It's cold here too - though I doubt it's setting records. Yesterday they cancelled public schools all over the region because it was deemed unsafe for kids to be outside on the way to school (high was +1 F, I think). My kids went and played outside anyway - though it only lasted about 15 minutes.

Wow, that's crazy cold for SE VA, Tracy. I used to work as an archaeologist in Gloucester, and my former bosses posted a throwback Thursday picture today of me all bundled up with a caption about them being glad they were working inside and less fortunate former employees I had no idea about the sub-zero windchill, though. Maybe next we it will be in the 60s? Fingers crossed for you. Stay warm!

I went to NYC today and it was about 12 degrees to start the day but then warmed up to 19. Moved my daughter in to an apartment , I was carrying lots of things so that certainly helped me to stay warm ! Now back in PA and it is currently 14 and NOT windy so things could be worse

They cancelled schools here on Wednesday, but they were in session today. Odd, given that the wind chills were about the same on both days, plus we had snow today. Regardless, they don't let the kids outdoors at recess when the temps are this low (I'm not exactly sure what the standards are, but wind chills below zero definitely count). The kids want tomorrow off, but I doubt it will happen!

I just read the article and noted that you're close to my company headquarters. I'll bet you're all freezing!

The climate is all over the place these days. While the American continent is very cold, the European is warm, particularly in Northern Europe. Our weather is way warmer than normal, and 2014 was the warmes year ever registered in Norway. The skiers among my friends miss the snow, but I don't are too much about that. I'm more worrid about what this means for the environment.
