Great Scott!! It's cold!
 

Down here in good ol' Houston TX we're having rolling blackouts. Driving is a nightmare unless you're on a freeway as most lights in my area are out. Hit 20 degrees last night and we're barely hovering over freezing. Friday we'll get 3 inches of snow which is a mountain to us considering we rarely if ever get an inch once every three years.

Oh, the normal temps for this time of year should be 60 degrees or so. :D


How are you guys coping with the cold front?

Stay warm and stay safe.

hahah same here man, went to try and eat lunch...half the restuarants were closed due to the blackouts!

It seriously took me an hour to get to I-10 and I only live a couple miles away. They started this rolling blackout business right before the morning rush hour. Pure genius!

Played soccer outside with my unit yesterday morning.... in -30 Celsius (-22F)! Two feet of snow, windchill to -35 and a frozen soccer ball... good times

Gotta love the Army...
Like they say "There's no life, Like it...."

i swim naked in antarctica

You guys are nuts. Respect. :D

Yeah, sad to see people who do not know what to do at blinking lights or lights that are just off. Definitely cold today and lower temps coming.

I'm sitting with like 2 jackets and 3 pants, not used to this weather at all. Wouldn't wanna be up north now! I'm from Costa Rica

:roflpuke2:

Hardcore dude...!

I'm surprised here in VA was about 69ºF today, but tomorrow down to 38ºF. :shakes head:

Tell me about it, I HATE cold! I'm from PR.

Pu$$y! Today, I heard about some govt offices closing because it was 'cold.'

I woke up to -20 this morning and still went to work! I didn't even wear gloves or a hat. Just threw on a jacket.

Jeezus! When the zombies attack, you guys will be the first to go.

Haha funny we might get early dismissal tommorrow and miss school friday if there is any ice on the roads tomorrow :happydance:

^ haha yeah, news channels in Houston are like "ZOMG! 3in of snow, don't even think about driving, stock up on canned foods and be sure to call ur loved ones bc u might not see them again"

:tup: nothing like the tropics

It was -17F last night here in Denver and we finally got up to positive single digits today. They shut down the freaking schools because they were worried about kids out in the cold waiting for the bus. We just had about an inch of snow but it was dang cold last night when I was shoveling, especially with a 15mph wind. I have been up here since 1996 having originally grown up and lived my entire life in the Dallas area but I have gotten used to it. It will be back up to 45F on Friday.

1.5 inches of snow in El Paso shut the entire city down. Damn that global warming

i thought the new thing now was global cooling? hahah

No it's "climate change". That way they are right no matter what happens.

It's got to be climate change since we have millions of years of spot on accurate temperature measurements!!

And the climate has been exactly the same until man started industry.

I just love the way nature plays with us! Two days ago it was -22F and today it is 33F before 7am....

So what your saying is that it's damn cool up there

You are personally invited to drive up and find out for yourself!! :icon17:


on a side note: we often train in El Paso. I wish I was there now.... nice place.

I use to live at Fort Drum in upstate NY (20 mins from Canada). I know what damn cold feels like.

Let me know next time your in town for training, if they'll let you off post.

lol yeah, here in San Antonio TX we went from a high of 80f one day then low 20 the next day....

mwahahaaaa
