Baby its cold outside!

[renaegee]

-29 this morning in Madison WI with wind chills up to -50. I have really hairy legs and only shave during the winter. Shaving and smooth legs is one of the only reasons I look forward to winter. But today, I must admit that I wish I had every fully grown hair back on my legs! And a beard!

[Leelou]

Hi Renae, stay safe and warm! That's funny about wanting to be all haired up for this cold streak. It's scary cold in much of the county. Best wishes to those enduring this.

[docrobbysherry]

Yeah, I hear u. I don't think it will even get out of 60's here today!:thumbsdn:

[Stephanie47]

Not going out in a mini skirt today? I saw on the news the postal service has suspended mail delivery in the Arctic blast zone. You all have to wait for another day or two to get those pretties in the mail.

[Crissy 107]

I don’t think even extremely hairy legs would help with that cold weather therefore keep shaving them smooth and stay inside.

[Tracii G]

4 degrees here in Kentucky so I am keeping my big ass indoors.

[Alice Torn]

Here in sw Wis we had record heat and humidity all summer, now the other extreme. We live in extremely extreme times, in every way.

[Tracii G]

People always complain every summer and winter about the weather.
You think they would figure it gets cold in the winter every year so deal with it.LOLOL.
I have my handy dandy candle heater going in my office right now and its a nice 75 degrees.
The rest of the house is 67 ish.

I don't think this cold weather has cancelled one basketball game in Indiana

[Tracii G]

I doub't they have ever shut a road down in Indiana because of the weather.
I have driven my big rig thru quite a few blizzards heading north out of Indy.

I don't currently have a beard, but have worn one in the past. Typically I have let it grow for no-shave November and kept it until my professional meetings in January. It is amazing the difference a full thick beard makes when outside in the winter. Not feminine:heehee:.... but very practical.

It is quite a sensation to catch a winter breeze up your skirt:laughing:. I had enough of that last week! Glad I was wearing a pencil skirt:heehee:

[Angie G]

Its 3 herein Auburn N.Y. and still shaving my legs. :hugs:

Here in southern New England it isn't that cold yet, but it is coming. I am lucky though. I built most of the house I live in and rebuilt the rest and insulated to almost "super insulation" standards. Even with in 0 deg. I am warm and toasty on 2 cords of wood a year. Insulation and a good job of installing it is one of the best investments I have made in my 70 years. Have lived here for 43 years now and don't plan on moving until it is a move underground.

That Ground Hog better be nice to us on Saturday. Or I will leave him out side on a day like this.

Another Madisonian Here! Drove to work, then had to walk 1/4 mile from parking to my building - DAMN COLD! Wore my tights under my girl jeans, and made sure my silicone breast forms had fully adjusted to body temp before stepping out.
Gonna do it again tomorrow morning when it is supposed to be -31 degrees. BRRRRRRR!

[Beth785]

Went out last night for a late night dinner and a few errands. Got some gas last thing and at that time the temperature read 2*. With a stiff north wind, wind chill was about -20*! Was wearing heavy socks, winter leggings, denim skirt, lined knee boots, a heavy sweater, scarf and a very warm coat along with fleece gloves. Was cold, but bearable.

You can't say "Baby it's cold outside" any more since #metoo became a thing.

[Princess Chantal]

Could only wish it was that warm here. We’re in a deep freeze the last couple days and not warming up until the weekend. Today the mercury dipped to -41 celsius (-42 fahrenheit) with a nasty windchill reportedly to make it feel like -53 celsius (-63 fahrenheit)

[Davinnia]

Last Thursday here in Adelaide we had 47C (117F) with a friend's car reading 50C. Not dressing weather, I can tell you. A wig would bake your head & makeup run.Not sure which is worse, plus or minus 50C

[Crissy 107]

Princess Chantal, That is crazy cold up there. I can’t even imagine it.

[marlacd]

Supposed to be -21 tomorrow morning around here. We've had heat waves in the summer, really, the true heat wave starts friday, and by monday the temp is going to be hovering around 50 degrees. That's a 71 degree rise.

Probably the most welcomed heat wave we'll ever have.

