Jesus freaking Christ it's cold!!!
 

I like cold weather for the most part. But damn, it's really cold out tonight...it's colder here in Philadelphia than it is in Anchorage, Alaska.

Of course, it could be worse...I could be up in Griff's neck of the woods...

According to the "outside temperature" button in my car it was 7°F as I was driving home in the car.

I did not push for the celsuis conversion, because I thought it would be too scary. I am not yet prepared for numbers involving a - yet.

I think my fingers were trying to fall off from exposure to the cold between the office and the car.

The only thing on me that was toasty warm was my head, because I rather intelligently fell for an advertising pitch on QVC for a "Comfort-Temp" hood. I may have to get the gloves and socks now.

And you can keep it, too.

We just got over a freak patch of snow and ice here in Eugene. It lasted a few days, and now it's gone--started Monday, iced on Tuesday, pretty much clear by Wednesday night. I managed to fall down three times on Tuesday, once on each staircase out of Deady Hall, and then again on my walk home.

-14.2 F

Wow, the temperature here has DOUBLED in the last 4 hours. It's 10 now.:)

Skunks, you guys don't get a whole lot of snow at lower elevations in Oregon, do you? When I heard that Portland got 7 inches earlier in the week, I was rather surprised.

It got down to 4 last night at NE Airport...it's currently 10. And I have to go out later today for food...fuck.

10 degrees F converted to Celsius...

      Yeah, it sure is cold. Supposed to be 28 degrees outside my door right now.(It's almost midnight) Damn, that means I'll probably have to scrap ice off my windshield, and this is like the third or fourth time this year! Oh well, it's supposed to get up to near 60 tomorrow. I'll think of you guys as I'm putting on a light jacket tomorrow.

I've lived the past 12 years in either Astoria or Springfield/Eugene. Astoria is on the coast (9mi inland, on the river) and Eugene is sort of in a valley, I gather.

I've seen snowfalls greater than 2" maybe two, three times in my life.

I saw snowfalls greater than 2" three times last year. :)

Now, if you were talking Kelvins, that would be scary.

It's 20 right now, after getting down to 7 last night. It's already warmer this morning than it was at any time yesterday.

We're supposed to have a heat wave Mon. and Tues...temps in the mid-40s, but then it's supposed to get cold again Wed.

Well lessee, yesterday morning, it was 5 degrees F at Bruce's place, which would be 258K. {[(5-32)*5]/9)}+273=258K

So, if the temperature doubled Kelvin-wise, it would be 516K, which would make it...[(516-273)*1.8]+32=469.4 degrees F.

Yep, that would be pretty fucking scary. :)

(And you all thought learning temperature conversions was useless!)

I went up to the Big Apple Friday afternoon to hang out with a college friend who now lives in Tennessee, but was coming up for a conference. It was cooooold... I think TV said it was around 5 degrees Saturday morning. On Friday night we went to the Metropolitan Opera, which is only 10 blocks or so from the hotel he was in, but we sprung for a cab each way anyway because it was so windy & cold.

We're now having a heat wave at 26 degrees! :D
