The northeast is going down to single digit highs by the end of the week.
That is gonna suck, it's no -42, but it still will suck
You think that's bad--- wait til you see what we (in the upper central states) are sending you right after that. You better start knitting extra thick longjohns now!

This past week, we had overnight lows in the -25 range and daytime highs in the -10 range.
It wasn't too bad.
I normally wear 200g thinsulate boots, bought a pair of 1000 gr on Sunday (they did not arrive till Wednesday, though.) I wore some of the new style base layer stuff, browns, motorcycle overpants (Firstgear), a non UPS knit top overy my UPS shirt, then, my vest and jacket. On my head, I had a knit hat and one of those balaclava things that turns into a hood.
I was very comfortable doing resis and kept the door open all day (not while traveling to and from the route). While I was doing businesses, I was over-dressed and took off the overpants and alternated between the liner jacket and the lighter raincoat. Refrigiwear gloves worked perfect, but will not last very long. I wear mechanics gloves with knit liners when it is above 0. I doubt the Refrigiwear gloves would last more than a month of daily wear, but they are warm and kept my hands dry (sometimes, really warm gloves will not let the seat evaporate fast enough, making your hands wet, yuck.)
I lost about 10 lbs last week. I did not have the energy to eat big meals and am not very big on snacking.
Temps were below zero from Monday eve till Friday at about 3p.

Hoax, my sister in Sugar Hill, Ga just told me that it's a balmy 19 degrees down there. How can you stand the oppressive heat?

When I returned to the building yesterday there was water all over the floor. I guess a water pipe burst as there was no water available in the bathroom or at the drinking fountain. I saw no one on site to fix it, but the reload was starting. I got out fast- 35 people and no available toilets equals a bad deal. We kept trying to explain last week that you have to keep the thermostat at more than 32.4 degrees to prevent that- especially when all the overhead doors are open for ANY length of time, but that is just nonsense I guess. At least they had an excuse for no car wash.

Wow, bet you're glad you're visiting your daughter. We're in the upper 60's right now. Was in the upper 40's this morning.

Typical conservative not seeing the big picture!
"Global warming must not exist because it's really cold here today!"
Like saying the earth is getting warmer and not getting the big picture and realizing we have only been keeping records for 75 years.
