I'll complain, but only in a whisper since 2T2L and Fargo are colder than where I am - here it is a balmy -27 below 0.

And I agree, I wish we'd convert to metric system, too. Even though I'll have to relearn almost everything.

It's -44 (a new record for this date) in Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota.

I live in Minot, ND, where it is "only" -40.

We're in the Fox Valley west of Chicago and just slightly below Grinsa (hi!) at -16F, up from -18F a few hours ago. Our schools also were cancelled. Today was a finals day and the last day of the semester at our high school; not sure how they'll handle that since they have all new classes when they go back next week.

Hey! I thought that if I converted the temperature in Minot to Celsius, I might feel a little warmer. No such luck. -40 Fahrenheit = -40 Celcius.

Seriously, I have wished for years that the US would change over to the Metric system.

Seriously, I was in 6th grade and received my first introduction to the Metric system because the US was to change over &quot;very soon.&quot;

Ah, well ... that's over 30 years back, now. Guess we have been slow with the change over!

Southwestern Germany: about 0, foggy and light snowfall. Typical winter weather here and a huge relief from the last week when we had under -10!

Yes, I'll complain.

It is around 12F here in boston. It may dip below 0F tonight and tomorrow night. And we're invited to a pot-luck party tomorrow night.

It was 15F last night and I went to pick up my husband with my car. He normally walks home at night (35 min walk), but I felt bad he had to do that in the cold and in the dark.

The high today in Upstate New York was 5-10F. Tonight, it's going down to -10F with a windchill of -15 to -20. Haven't heard a peep about them closing school, though, and I work in the high school.

It's 14F (-10C) here in Connecticut. I already have cabin fever and am counting the days until warm weather.
Turned down an invitation to visit friends in Florida, something I attributed to stupidity (or brain freeze???).

It's about -21 not counting the windchill factor. Will be +30 on Monday, so will be like a warm day here in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
