14. It's 41 now and supposed to get as low as 24
Friday night. I hate cold weather until that time period right before spring starts when the daffodils are getting ready to bloom. I love it then, because I know the ground is thawing some.

16. I need to know groundrules
for example, do we measure in F or C? And how much weight to we give wind chill?
Anyway, it's now -9.3 with no appreciable windchill. Chinook is coming in.

17. 58 degrees in Long Beach
course its still only 6:15, so it might still get down to 50 before the night's through - at which point I might need to close the window and/or put on a long sleeve shirt! :rofl:

27. 18 here now but do we get extra points for m.
forecasted nasties?

Cause we're supposed to get hit by a nor'easter tomorrow night into Friday.

Either way I have to wonder about Global Warming, given that it is just so darn cold here!!!
