We are deep into the heart of a Polar Vortex right now. Damn it is cold - I ain't going anywhere.

:)Moi our weathermen/women forecast only Maine weather.:)Ernie of Maine

Hey Ernie. Isn't that kind of like the weatherpeople in Yuma, AZ only predicting the weather for the Yuma metro area (seasonably sunny and hot), except the opposite?

PS. I forgot to mention that they only issue predictions quarterly in Yuma.

Here in west-central Indiana, the wind chill was -5F last night. It was +9F at noon. It's +12 now with a wind chill of +3F. Wooo hooo!

It's -29 Celsius right now, with a 20kph wind making it feel like -38.

I'm dressing to walk 8 blocks to the store that has cheap smokes and the cheese I like. I'm stupid like that.

My pile of clothes includes; Tights, socks, boots, sweats, pants, t-shirt, pullover sweater, hoodie, and parka.

Wish me luck...

It's time to abandon that insular, backward, and obsolete measurement system. It's now down to only the United States and Liberia using pounds/feet/Farenheit. The rest of the world has moved to a more logical system.

Daniel Farenheit set the marks on his system with ZERO as the coldest he could reach in his 18th century lab. 100°F was set at his body temperature. He had a slight fever that day. Neither temperature has any real logic behind its maintenance. Time to move on. If you must use that obsolete system, it would be polite to also give the world-standard measurements together with it. :D
