A balmy 24 here on Cape Cod. Just lit a fire, which angers the wife 'cause we don't have a fireplace.

I have been to Gardiner, Livingston, Billings, and spent an exciting 4 hours at the Bozeman tire store (that is a whole other story). Beautiful state!
oh hell you were not even in the nicest part of the state......west of the divide is the nicest :)..
My youngest lives in Three forks which is about 30 miles from Bozo and they usually get colder weather there and usually windy but at least it is sunny.

You'd fit right in here in MN then. Back in the day when it was cold, people dressed accordingly. Nowadays... If you go out and about you're sure to see a few morons (not talking about you) in shorts and sandals (with socks of course, because it is cold ya know).
I'm a teacher, and it always amazes me how many high school students will show up in shorts and no jacket on days like this - never preparing for a car or bus to break down. We are already running two-hours late on Tuesday due to the below zero temps.

Wind chill is such a stupid thing news agencies do nowadays. As if -16° wasn't already cold enough, they got to tell you the wind chill, which only affects you if you're going outside without protective gear on.

Meteorologist: "It's -16° outside, BUT it FEELS LIKE -40°!!!"

Guy1: "So how cold is it outside then?"

Meteorologist: "Well it's -16° outside, but if you were to go outside without protective gear on, and the wind were to blow in your direction, with moving airs heat wicking properties, it would feel like it's -40°."

Guy1: "My neighbor is fat as ****, weighing in well above 400 lb, if he goes outside is it going to feel like -40° with all that blubber on him?"

Meteorologist: "Well it differentiates between individuals. Person to person, wind chills will feel different depending on a number of factors."

Guy1: "Then why the fuck would you mention it?!?"

Meteorologist: "SENSATIONALISM! Stupid Americans won't watch our program if we don't produce ridiculous numbers! If the weather isn't giving mind bending, abnormal temperatures, people stop watching!"

To be honest, I'd rather have -10 degrees and no wind than 10 degrees with wind. The wind goes right to the bones and makes it feel a lot worse. I've been living in Minnesota all my life and the coldest temperature I've ever experienced was -39 degrees. The governor cancelled schools state-wide that day. I had my Ford F-150 (inline 6-cylinder 300) with a block heater plugged in all night long and it fired right up in the morning!

-29F ambient this morning when we woke up at my parent's house (Deer River, MN - visiting for the long weekend). We had a 2024 Wrangler Rubicon 4XE as a rental and it charged outside overnight and fired right up when we set off for the airport.

I can hardly claim the record here, but the overnight figures are a bit chilly.

I don't know how ya'll survive out there in those temps.
Think of it this way: There is no bad weather, only the wrong clothing. ;)

Give me four seasons instead of mild winters and hellish summers.


...until we pass a new school levy, budget cuts make schoolkids who live within 2 miles of school don't get schoolbus service "cause they can walk it".

I hate to break it to them but that was my norm back in the mid '70s.
Yep. Grade school was exactly 1 mile from the house; high school, almost two miles. I took the bus in the younger grades, and then had a compulsory pivot to my 10-speed bicycle and/or the Shoe Leather Express. All year, all weather.

Let the school district do without picking your pockets even more. The little darlings will be fine.
