Steel2Velvet Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I had to laugh yesterday. On TV, I saw a news interview with a climatologist who said that the unusually cold temperatures in the midwest USA was a result of global warming. And here I thought we had turned the corner .. In Curitiba, it has been high blanket cloudy all week (little or no rain) and so temps have been very comfortable - around 68-70 F. Whenever the sun peeks out for more than a few minutes, the temps soar up to 80ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 My thermostat read 69 this morning - which means it's COLD because I live in an inside lower unit so we're well insulated. For it to get to 69 in here means it's freakin' COLD out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 6 degrees. 6. One digit. 6. I'm terrified to go outside, but I will have to before the day ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 It is so cold here.... (HOW COLD IS IT?) It is so cold, that when you step outside, your nuts freeze on contact. Lucky for me, I wore underwear today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 At minus eleven, none of that stuff happens. Oh, you still deal with the Beagle gift, however, your toes collide with it and you need Tylenol extra strength to get the swelling down. Most wonderful time of the year my arse. This is not fit for man nor beast.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 -11C is only 12F. That's nothing where I come from. I can remember one day having to trudge to the bus stop (public transportation, not the yellow tin can) to wait for a bus to get to school and the WIND CHILL was -40F. They didn't close the schools down for that, you just wore an extra layer of clothes under your heavy coat and got to business. I had on two pairs of sweatpants underneath my uniform skirt, a sweatshirt over my uniform shirt, two scarves, a hat under my hood and gloves. I was fine. There's nothing better than walking in cold, crisp snow and hearing it crunch under your shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars88 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 The school buses won't run if the temperature is too extreme - they don't want to risk it breaking down in the middle of no where with a load of students on board. Several times a year, our garbage trucks don't run because the extreme temps wreak havoc with the hydraulics. It is getting down to -35C/-31F tonight and with windchill factored in will feel like -47C/-52F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 It's very cold in Spain and they say we might have snow in Madrid. That would mean no buses, no trains -Madrid isn't a city where it snows and when it does the city is a disaster area- and thus, no work for a couple of days...
