Author Message   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:24 pm:    it's cold here , can you beat it? sad thing is , it's been like this for a few weeks now and i think i'm getting used to it.   KJ Posted on Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:42 pm:    I can't top ya Rob, but I'm freakin' COLD! It's about 15 here right now. Late night riding lessons have been a test, and they say tomorrow night will be the coldest of the season for us, yippee. I'm sitting here typing away under cover of a HUGE, STOOPID huge, sweater, and over that an afghan. I'm still wearing two pairs of pants, and I haven't thawed out yet. I think it's hot shower time. Karen   Jaime (Blueboy) Posted on Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:49 pm:    no, not cold. just feel shaken not stirred. currently in Mexico City and hotel room is on the 30th floor. almost lost my drink. felt like I was back in Tokyo. Jaime   Alan Yim (Alan) Posted on Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 11:02 pm:    How's this?   KJ Posted on Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 11:18 pm:    Dammit, I knew Alan would win! Show off. Tell me, I thought degrees C were fewer than degrees F, if that makes sense. I don't know the conversion, but as an example, I thought if it was 10 C it would translate to something like 25 F ? So, why would -24 C = -11 F? I just know it's a math thing and my brain won't get it..... in any case, Alan still wins! Karen   KJ Posted on Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 11:20 pm:    Jaime, Thank GOD you didn't lose your drink, LOL! Really, what a HUGE trembler that one was. Glad you were shaken and not fallen! Karen   Alan Yim (Alan) Posted on Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 11:32 pm:    Not sure this is a competition I want to win. And it really sucks when there's a wind chill. I was looking at Rob's temps and was fantasizing about 8 F. 24 F and you'll see me in a tshirt! As far as a math thing goes 1 C = 33.8 F if that makes any sense to you. Doesn't to me. As long as it doesn't reach 0 degrees kelvin, I'm ok with it. But if it ever does reach that, I think the phrase "A cold place in hell." comes to mind.   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:00 am:    Holly shit, its 9 a.m. and 14 degrees here in central Arkansas. That is very unusual.   Jaime (Blueboy) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:00 am:    Thx Karen. it could have been much worse thats for sure. To convert a Fahrenheit temperature into Celsius: Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32) Whats interesting in this formula is as the temperature gets very cold, the difference between C and F gets smaller. Jaime   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:04 am:    CANADA Does not count ! wind chill to -20 in the ridges here. can i get an amen? rd   alan Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:12 am:    LOL...afraid of a little competition Rob? All we need is some guy from Iceland or Alaska or something to blow us out of the water.   Jaime (Blueboy) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:20 am:    also unusually cold in Tulsa. Jaime   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:30 am:    lol... I was in Advanced Hydro, lecture was particularly boring, so, sitting there in my head, I worked out how to convert betwixt celsius and fahrenheit... Freezing is 0º in C, 32º in F, boiling is 100º in C, 212º in F. That's a ratio of 100º to 180º, which reduces to 5/9, then adjust by 32.... High today here is supposed to be 15ºF, it's 13ºF right now.... -L   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:33 am:    Ah, heck... -L   John Moore (Jmoore) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:39 am:    Though not as cold as Canada, the high here in Albany, NY today is 3 F it got down to -15 F last night. BRRRR! My boys want to go outside and blow bubbles to watch them freeze! -John   BIG BAD SUV Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:44 am:    Global Warming.. yeah right   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:48 am:    Actually..... Global warming doesn't lead to a constant warming, but an increase in fluctuation because of the additional energy input.... kinda neat, the "warmer" it gets, what will happen is that the weather will get quirkier instead.... -L   Phillip Perkinson (R0ver4x4) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:53 am:    Arent you a geologist Leslie? Where did you go to school?   mongo Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:56 am:    it's a balmy -2f in lovely Syracuse.... frank   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 11:26 am:    Yep..... BS from Tennessee Tech, MS from Radford.... also did a little work towards a PhD, but couldn't afford to stay in school anymore..... Actually had a grad course just on Global Warming.... actually, it's kinda interesting, looking at how the systems interact.... -L   Max Thomason (Lrmax) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 06:21 pm:    Yea Leslie, where is that global warming? We need it now to warm up this place! Its too cold!!!!!   Will Roeder (Will_Roeder) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 07:50 pm:    Leslie is right....global warming isnt just a constant increase in temperature. Although the global average for year-round temperature is/will climb, it actually causes more (and more rapid) fluctuations in the weather.... In my science class, we just started learning about this last week.....its actually a very interesting topic and I have *enjoyed* learning about it....   Tom V (Cozmo) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:10 pm:    Major cold front coming through Low in the upper twenties freeze warings in effect.   Sean Hanagan (Seanh) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:47 pm:    Irony abounds here in Colorado. Tomorrow it will be a sunny 50 F. The normals are -5/20F. To add insult to injury Nags Head is getting more snow than us up here at 9100 feet. The only good part is the sun shines 330 days a year here and the rest of the time it's snowing.   Chad Meyer (Ccdm3) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:17 pm:    It's -6 in St Louis. Chad   Don Wilbanks (Asphaltgypsy) Posted on Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 11:38 pm:    5 F here in Knoxville, supposed to go down to 1 F in the next few hours. Cold for Eastern Tennessee... Don   Eric Pena (Evalp) Posted on Saturday, January 25, 2003 - 12:53 pm:    Well, you all can kiss my ASS! I am in Colorado and it 'should' be snowing here and cold but it has been in the 60's for days. This sucks, I can't belive that Florida is colder than Colorado!!   TPH (Snowman) Posted on Saturday, January 25, 2003 - 01:47 pm:    Average has been around -10 in the a.m. and about 0 degrees most days. I absolutely hate winter and everything that goes with it. It's extremely depressing.   John Moore (Jmoore) Posted on Saturday, January 25, 2003 - 01:58 pm:    Snowman, It warmed up to 25 F from the last week of 0 F here in Albany! I was able to chunk up some of the ice on my driveway. Hopefully, some of the "warmness" will head your way! -John   Jake Hartley (Jake) Posted on Saturday, January 25, 2003 - 07:52 pm:    It was -17 here in Watertown MN last week! Most night are -5 to -10 with highs around 5 - 13. It sucks, but at least there ain't much snow! I am sure that lots of babies are made up here during the winter: not much else to do if you don't ice fish.   GregH Posted on Sunday, January 26, 2003 - 01:27 am:    It was 83F in Riverside today...
