Winter - Yes
Normal - No

We are having a mild winter here in NE AZ.

 

[Jen]

Husband is always cold. He'll have me turn up the thermostat to 73 and still use a heated blanket. It gets downright hot in our bedroom, I'll sleep with no blankets.

It is the other way around with me and my husband. The temperature here in the bedroom right now is 68 degrees. I am usually freezing at that temp, but I will be able to sleep in short sleeves with my husband heating up the whole bed.

 

[OldSchool]

Winter is much warmer than when I was a kid. Maybe not in the Deep South but certainly in the North.

Yeah, that's odd. I've been checking view of US radar the last few days. Watched snow move along the Golf of Mexico from Texas to Florida.

You just made me miss my bed-warmer. She went to bed before me.... made it nice and cozy.

Now house is 66.... warm enough when active around the place. I turn it up to 68 when I go to bed.

Down to 19°F and my waterlines froze. Hopefully it will warm up enough to thaw them out. Really wish my friend had put the pipe insulation on when running the new PEX lines but even that might not have stopped the freezing. Hoping nothing will rupture bc it will suck to repair. At least PEX tends to be more forgiving. Gonna have to see if hardware store has more of the pipe wrap for the 3/4" lines whenever stuff opens back up.

Always good to have a handy bed warmer.

I haven't had a bed warmer in decades due to health reasons. I've forgotten what a bed warmer is.

Did I mention how much I love summer?? Oh yes, only 1000 times!!

We probably have about five weeks left of hard winter. March can be iffy. Of course we can also get cold and snow in July and August but that is very unusual. I think in the forty+ years I've lived here It only snowed once in August. Got about 6" if I remember correctly. Did not last long.

 

[Patchouli]

Weather forecast says the "feels like" temp here is 1°. Temp is 26°. The high will be 51. I didn't see any snow but plenty of places around the area got snow. Southern Oklahoma got snow, shut down the interstate leading into Texas.
Houston to Pensacola got snow.

 

[Supervisor42]

We got down to 17 freakin' degrees!
This is not Montana dammit!!!

I keep laughing and laughing and laughing....... I can't help it.

 

[bkt]

We're kicking off the day at -1F. It should get as high as 15. Yay....

No kidding, we live down here for a reason, and it sure isn't to deal with artic cold!! We should have some 80's in February!!

 

[Pearl]

20°, yuck!

 

[Amish Heart]

10 out. Feels not too bad compared to yesterday morning.

 

[dademoss]

WOOT WOOT, we are up to 1 degree, OPEN THE POOL.

 

[Peanut]

12 degrees at daylight this morning. 14 when I got up. 67 in the house but I only left one brick on the space heater running. I turned on a little heat a while ago, up to 70 already, comfortable.

Supposed to get to 38 this afternoon, warmer night expected, around 20.

 

[Magpie]

Overcast but mild. Currently warnings for the whole of the country for Friday because of approaching Storm Eowyn with a guarantee of power loss in places. The Gov have established a orange warning, which means to be careful travelling, falling trees etc, but the forecaster just said it will possibly be the worst storm in living memory so no doubt a red warning will be put in place, meaning only necessarily travel because of wind and flooding, and all schools and small businesses will close.

 

[Steve_In_29]

Back up to positive numbers here today. 10 degrees at 07:00.

All you people in the south will get to tell your grandkids about surviving, "The Big Freeze of 25".

 

[Cabin Fever]

20°, yuck!

We're at almost the same temp!

We have family and friends in Houston. One family filled their bathtub with water and then drained the plumbing in the entire house so pipes wouldn't freeze and burst. I thought that was pretty smart.

That's what we did. So far, so good!

I feel sorry for the kids, actually heroes, who were stuck in the Battle of the Bulge during WWII. They were constantly wet and freezing cold, had a foot of snow on the ground, slept in foxholes, had no winter clothing, were low on rations and hungry, almost out of ammo, and weren't even allowed to build a fire for warmth. It was the coldest winter on record for Belgium with many subzero days and nights. Not to mention the almost nightly bombardment by the Germans. It lasted from mid-December to almost the end of January. They survived and won!

 

[zoomzoom]

19 below zero this morning. Going to warm up to about 12 above today.

[Supervisor42]

The lowest I saw last night was 12° at 1am.
...Only for about an hour.
Totally clear sky this morning, and with the bright sunlight bouncing off all that snow, you need a welding-helmet to go outside!
