Paul i thought you lived here longer than that. It can get worse. Seen -30 here before only colder I've been in was -40 in MI.

Yes. my phone said it was 37. so I guess it doesnt show windchill. I regretted it immediately after getting on the highway.

I dont know. It freezes a few times a year here. but it always melts by noon. The last time we had considerable snow was about 4 inches and that must have been over ten years ago.

The trade off is incredibly hot summers I guess. but that doesnt really stop you from riding unless its in traffic.

Somebody told me they saw a guy riding the other day here in Minneapolis. I wouldn't though, if not for the cold, but the snow and ice.

But we do have our own breed of hard-core cyclists here who brave the elements year round. Everyday. Right now feels like -10 F with windchill.

Dallas was a thick sheet of ice today. Not much in the way of snow. It blew away. Supposed to hit -3 windchill tonight. Cold down here and cold up in like Colorado are two different beasts. I stand outside in shorts at 10 degrees in Colorado (done it often there), wouldn't dream of it here.

Just went to bathroom upstairs. Toilet no filly. Opps. Just turned off the main and crossing fingers.

We had -10 about 10 days ago here in the city coldest so far. It was -46 in the far north of the state that same day. Coldest I can recall experiencing was -35.

cb650 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2011, 05:49:12 AM »

When this blew in on monday did see a M/C cop. It was a sidecar but there was snow on the ground.

Supposed to be rolling blackouts areound here today. I heard it was only supposed to be in 15 minutes increments. I wish, it has been over 6 hours so far.

apex_seeking · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2011, 10:10:37 AM »

Todays not so bad. -13 to start the day but we are all the way up to -4. Time to break out the shorts!

CaféElite · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2011, 11:34:07 AM »

I was in estes park this past weekend snowboarding at eldora.. Got up monday to drive home and was like "Ohh sh1t!!!". From estes park to the eastern outskirts of denver was like 3-4 hours. On the flip side the drive from estes to boulder was a scary blast.

While kansas city got hit pretty hard I am glad im not in chicago..

Beautiful sunny day here about 10 above. Looks like Chicago took it on the chin.

It was -15 here in Lakewood this morning.

We saw 11 days below zero during Christmas 1985, lowest then was -22 at 3 AM one of those days.

I have seen weeks of that straight as the HIGH. I have been in windchills of -80.

scottly · « **Reply #24 on:** February 02, 2011, 09:05:58 PM »

It's 4 F here right now. At least the wind has stopped. Heard on the news this AM, when the temp was about 15, that the chill factor was -7. Not complaining, as I know a lot of you are having much more severe weather, but damn, it's cold!

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #25 on:** February 02, 2011, 10:52:41 PM »

I feel for you guys back east. Isn't this about the 4th 2 footer you guys have had?! We've seen maybe 6-8" ALL winter so far along Colorado's front range. 70 one week then -20 the next week is something else though.

I can't come to terms with the temperatures you guys are talking here.
It sounds to me like you should be able to register your bikes for the months that it's possible to ride 'em. I don't think I'd be able to survive outside over there in winter.

With a name like that you would be a natural over here. Come on over and bring your mittens. There is an article in our local paper today about some folks who piled all the snow they have had to shovel onto their patio and then hollowed it all out enough to have standing room, put in chairs, and a fireplace. Holds up to 15 people.

Actually my 'nick' comes from my love of soft serve ice cream, one brand is FrostyBoy', I don't mind the cooler weather, however here at home snow is something we hear about but never experience.
The heavy snowfalls over there seem to be creating as much drama as the floods & cyclone over here. I hope all you guys stay safe.

BeSeeingYou · « **Reply #30 on:** February 03, 2011, 11:18:29 PM »

How cold does it get? Sometimes we have to use ice scrapers on the INSIDE of the car windows.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #31 on:** February 04, 2011, 01:40:05 AM »

I think you lot are on drugs

have you not heard, the globe is getting warmer, It's called GLOBAL WARMING, your thermometers must be working in reverse

Sam.

P.S. at 40c it's the same temp as at F
