What's wrong with them Londoners?

The record low temperature for Chicago is -24F. This occurred on Jan 20 1985

The record low for the last 15 years is -20F, which occurred on Jan 18 1994

It can be nasty in Chicago, but not nearly as brutal as many other places. I must compliment che on figuring out that, rather than just whining about the weather here, he was free to leave. And did.

Amazing how many people can't seem to work that out.

Must be measuring near the lake, which is warmer in the winter.

Hmmm, the lowest temp I can find is -27F, 1985 & 1994. I don't see any measures for windchill.

[Asher]

That's weak.

Thank god, I've seen people wear gloves and scarves today. At least some people haven't lost their thermal receptors here.
And Serb, Moscow winters are humid. Even -20C is ****ing cold there.

I thought you were overstating the temp, but I didn't care enough to make an issue of it. It was damned cold. As I recall, it was in the -40s with windchill in '85.

That day in '94 was when we were moving all our stuff down the block and you called the real estate lady a ****. And we lost our jobs with the psycho pizza man because the pipes froze.

[KrazyHorse]

Dropping the c word.

If the other real estate person hadn't had been there, she would have hit Thebes, which apparently was what he was going for. We were in a fight wither her because the previous tenants had left a entertainment center behind and we decided we were going to take it with us. The landlady told us when we moved in we could either keep it or throw it out, so we kept it. Then they decided when we were moving out that it looked good to advertise that the apartment came with a EC. We told them to call the cops on us if it was really their property. Like, after having been total dicks to us, we were gonna do something nice for them.

Yeah, right Don't tell me about your winters, buddy. I've wasted three years of my life living in your city and know pretty well what exactly your winters are.

[Theben]

Actually I was peeved b/c after moving all morning I had to deal with their crap. The c-word just slipped out. And considering I had a metal beam for a bedframe in my hand, her attacking me would've been bad for both of us, I think.

It was a lot lower with windchill, for certain.

Why live in a cold place when there are so many more pleasant places to live?

I was raised here and born where it's not too much warmer. I actually enjoy 0 to -20c or so. Getting under -30c starts to be uncomfortable. When it lasts for longer than a week it gets to be a drag, but it doesn't do that too often.
