(74,202 posts)Very cold here, OS! 15 F, but 90% humidity. 5-8" on way overnight, with a low to.orrow night of 3.
Normal winter weather for many places, but nothing is built for it here.
Total forecast snow this coming week (thus far) ~20".
Stay warm & safe, everyone!

I have a question from the warmer climes of the west coast. What do Nebraskans (my husband's family came from Nebraska) do when it's 30 below and they have a dog that needs to go out and do its business?
Stay inside and warm Steve!

(47 posts)7:00 a.m., 74 degrees but breezy. Thinking about putting on a T-shirt. Can't say I miss winter weather in the least. On the plus side, I suppose it makes social distancing easier.

(38,726 posts)...Steve, you are not alone....Yes, I have seen much worse....Once when I was a lot younger...
the temperature was a -13 below zero..& in my stupidity and my youth, I decided to go out and
jog a mile, yes indeed..
...Also, it had just snowed and there was 12 to 14 inches of fresh snow...And out I went..I think I walked the whole way, because it was slippery ...you know..............................................
..............................I recall coming back to where I lived and listening to the radio, the news fellow said the wind chill was -80 below zero. Lots of wind on that day.........................??
....I am indeed lucky to tell this story...I was so ...STUPID AND MORE STUPID...AND MORE STUPID!!.
....................1977 OR 1979...not sure......but I am smarter now....I am NOT going out even in...
........1 degree above zero.......................Those days are long gone...................
time to hide................... ...

(7,685 posts)I'm at -1 right now... but only going to -4 tonight and warming up to 25 tomorrow!!!
Not sure how cold it got last night, but I'm impressed that my furnace kept up!! I usually turn my thermostat down 5 or 6 degrees at night, but last night I didn't 'cause I was afraid the furnace wouldn't be able to catch back up!
Bundle up!
