You know its cold when....
polycounter lvl 6
You have ice forming on the inside of your windows and your heat pump is set on 78°! :poly122:
Having moved to the mid west from the deep south, this shit is completely new to my wife and I! How is everyone else managing through this cold snap?

Lol true enough. You guys are way more acclimated to this stuff than I am. Our first year living here we had 3' of snow in two days. That's more snow than I've seen in my previous 32 years combined.
thats why i have a central heating system
00Zero that made me laugh
arrangemonk - we have central heating but still its really cold
as the house has no loft insulation or cavity wall insulation.
I also have one of those - excuse my bad English but I don't know that word - thing like a fireplace but made of metal and it sits on the middle of the room and you have the fire going inside of it
When I left for the break to go back to San Diego a few weeks ago, I left my window cracked like one inch (opps). I come back two weeks later and my apartment is 42F and the heater doesn't work.....fun times.
Ruz - Your home has zero insulation? Damn, that has to suck
Yeah, cold sucks, but snowboarding is fun!
Australia can you confirm ?:D
Although, one time up in the U.P. they closed schools and businesses because of the cold; -20 F was the high for the week.
I considered trying snowboarding this year. Instead, I bought ice screws.
Yes, yes it will. It's January.
My friend shot this from his phone while biking home. Yeah I don't miss Mpls.
Took this pic a week ago. Taken with phone and unedited for your viewing pleasure:)
Had work this evening, was only one of 2 drivers out of 7 who should have been in at the pizza place, got stuck in snow twice and skidded on black ice.... fun times!!
Jesus Christ and I thought it was cold in Stockholm.. well this is one part of Sweden I won't really miss when I move to the US next month
Nice photo of snowy UK from bbc:
Yeah, I live in an old house.
It has been really cold here in Raleigh lately... as far as Raleigh goes that is. No precipitation when its cold though, only when it warms up (boo! wtb snow!)
quoted for epic
That can't be real...is it?
The heat register for my room is on the roof so it's kind of useless as the hot air never makes it down to ground level... So I have another small heater I use to warm myself up.
global warming = wider extreme in weather.

Lamont, thats some funny shiz! Perhaps eating a hot curry can speed up the process!
The water bottles are deceiving, the look like liquid still and you can squeeze them and they act like liquid, however give em a shake and they solidify almost instantly. (COOL!)
