1. When people in Maine say it's cold, it must be really cold. :(

5. A lot of schools closed because of the cold

No snow or ice

Just freakin cold and really windy.

Ugh

7. We had that in the midwest last month.

50 mph wind gusts and 35 below zero windchill.
It was cold.
We had snow and ice too.
Looked like Antartica outside my window.

I just got my heating bill for that period of time.
Almost double my normal heating bill.
Yikes.

9. Be careful. The cold with high wind is a killer.

10. I worked for years in the Arctic and Antarctic

Got the gear and the skills.

11. Well how can you complain? You are now in a tropical paradise.

13. This thread made me colder so I just put on another pair of wool socks.

And trying to get back my couch blanket from my little dog.

2. Gonna get colder!

The wind is ferocious. So glad I can stay inside. And that the power came back on this morning!

3. Yup.

Sun is shifting and the temperature’s going down. Two degrees on the coast. That’ll change.

4. Would you care to elaborate, or have you frozen to death already?

[jpak]

6. Nope, but I was out of rum and potato chips

Had to go to the store....

Yikes!

8. (Laughing) Yeah, well that constitutes an emergency, as much as anything.

It's cold and windy outside here too, but "here" is northern Virginia. I listen to WBZ overnight, and the cold you're experiencing goes way past anything we're getting. I'm out of beer, but even I might wait until it warms back up before I head to the store.

Ration your supplies so that they last.

Added: WBZ comes in like a flamethrower here. There are closer 50kw stations, like KYW in Philadelphia, that don't come in with that strength.

14. I tried to buy

leg warmers yesterday (Boston) and could not find any. I ordered some online but obviously not in time for this weekend!
