It's COLD

[sid]

I had my thermostat set at 67F/19C yesterday evening, and left it there overnight. At 6:30 this morning, the temperature in the house had dropped to 64/18. I guess when it's -6/-21 outside, with windchills greater than -20/-29 and no sunlight, a hundred-year-old furnace just can't keep up!

Big warm up today, thank goodness, she said sarcastically. Going on 1 pm, it's 14/-10, with windchill making it feel like -3/-19.

I see no reason to leave the house. I'm kinda attached to my fingers.

And now I'm kinda grateful for our 32F days! Stay warm!!

I'll do my best! I think tomorrow is going to be somewhat better. :-)

Yesterday morning when I left for work (just after 7:00 a.m.), it was -22 outside. Cold, cold, cold! It was above zero today and it felt like a heatwave. I thought about getting out my shorts.

I hope Jack and Daniel are keeping each other warm. :P

[sid]

Makes you wonder what it's gonna be like when winter actually gets here, doesn't it?

Jack and Daniel are sharing and conserving body heat like crazy, lol.

[gategremlyn]

It doesn't even bare thinking about. We're not supposed to get this kind of crap until January! I'm running out of long underwear.

But it's a good excuse to stay in and read hot J/D fics... right after I take the dog for a walk. At least it's above zero again. Not by much, but I'll take anything.

Stay warm!

Sweet talk me some more why don't ya! Absolutely melting here in 39C/102F...

[sid]

If only we could split the difference. *shivers and rubs hands together*

I certainly do not envy you! I can always throw on another layer of clothing.

[jdjunkie]

There is only one thing for it ... we must snuggle under the Fandom Duvet of Lurve!

[sid]

Sounds like a plan! :-)

[untonuggan]

*sends warming thoughts and tea and blankets*

[sid]

Thank you! I will need all of those when I get back from grocery shopping.

[antares_dw]

Huh, that's even colder than here!

Read hot J/D stories and stay warm. *lol*

[sid]

That plus soup! LOL

It's a little warmer today. So I need to get out and do stuff before the snow starts flying in ~5 hours!

[esteven]

*sends tea, sympathy, blankets and extra fires*

[sid]

Thank you, dear! We have had a warmup, so it's still below freezing, but back above zero. I went out and grocery shopped, because of course we have possibly 8 inches of snow coming now.

[esteven]

Is it any warmer now?

When you went shopping you did not need bags to keep your frozen stuff...

Snow would be nice here, but not 8 inches and not before December 24th...

[sid]

14 degrees today, but it feels like 3. We hardly got any snow after all. *whew* Lake effect snow is completely unpredictable. A few miles from here, closer to the lake, there could have been a few more inches, but I lucked out. That reminds me that I need to shovel my front walk yet. A neighbor did the public sidewalk, so I just have to do the bit up to my porch. I will need a hat...

[esteven]

Ah, so the wind is biting. I am sorry to hear that. How very kind of your neighbour.

Should you like my hat? ;)

[sid]

I didn't need the hat! A different neighbor did my front walk and porch. :-)

[esteven]

Will you have a hot mug of something for your neighbours then? As a thankee?

[sid]

I should offer them some of the Spicy Peanut Butter soup I just made! Except that would mean less for me, so I think I won't, lol.
