We missed the snow, only a light dusting Christmas Day. I am in Central Ohio so no lake effect snow. I just checked the temperature and it is 6. I hope we aren't going to get another winter like 2013-2014. I can take getting a lot of snow but the constant extreme cold gets to me.

The temp went from -2 to -3F without the windchill and -15 to -30F with windchill. Weather forecaster said not to go out unless you have to but I'm getting cabin fever so will bundle up and brave the frigid temps. :cold:

It was so nice all winter. We had no snow and it was between -5C (23F) to +10C (50F) then suddenly at Christmas it just tanked and we're currently at -30C (-22F) and it's supposed to be -41C (-41.8F) overnight. :(

We're in a deep freeze and it's not supposed to warm up anytime soon. It was a high of 11F today and forecasted -5F tonight. In addition to the frigid temps it's sleeting right now which doesn't make driving overly safe. One thing I learned long, long ago is to layer my clothing.

It was 2 degrees when I woke up at 7am, with the wind chill of -12.... Brrr....
I do hate the heat turned up a bit, to get through this deep freeze spell..

The snow we had from Christmas is still on my balcony! The sun has not even melted it! That is very unusual; goes to show how cold it is outside.

I am going stir crazy, being lazy if I stay in the house, yet, I hate to go out in this frigid weather. This is record breaking low temps.. and the lowest we have been in 2 years...

Hoping this is not the beginnings of a horrible winter.

I guess the arctic front dipped down very low and is covering most of the US. So at least we're all in the same boat! It could end up being bad for heating gas prices though :/.

It's supposed to be -37 windchill Saturday and Sunday nights. High of -13 on Sunday! I hope all the New Year's celebrators will be smart enough not to wander off drunk and freeze to death. An older lady had her car break down and she walked away from it, they found her frozen in a ditch :(. This weather is dangerous.

My weather app claimed 74 F for yesterday when we're actually in an arctic freeze:eek2: I wish it was really 74F outside




It's 11 F now but feels much colder with the wind chill :cold:
My heat has finally kicked in this season. I have it set pretty low and it just was never cold enough inside for the heat to turn on until now.

We're still in that cold snap and I hate it. Currently it's -32°C/-25°F.

Unbelievably hot for this time of year. It's still in the 60's F during the day and dropping down into the 20's at night. I think Mother Nature didn't get the memo that it's winter. Makes me worry about what spring and summer are going to be like.

When Rick took Miss Beast out for her first pee this morning, he said it was 8 F with a real feel of -1. Our high today is to be around 17 F. We'll be down in the freezer until next Monday (Jan 8), when we get to 32 F.

It's a beautiful clear sunny day, bright blue sky, no clouds, no wind. . .and it's currently -12F :cold:. Lowest temp was -19 last night and it's supposed to get down to -25 tonight. If the wind kicks up we could have -50 windchills. Brrr!

This sun is tricky. People who move here from warmer areas say they see a nice sunny day and assume it's warm, only to find out the sun doesn't work in the winter!
