Currently 21°F without wind chill. Not as bad as Feb 2021 when temps hit 7°F here with no wind chill factored in. Still chilly.

Cuz on Nolin Lake called around 5 pm or so. He said cold front moving his way.

I need some ice cream.

Why Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Is Controversial

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has become one of the most beloved Christmas stories ever. But why did the special gain so much controversy?

If I camped out in this thread, outrage levels might go off the f*cking charts. We're talking stratospheric. True story.

I have that affect on some...purely unintentional.........................(As far as you know...)

We are at 9 degrees and snowing heavily!!! Went from 45 at 5 to now!!!!

I am watching the Armed Forces Bowl being played in Ft Worth, TX and it may be the coldest bowl game on record. It is about 10° and the wind is brisk. It has made kicking difficult especially in that cold. There is no snow.

Our weather here is 65° and it will be in the 60's all night. It feels cold to me.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Just announced, Armed Forces Bowl is the coldest bowl game ever played. Wind chill -1°. I am sorry but that is not fun to me but the winning team will probably love it.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

16 and snow, going down to 1 in the morning with wind chill around -15. I not going anywhere for a couple of days.

 

[BBUK]

I was up at 0530 this morning and it was raining hard. It is still raining. Sure glad it is not snow.... I am thankful... Good night...

Yeah I'm just going to sit back and read a book tomorrow. Already 11 degrees and 6 degrees below wind chill. Ground covered with snow. Going to get much worse.

Police called after 'Cousin Eddie' holiday display spooks neighbor

Police in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, had a surprise when they responded to a call about a man exposing himself. It wasn't a man; rather, it was a "Cousin Eddie" mannequin.

It's a nipple splittin 3° here in Lexington as I head back to my little holler. Had to check on some property, and it's a good thing I did. Had contractors replacing some stuff at one and I found 2 windows open. Can't imagine what the heating bill will be...

It's my fault, too. Not theirs. God was telling me I left em open but I forgot which ones I opened... Worth the drive up there to check, anyway. Stay warm, D-League! May the Father bless you with continuous power and ample heat!

 

[AustinTXCat]

Then I would not need cannabis.

Enjoyed some good stuff back in KY last month. Real good.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

All the work I did to make sure pipes wouldn’t freeze were for naught. Left water running and they still froze. Guess I missed something. -1 current temp.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 14°F and clear with no wind chill factor. Today's high may reach 31°F. New heater holds up well. Wind chill = around 1 or 2 °F.

I might walk over to a nearby homeless encampment at North Austin Event Center after first light to check on frozen bodies. Stay tuned.

Happy Friday, y'all.

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning, D getting ready to read Luke23. We are at -5, with the wind chill it's a minus 26, 4.35" of snow. Going to wait a while then try starting the cars

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Rainy and windy here. I’m content to watch it through the window. Going down from about 45f to 10f in a matter of hours. Outside chance - pretty slim -well get enough snow mixed in for a white Christmas but not counting on it.

While many of us slept the Bengals clinched a playoff berth with the Jets loss. For those of us who have lived through so many years of being eliminated by about Halloween this is nothing to take for granted.

Hope it’s a good day for all.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Get ready for a different day... Has to be, doesn't it? 😁

Yeah, working from home today. Had leave scheduled but canceled that....aren't you lucky...."may" make it my mission to increase the drug usage...

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Friday Morning D

63° at this moment and it may end up being our high. Warnings are out for a hard freeze coming our way. We have partly cloudy skies and rain chances this morning are 39%. It will be sunny this afternoon as temperatures fall to near freezing. Overnight it may get down to 27° around 5:00 AM. If it stays below freezing for four hours I am in big trouble. I am going to take a chance and not cover the plants and the trees are too tall to worry about. I might lose that avocado and my tangerine tree may be in trouble too .

I can relate. Almost

I heard yesterday that Santa, to stay with all the things that are changing, has added a new category to his list for men, we now have naughty, nice and I'm trying!!!!

I hope there is no grab assing in the huddle to keep warm. They would have to change the command from "Alright, let's huddle up!" to "Alright, Let's cuddle up!".

It is -5°F here and about an inch of snow.

Morning Legionnaires!

6° with 10-20mph winds. Wind chill factor -15°. Yesterday the winds hit 40-50mph all day and most of the night. HVAC struggled to keep us above 67° in the house so, I brought in 3 space heaters (oil radiator type) from the shop which helped. House was built in 2003 and the HVAC unit installed was made in the year 2000. It has been repaired a couple of times and the last time the repairman said it would be best to buy a new one if it goes out again. That's the plan. Probably do new windows too in the near future.

Couple of bowl games today:
Louisiana Ragun Caguns vs Houston Cougars at 2pm central
Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Missouri Tigers at 5:30pm central
Go Tigers!

Has anyone ever noticed that the mascots for the division one schools in North Carolina are all kind of evil in name?

North Carolina Tar Heels (Pagan Ram)
Duke Blue Devils
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
North Carolina State Wolfpack (symbol looks werewolf like)

What's going on in that state?

 

[Sawnee Cat]

It is -5°F here and about an inch of snow.

Bert that is just plain cold. Lord have mercy

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently a frigid 1° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will see a high of 5° and winds of 15-25 mph.

Stay warm and have a great day.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

-3 now. As much as I want water I prefer to stay in for the moment and be warm.

 

[UK82]

Alexa says -7, local radio says -5 with a -26 wind chill. It's hard to tell how much snow we got with all the drifts but I'd say 2-3 inches. Winds currently at 19 mph. Our Christmas gathering for my wife's side of the family will be a challenge tomorrow night. Ice is my greatest concern with the elderly that'll be here. No way am I shoveling until it gets up to 5 degrees.

19,000 without power. Prayers sent for these poor souls.

You have to go out for water?

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

You have to go out for water?

On a well. Need to get under house to apply heat. -20 with wind chill 🥶

 

[BBUK]

Man,

Checked the temperature here. It is 40 outside, going down to 16 later in this day. 😬

 

[Sawnee Cat]

This is our local forecast for Christmas. Wind chill temperatures but for us this can be brutal cold. 30s and 20s are just different in Florida. We are not built for this.

When it is 24 in Frostproof, it is no longer frost proof.

 

[berniecarbo]

On a well. Need to get under house to apply heat. -20 with wind chill 🥶

Good luck. I have heat lamps in the well house and under the house and am hoping it's enough.

 

[UK82]

I can't get the dog to go outside. I open the door and he runs the other way. Probably thinking "Why don't you go out and take a leak and see how you like it. Better yet try taking a dump outside".

[berniecarbo]

I knew this was coming, so I "thought" I had extra bulbs for my heat lamps. I looked for them Wednesday but couldn't find them. I checked 3 different stores, and they were all out. There was one place left to check without a 50-mile round trip. I had suggested this place to a guy I met in an earlier store, and he got there right before I did. He got a 2 pack, and I got the last one.

Had heat underneath also, evidently not enough.

Yeah, I'm hopeful, but not 100% confident.
