    Coldest Temperatures

    Stealing an idea from Jalopnik yesterday, post your coldest ambient temperature of the past couple of days - photo proof only, preferably your cars temp gauge

    For me, it was +7F this morning (Schools closed as it is too cold to wait for the bus, apparently)

    Haha, I'll play. Although I will need to get back to you on the outside temp gauge from the car as there is a wee bit of snowblowing to do before I could go anywhere. Oh, and they would need to reopen the highways also as everything in the ENTIRE county is now closed, i.e. no insurance/illegal for you to be out driving in it or past a barrier. Looks like another indoor day of activities to me!!

    And for anyone keeping score at home, that image from the Weather Network warnings page that mentions a wind chill of as low as -40 degrees... -40 is where Celsius meets Farenheit. -40 C = -40 F... which also equals FRIGGIN' COLD!!!! I'm not exaggerating by saying that if I were to decide to walk down the street to get my mail (which would be pointless because it wouldn't have been delivered) I would be putting my life in jeopardy.

    I'll see about taking some pictures from my front windows but it might not turn out well because I can't see the neighbor's house on the other side of the street!!

    In the past few weeks we've been seeing double digit temps below zero. I start my commute in the morning at around 6:00 so it's usually about as cold as it's going to get just prior to sunrise.

    I didn't take any pics in the past few days but yesterday it was -26F and today it was -22F. With the 25mph winds we've been seeing that puts the wind chill at -60F



    Here's a photo from about a week ago when it was -13.

    So me in Atlanta is about the same air temperature as Jonathan in Ontario. Awesome. Wind chill this morning was about -7F (-21C)

    But it's bright and sunny and I'm sitting in work.

    Car sat out all night and started right up and drove here without any problems (a little harsh on the suspension, and the TPMS doesn't like the cold air). Pretty impressive that we just take that as granted.

    Working at a school district, I get the days off when the governor of the state calls off school due to the cold. That was yesterday, and today the district itself called it off. We don't cancel school for 7º weather, but we do for -20º with -60º wind chills. Though I do understand those in Atlanta probably dont have as warm of winter gear as we do in MN.

    Taken after arriving at work yesterday morning, to work an 11am - 7pm shift.

    It seemed much colder earlier in the morning (about -18 degrees) and 25 mph winds (wind chill about -50).