[Kelly DeWinter]

Took a walk outside, came back in and put my hands in the freezer to warm up.

[Princess Chantal]

Princess Chantal, That is crazy cold up there. I can’t even imagine it.
It is truly crazy, dropped into a McDonald’s for coffee and they were serving while wearing their parkas, toques, scarves and gloves!
Took this picture from one of the grocery supermarkets on my delivery route, they had to move as much of their liquid products from the backroom and displays at the front doors to the middle of the store!
Unlike many places, when it is sunny clear skies in the winter it equates to very cold temperatures. Where as cloudy and/or snowy days are usually very mild in comparison

[Beverley Sims]

I have only experienced -27 in Chicago that was a surprise for me as I had just come up from NOLA on the train.

Yep I wore flip flops down there.

Bought an ice cream at Mc Donalds and it never melted, unlike down south a couple of days before it melted before I could consume it. :-)

[SherriePall]

Is it true that in Wisconsin, this is football weather? Lowest temp on my car this morning was -9 F. Years ago saw a -40 on the car. The official low that day was minus 20-something. Good weather for wearing tights with a long skirt (in the house, of course!)

[Barbara Black]

LOL, I'm not so sure that a little hair would make much of a difference. I have to keep going outside to feed birds etc., and I refuse to re-dress or pull on some pants when I'm 'dressed'. It's chilling on the legs here too, just a little north of you up in Green Bay. Mostly it's that wind chill, about 50 below right now, that chills the legs quickly.

My wig (hat) is off to you Princess. I'm sure our temperatures around here lately is more commonplace up there. I love short skirts, but GEEZ!!!

Well Sherrie, we've resisted the urge to put a dome on Lambeau Field, but..... ha ha (It'll never happen)

[Maria in heels]

Wow, you aren't kidding when you say cold...getting the chills here in NY just thinking about that temperature. And we think its cold here ! Stay inside, bundle up, and keep warm!

[Tracii G]

11 degrees here in Ky but thats better than 4 degrees we had yesterday.
I have been in Alaska in the winter and it never got above -40 the whole week I was there.

[paulaprimo]

I guess we had the heat wave at -7 last night. ;)
The wind is a killer!

[Sometimes Steffi]

It was 10 degrees then morning, although the official temp was lower.

I turned on my windshield washers, but it just froze up on the windows. I could hardly see when the sun hit the windshield, so I waited until the car warmed up. But in 20 minutes the washer fluid froze up.

[Crissy 107]

It’s currently 20 and that is already much nicer then yesterday. Even the dog did not want to go outside, I had to tell her, Too bad on that.

[Tracii G]

Its a balmy 31 here in my neck of the woods today YAY !!!!!!

[Lana Mae]

Heat wave at 35 F here! Hugs Lana Mae

[Princess Chantal]

It feels so nice here out of the wind today cause we have some flurries happening! After the deep freeze for nearly 2 weeks, -16c (3f) is a nice relief. The windchill is at -27c (-17f) which still puts a little frosty nip on the nose and ears.
Some visiting American friends thought that we all have electric cars here due to every vehicle being plugged in. I had to explain the plug ins are for the block heaters and battery blankets.

[t-girlxsophie]

The UK gets different reactions to the cold weather,down south they act like it's Armageddon,wall to wall coverage on the news etc

Up north we just put a jacket on

Northern girls in winter :)

[renaegee]

Well, we have had a 75 degree swing to the plus side, 45 degrees right now, so I am once again elated to be hairless on the legs!!! LOL

[Stephanie D]

it's so cold here, I'm actually thankful that I'm NOT wearing a dress! :eek:

[Alice B]

Living in San Diego in S. Calif. we are totally spoiled. For us it has been cold, rain and high winds for over a week. Yet it is nothing in comparison to what most of you are facing. I keep my legs shaved all the time, without worry to time of year. Ig I lived in your clomate i would still do so. Would have nylons on and leggings over that. Even in summer shaved legs is not longer an issue in society.

[giuseppina]

It was below -18C for most of last week around here. Now, its pouring rain. A large quantity of snow has disappeared, down to the grass in some places.
