Dang jet stream.

Today's high temp was 3 degrees F. The overnight low was -7 degrees.
Tonight is supposed to get colder. It was -6 at 6PM. The forecast for
tomorrow is high 30's. It'll feel like the tropics!

How stupid are we to live here?

Apparently not as stupid as anyone living near Yellowstone in MT. I heard on
the radio this morning that the temp was -42°F,

As Debbie pointed out in another thread, the cold acts as a
preservative so we look younger, longer.

I just checked, and the temperature is *rising*. Woo-Hoo! It's
actually a couple of degrees above 0 (Fahrenheit).

Not all of them - I see bluebirds here in the dead of winter. There is
nothing lovelier to see in the snow.

Actually, Cardinals in the snow are quite pretty 😉

You're right; there's nothing prettier in the dead of winter. Cardinals AND
bluebirds - 'twould be nice to see them side by side on a wintry day. It's
possible. We have loads of cardinals. They hang out on the fence around
the pool. I've seen 6+ at a time sitting there and in a snowy tree; they
really stand out!

We have a pair (at least one pair) of Cardinals that hang out in our
yard. The momma will spend time sitting on the window ledge of our van
looking at herself in the side mirror. Then she hops up onto the mirror
and looks around and then back to the window ledge. She keeps this up
for half an hour or more. We haven't figured out what attracts her to
this, but one male will sit on the tree branch outside our living room
window staring at his reflection in the window...a very vain
pair...lol...Sharon

I think we've already got it. I don't know what the temp has been the past
couple of days but it is COLD. We're supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow
tonight. At least there will be something to show for it 😉

Apparently not as stupid as anyone living near Yellowstone in MT. I heard on
the radio this morning that the temp was -42°F,

Ouch. That is cold. It is -4C here this morning. That is not too hard totake. I
remember about 15 years ago when I was working a midnight shift at this time of
year and it was -30, and I worked outside :-(

Thirty years ago when I was newly graduated and having trouble finding a decent
job a friend in Winnipeg told me there were lots of jobs out there and invited me
to stay at his place if I wanted to look for a job. I got off the plane on Dec. 6
and it was -40, which the same in F and C. Everyone out there told me that it
doesn't usually get that cold until later in the winter. I thought that if it
ever gets that cold I did not want to live there. I had an excursion ticket, so I
was stuck there for 12 days. It warmed up to -30.

I was also told that it is a dry cold so you don't feel it as much. Baloney.
That may apply down to about -25, but -40 is damned cold. The relative humidity
was over 80%, because it's too cold for any moisture to be in the air. They also
claimed that people dress for the cold. That gave me the to opportunity to point
out the complete absence of people outside. Our winters may be somewhat cold and
miserable, but we can still go out and enjoy the outdoors without worrying about
frostbite.
