is it cold enough ??!!
« on: January 08, 2015, 05:48:23 AM »
 how cold is it by you ??
     It's 18 degrees here in coastal North Carolina, which might be a record low.  It's hard to get down that low here - we have this big 'ol pool of warmer water right here next door called the Atlantic ocean that typically keeps us warmer....

Anywhere from -1 to -7 before wind chill here in central Ohio.  With wind chill it is about -25.

Was 6 degrees here in Marietta, GA when I woke up.   That's really cold for us as well.  Note expected to get over freezing for a couple days.

Made it up to a balmy 32° here in Marietta.  Tomorrow we are supposed to even make 37°.  Might have to break out the t-shirts!  Was sure nice at the show last weekend in Charleston, SC where it was 70 degrees.
Best,
Carl

It sure was cold here in Central Oahu, Hawaii.  It was 57 this AM and then it got up to the low 70s by the afternoon.   ;D
