[toymachine566]

I'm getting prepped mentally for it. I'll be outside pulling the head off the car on Saturday. Getting "just-in-case" med for when I get sick lol.

It figures the weather is decent up until I need to do work on the car, then it starts to get unbearably cold

[PSUsouthpaw]

I hadn't even heard about it. This oughta be a fun weekend...especially since the heat in this building is controlled by the landlord.

Oh well (Pulls sleeping bag out of closet and plugs in electric radiators.)

[hyunelan2]

I'm not in your region, but close and it's colder than **** here. Sunday is supposed to be a high of 7. 7! They're talking wind-chills of -20. We were going to fire up the grills and cook up a bunch of sausage (necessary mid-west food) before the game, but I'm not sure we'll be able to keep the grills hot enough to cook on, haha.

[zx2uner]

we've been in the negatives since tuesday...todays high -4 and sat and sun willm be colder...yay....I love the cold (seriously)

[silversharkXD2]

yeah!!! I'm going to the fort pitt motel to get away with the wife. I can waste their heat instead of mine! woo-hooo Cheesy heart shaped hot tub here I come!!!

[Ugzz]

of course.. ill be driving up north this weekend toward eerie ot see my g/f.. what a great weekend to go north, where its even COLDER! yeah.. for sunday the high is 6... SIX! and the low is 1.. hello.. ONE DEGREE! lol

sounds like a good weekend to
A. Stay in, crank the heat, get under a heated blanket and watch some movies...
B. Call up a buncha her college friends and have a party

[BobMs_wht2k2]

We're getting Mikes weather Sunday night. Supposed to drop down about -7 monday morning and reach a balmy high of 6 on Monday. The real heatwave comes Tuesday when we hit 13!

Hey now! Watch bagging on Erie. That is where I am from. We were at 1 degree earlier today with a wind chill in the -20s. Just threw on the weather channel and it is currently 3 degrees.

Where does your g/f go to school?

[Slapshotman7]

next week is supposed to be colder than last week which had a low of -22 below.. woohoo. I beg for 7 degress lol.

[04GTboySC]

wow i drove home this past weekend it snowed in NC and was bitterly cold in VA now back to South Carolina and it was actually nice out ahh i luv living in the south haha

[OPZ]

Yea. I'm SO glad that I don't have class tomorrow.


Screw Smithfield street bridge...

[evan938]

so if its 0 degrees, and they say its going to be twice as cold tomorrow, what will the temperature be tomorrow?

and yes, there is an actual answer...(i saw this somewhere recently)

[elantra_mann84]

-20 ??

[ghrpdx]

We had subfreezing temperatures for a couple weeks out here ... and it's finally gone. Was 60 yesterday and supposed to be the same today.

[ricerrx7]

There is no possible answer for that. You can not measure the temperature in units of "cold", only in units of "heat", called BTU's.

[SuperGLS]

I'm thinking it depends on how cold it was compared to 0.

If it's 50 and then it's 0, twice as cold would be -50. Right?

30, then 0, then -30.

45, then 30, then 15.

Today it was cold, that's all that matters.

[evan938]

"Kelvin. You have to convert Farenheit to Kelvin.

0* Kelvin = absolute zero.

0*F = 255.3722222*K

255.3722222 / 2 = 127.68611111*K (twice as cold)

127.68611111*K = -229.835*F



OR, if you knew that -459.67*F is also Absolute Zero, you could just divide that by 2 to get the answer as well."

lol i guess brithish thermal units is not the only thing u can measure temp with lololololol

[Ugzz]

Where does your g/f go to school?

Allegheny in meadville, her friends i pick up occasionally goes to edinborough (or however you spell it :P) and we head up to eerie occasionally casue well.. meadville is boring lol

and yep, it hit the 1 and 0 they called for.. it was -20 windchill Yeehaw :P

[babot]

It's getting freezing cold here in Champaign, too.. and i'm feeling happy for my battery replaced :) - Optima Red Top!

However, I'm just waiting for the weather over 40F so that I can wash my XD.. It's getting dirty.. too dirty... I really want a garage!

[Ugzz]

^^ oh man dont get me started! its been weeks and my poor blue car is WHITE with salt!! i cant wait for some high 30s or more so i can wash wash wash!

[exsailor]

Present temperature here is -8°F with a windchill of -26°F going down to windchill of -31°F before dawn :( brrrrrrrrr!

[ghrpdx]

I looked at Weatherunderground.com and was amazed at some of the low temps. I can't remember ever seeing temperatures 30+ degrees below ZERO. Yikes! Hang in there everyone ... it will warm up again.

[Ugzz]

it sux when its so cold.. but its so sunny out! you look out the window and yer like oh its not so bad.. then you go out and your face freezes off... -hahahahahah speaking of which a friend of him shattered off a piece of his mustache like 2 days ago. he was walkin somewhere in the cold and went to wipe above his lip and CRACK.. busted a piece right off... thats when you know its cold!

[evan938]

i went out to start my car a couple days ago, had been out of the shower for 10 min, came back in, felt my hair, was like "i dont use gel"...then realized how cold it was. brrr

[OPZ]

All 3 of the rivers in Pittsburgh were filled with ice today.


At noon. It made me angry as I crossed the bridge, but made for a sweet phone background pic! haha, but yea, IT NEEDS TO WARM UP NOW!

[robs02elantra]

hahaha, yes it does. Unfortunately it's not going to.

I was doing some research on groundhog day, and statistically Phil is wrong around 80% of the time, so you are more likely to win if you bet on Phil being wrong. Which means 6 more weeks of winter for us.

[Munky]

No matter what that damn Groundhog "says", there will be six more weeks of winter. It's a retarded tradition.

The first day of spring has always been March 21st...also known as the Spring solstice. It has nothing to do with a rodent seeing a shadow.

I don't know why we even bother with it anymore..

[robs02elantra]

the first official day of spring is one thing, the first day that the weather warms up is another thing altogether. I agree that it is a stupid tradition, but like I said, statistically it is proven that Phil is wrong more often than he is right. So, the number of "cold" weeks we have left is going to be longer...and might take us to the actual spring solstice

[KeWLKaT]

who the hell is phil? dr. phil?

[xxxmonoxidechil]

we have seen a high of 6 degrees in the past week....

right now its like -3 with wind chill at -20

[SilverRide]

the US version of Wyarton Willie, the groundhog they wake up to get their stupid forecast for the winter, something to break the tension / boredoom of the winter, as we enter the LONGEST coldest month....shortest month but it feels like it takes forver to pass,
