Nancy, it isn't that cold here but it's pretty darn chilly! Our high is supposed to be 16 * :smile: .
I'm sitting in my office with my Cuddle Duds on underneath my sweater, plus another sweater on top (3 layers) and I'm still freezing. Of course now I wish I'd left the water running in my faucets when I left the house- we had a pipe burst from the cold many years ago and I've never forgotten what a mess that was.

It was 6 here today, supposed to be a high of 17 at noonish. Schools closed last week due to the cold. Funny, I don't remember school EVER closing due to excessive cold...it was winter, what did we expect? Massive snow, yes. Cold, no.
What are cuddle duds - are they the silk thermal undies?

It's -16° BEFORE windchill here and they didn't close schools!!! I can't believe my husband moved me to this frozen tundra. I think Alaska is warmer today!!!!

I don't remember them ever closing schools for us in the cold either. I'm still sitting here in my soft furry robe and don't want to get dressed. Have to get moving though, taking husband to the airport for a week in Phoenix....at least he's smart.
Poor little fuzzbutt won't even go outside. I ask if she has to go out and she runs the other way.

the town north of me recorded minus 18 before windchill factor- they are 10 miles away from me, so I assume it is that cold here, too.
Many schools around me are closed, many becuz of burst water pipes or no heat in the buildings, some have school but no busses. Ours have school today but, our bus did not come and my car battery is dead as a doornail. I tried for an hour to call easy child in but the attendance line was busy the whole time, and then the voicemail for it could not take more calls. :-( Called the main office and they were refusing to accept call ins by phone, so it will be interesting to see what they end up doing? I heard tomorrow we are supposed to still be this cold BUT also get up to 6 inches of new snow! Then it is supposed to get a lil warmer till next weekend. BBBBbrrrrrr. Everything in my garage fridge froze rock solid. :-( including my coffee cream.

LOL my dog wanted so bad to ride to pick easy child up from work last nite, and even tho I warmed the car, he was shivering, but then he also hated the heat blwoing out of the vents.....he tried to climb out the window....and he was barking at me. when we got home the rest of the ntite he kept looking at me like I was crazy.
We don't have school here today-last time we closed for cold was in '94 when it was 28 below without windchill. I posted on the good morning thread I was shocked we closed because our policy is no closing unless windchill hits 50 below with wind chill and its only 31 below with wind chill! Whatever the reason I'll take the day off. I have homemade chicken vegetable soup in the crockpot (I made it on Sat. so it could cook today in the crockpot). I went back to sleep from 8:00-9:30. Not going to do a whole lot today! *
Suz ~ Weren't you supposed to go to Hawaii on a business trip soon? Sounds like this would be a good time to go!
Don't forget that I am available to go with you on a consulting basis although I guess I shouldn't complain ~ our high today is a balmy 43 degrees.

Kathy, the Hawaii trip isn't until April, unfortunately. There is talk that my boss might need to go :tears: to soothe ruffled feathers (the ruffling has nothing to do with me, thank goodness). No one is happy about it. I could use a *consultant* to work this out, though :cool: .
The good news about not going is that I tried on bathing suits the other day. No one should try on bathing suits in January/February. No one. :tongue:

Can you believe it was -39 here with windchill and schools were open? easy child's father picked her up to drive her even though he lives on the other side of the city and i live 3 blocks from the school. difficult child's secretary (different school) was rude when I explained he wasn't coming in. He has to walk about 15-20 minutes each way and I don't have a car to drive him to and from. I couldn't believe she wasn't understanding that no way was he walking in about 40 below temps!!
BRR!!!!!!!!!! Stay warm everyone!
