Forums - General - Extreme Cold Continues In Northern United States

I'm spending my Christmas break in Florida. I think it got to a low of 60 today XD. It's been 70-80 all week.
I get back to New York at the end of the month, but I love Florida weather.

Living in any of those places would be a pleasure for me. I live in a place where termperatures reach 36-45°C. This has been the hottest summer in the last 107 years. I LOVE winter specially when it's extremelly cold like below 0°C and HATE summer, so yeah, i would love to live up there now.



Silly americans still using F deg and thinking that north of the border here in canada we are walking around in T-shirts right now. :P

But seriously, here in Quebec it's way worst. Yesterday it was between -29 and -41 degrees celsius depending on where you were (that's right, I use celsius, like the rest of the world for many valid reasons). And no, this is not ''normal'' for us. It's extremely cold even by canadian standards, records were shattered.

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

What's the wind chill?  

Between -38 and -52. That's for yesterday which was the coldest day of the week. But today it was freaking cold also.

It was -17 where I live today...



Last winter was utterly brutal and it looks like this one is going to be even worse (I live in the metro area of Minnesota). It's been snowing almost every single freaking day...to the point that I feel like I'm going to go crazy with the constant snow. Although I would take snow any day to the death cold that's been/will be happening.

Depends on the year, and where you are. We've had large snowstorms as early as October (specifically a giant 30" statewide blizzard in 1992 on Halloween), and 20" blizzards as late as early May. Last year lasted from November into early May so about 6 months (but on average, I would say in MN expect Nov-Mar...5 months...to at least have snow...they all average over 7.5" per month).


Compare this to Southern California which goes on Hurricane notice with an inch of rain.


Luckily for me I get free heating (goes with rent) during the winter, so I can crank it up high. I do not get free AC during the summer, so I generally enjoy the winter more inside as I can sit around in the temp that I want. But during the summer I barely use the AC out of habit and stubbornness and it can get really hot.



I have never got my head around degrees F. What point does F reach zero? Honest question. 30 or so am i correct?

Only ever worked in degrees C. zero is 0. Makes sense. All i need to know is f the weather says zero i am look forward to some ice. Simple is it not?

Hey now, there's nothing wrong with Fahrenheit!  One of the cool things about F is that "below 0" really means business.  No one is gonna argue that below 0 F isn't cold.  Below 0 Celsius is only "freezing" in the literal sense.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
