Being a goalie in a game of street hockey played with a soft puck at -25C and getting a wrist-shot in the nuts makes you realize that soft puck do have a freezing point above -25C.

My roomie is from the Bahamas. He keeps saying things like, "How long is it going to be so cold?"

I look at him in mock disgust and say, "It's winter. The season where you have to wear more than a T-shirt, even indoors."

What's really pathetic is that this is the deep south where we rarely get a day below freezing.

I remember in the middle of summer some of the continentals over here wear t-shirts, jumpers and coats even if it's 30c+. Crazy. No wonder they all smell.

I wish it were a balmy 40F out. It's 11F (-12C) here, with wind chill of -10F (-24C). Gonna be colder tomorrow.

Complaining Angelenos need to be smacked upside the head with an iceball (or get a puck inna nuts).

I'm just pleased it has been remarkably mild this winter. If this is global warming, bring it on

It's been a nice, mild winter so far, but Winter descended on Chicago this week. A little snow, wind chills around zero Farenheit. No big deal.

Don't be too optimistic - nature just have a hckkup - next winter you probably can skate on the thames.

Some wind blew grit in my eyes and they started tearing. I tried to blink the grit out and closed my eyes for about 30 seconds. When I tried to open them, they were stuck together. The tears had frozen over my eyelashes. I had to take my gloves off to break the ice off my eyelashes.

Consider that tears have salts and other organic chemicals in it that makes its freezing point lower than regular water.

in cupertino no less?

So I used to be a Boy Scout when I was younger. One of the requirements for being promoted to Tenderfoot was that I had to sleep a night in a tent I pitched. Now, I lived near Boston, and I'd put off going on a camping trip until late. So finally... in February, while everyone was sleeping inside a nice warm cabin, me and another guy had to shovel out a tent size patch in knee deep snow, pitch a tent, and sleep in it.*

* - Well we could have waited a few more months, but where's the fun in that?

Here in the southern Adirondacks, we're expecting a high of 10F this Tuesday with wind chills to -30F. This will be the second day this winter. Our winters used to have two weeks of that in January and again in February.
I won't be surprised if the Maple syrup will be $60-$70 a gallon because there hasn't been a long-lasting freeze.

I grew up in Massena and remember those winters well: we'd come in from playing hockey and for the next 20 minutes we'd all be crying in agony as our hands and feet slowly thawed and regained circulation. Boy I really miss those days!
btw are you aware that Oswego and the surrounding area is expecting 3- 4 ft of snow over the next 24 hours?
