I can confirm that it's FUCKING COLD. I was on the train for an extra two hours today first the train in front of us hit a semi then one of the main switches broke. It ended up being a 4 hour commute to work :C Fucking cold.
[QUOTE=Banned?;43439152]Not sure if you know this or not, but Chicago is nicknamed "the windy city". :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah I read up on it before I posted, you might want to think of a new name with your weather now though. :v:
Before these threads I didn't even realize how warm America actually is during the winter. I always thought that like -15C is normal in the winter round there.
Fahrenheit, -15f is like -26c
[QUOTE=Jaehead;43439398]Fahrenheit, -15f is like -26c[/QUOTE] ok fahrenheit is really confusing but I can see now
I'm not in Chicago, but I am in Central Illinois, and let me say that it got to almost -50 after windchill last night. Shit fucking sucked.
there's already been 2 accidents on my road it's like some people go batshit insane in these temps and try to drive at 70mph in a secluded neighborhood
While not from Illinois, I can say that it's also really fucking cold up here in Wisconsin too.
I spent the last hour out shoveling my driveway and two neighbor's walkways. I didn't think it was too bad.
[QUOTE=frozensoda;43439129]it's -15 outside right now, I'm not going anywhere today. Seems like the whole state is shut down right now.[/QUOTE] Oh shit, I'm going to have to spend three hours out in it tonight. So not everything's shut don't. R.I.P. my frozen testicles.
it's so cold out that the heat from my house causes the air to refract and distort when i open the door
Just outside of chicago here, if you breathe in outside you start coughing all over. Also this happens, (not me) [url]https://t.co/PnCNsXQi7t[/url].
I went outside to get my mail about 20 minutes ago, all of our snow is frozen solid and I can stand on it
Meanwhile in Austraila: [IMG]http://bushfirefront.com.au/1a/pic/2010/03/vic23.jpg[/IMG] Can your annoyingly cold weather have a temperate weather baby with our annoyingly hot weather? [editline]7th January 2014[/editline] Seriously, I went out for 10 minutes to check when I had a haircut, I came back covered in sweat.
It's going to be -24 and I have to go to classes in the morning. I'm currently writing my will.
Meanwhile in Australia the sun is trying to rape us in the ass with its fiery hot dick made of molten magma
[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;43439106]We have lots of wind in the UK. chicago if you want to swap, I would gladly take snow over my shed blowing over.[/QUOTE] You what mate? Shits blowing harder than a damn hurricane.
[QUOTE=Appellation;43440001]Oh shit, I'm going to have to spend three hours out in it tonight. So not everything's shut don't. R.I.P. my frozen testicles.[/QUOTE] Well that was remarkably unpleasant. At times it was difficult to see past the steam coming off of my face, not my breath mind you [editline]6th January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=QuinnithXD;43444101]Just outside of chicago here, if you breathe in outside you start coughing all over.

So, not to sound like an asshole. But I wonder how many dead hobos you guys got right now.
It's -10°F here in Michigan right now where I am. With the wind chill, says it feels more like -34°F according to Accuweather, and I can say that I've never felt -34°F before, but if it would be anything, it would be this. This is honestly the coldest I can remember in my entire life.
I'm ready for summer now ;-;
meanwhile florida refuses to negotiate with terrorists and will continue being 50-80f (10-27c) all next week. why can't florida just fit in with the rest of the states during winter
Breathing in the cold is refreshing, what are you on about.
[QUOTE=Jetblack357;43445365]So, not to sound like an asshole. But I wonder how many dead hobos you guys got right now.[/QUOTE] Probably not many. NY and Chicago have really good programs that basically go out and collect all the homeless people anytime the cold hits like this.
They opened up shelters, I assume. Atlanta is doing the same.
[QUOTE=JoonazL;43445567]Breathing in the cold is refreshing, what are you on about.[/QUOTE] Breathing in 30mph gusts that make the air -42c. So refreshing.
[QUOTE=JoonazL;43445567]Breathing in the cold is refreshing, what are you on about.[/QUOTE] Not when you breath in and all the moisture in your throat freezes because of it.
[QUOTE=Wii60;43445547]meanwhile florida refuses to negotiate with terrorists and will continue being 50-80f (10-27c) all next week. why can't florida just fit in with the rest of the states during winter[/QUOTE] As much as I'd like it to snow down here, I can't say that I'd like the entire state to freeze. I mean, there IS a reason why there are so many farmers here. If the crops freeze and die, prices will go up SUPER high and make everything worse.
-15F here in ohio too Only difference is instead of getting an assload of snow, our cold air came to the party late and decided to freeze all the rain. So the roads are pure ice with a small inch high dusting of snow on top :v: I had errands to run north of town today but had to cancel them in light of the fact that I didn't feel like turning a 30 minute drive into a 60 minute one by having to go 20 under and still sliding everywhere. Saw plenty of accidents too when I tried.
Europe will probably get the biggest insect invasion ever this summer. It's much much much too warm for this time, some trees already begun blooming here, ther frost that will come on February will probably kill them.
