Yeah, it's typical January weather up here in good 'ole ND. When I was still in grade school - high school, sometimes school would have to close because it was too dangerously cold to go outside. They ask that you limit your outdoors activities because even if you bundle up, it still doesn't take long for your legs to freeze. Sometimes I have to go outside and do something for 5 minutes and by the time I get back in, my legs are numb.

It could be a lot worse- this same time last year, it stayed -40ºF (that was WITHOUT the even more subzero wind chills) for about three weeks straight. Luckily, it's not like that this year. Right now here, it's -9 but feels like -28.

We have some snow in Saint Charles. We have not had extra, but it is pretty
cold here-currently 13 degrees.

Whoa. And I thought New England winters were rough...

Well, I guess I got out of there just in time. I was just in ND last Fri. night and it was a balmy 4 degrees.

Brent, you should consider becoming a meteorologist. It seems that weather fascinates you.

I've been interested in weather for 10-12 years now. If I don't become a met, I'll be a weather enthusiast for life. :lol:

When I was still in grade school - high school, sometimes school would have to close because it was too dangerously cold to go outside.Yeah I remember school getting closed when it's just about -20 because the...stuff in the buses freeze and they won't run blah blah. It's pretty sweet.

well too bad i dont still live in ND.

:lol:

We had tons of record highs yesterday across the Mid-Atlantic/SE

Dulles Airport, MD.....69°F*
Salisbury, MD.....73°F*
Blacksburg, VA.....64°F (TIE/1963)
Roanoke, VA.....70°F (TIE/1960)
Richmond, VA......75°F***
Elizabeth City, NC.....75°F*
Raleigh, NC.....78°F*

*New Record High for January 13th
***New Record High for January 13th. Richmond also has set a new record of 14 days, for longest stretch of days with temperatures remaining above freezing in January. Temp has not hit 32 in Richmond since before the 1st, according to the NWS.

NWS said a brief F-1 tornado touched down in Mecklenburg County, VA this morning associated with the frontal squall line.

I'm getting life-threateningly boring temperatures where I live.

If it was that cold in ND, imagine what it was in Canada.

We had -10 or -15 windchills. Cold, but not life-threatening.

Wow, I'm glad it doesn't get that cold here. I don't think I could handle it.

We've had a pretty strange weather pattern so far this winter. On Wednesday the tempetures aproached 60 degrees, and by the next day it was back down into the 20s. The tempetures have been dipping up and down like that throughout the entire fall and winter. I don't think I've ever expierienced below zero tempetures.
