter..and now.......me I look like his twin......... Florida is starting to look good to me, hmmmm..maybe Arizona...........too much!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 caroline2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilbootch 28 Posted January 2, 2014 That's way too cold. We are looking at high temps on Monday and Tuesday of around -15 here in Minnesota. I don't know how as a weatherperson you can go on air and say high and negative in the same sentence. I would wear shorts year round and this year I am also bundled up. Can't remember when I last wore shorts outside. Like everyone else here I have lost my insulation. Brrrrrrr!!!! 1 RJ'S/beginning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet333 386 Posted January 2, 2014 We are expecting quite a big snow storm today here in New York. A little bummed because I am into this C25K app which trains you to run a 5K and today calls for 25 minutes of straight running but can't do that with snow and ice on the ground. As far a being cold all the time, I think of it like this- I think our bodies are burning more calories trying to warm us up. I think I read that somewhere that the body has to burn more calories when you are cold to keep you at around 98 degrees. So thats one good thing about being cold all the time.

gomekast 559 Posted January 2, 2014 Ha! The high temperature for the past week here in Minnesota has been around -3. Monday our high for school drop off is -8. Not thinking I'll be standing outside with my 4 and 7 year Olds for that. I'd rather drive them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouiseC 1,031 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I can't even imagine it being that cold! It only gets down to the low forties (between 5 and 10 Celsius) here in winter but even then I have really felt the winters since I lost the excess insulation!
