A cool -12 with a wind chill of -35 here in Chicago , of course I work at a plant and everything is down and freezing up.
 
It is 8 degrees in Starkville and my gas furnace caught on fire a few days ago, having a new one installed today. It was awful this morning, parts of my house are so cold. Have three 300w heaters in my tank and it still can't heat past 75.8 degrees. Have a radiating heater in the leaving room buy the vaulted ceilings and open space make it not the best, have blankets pinned up over all the doorways to try to insulate some rooms. Fireplace has been a savior past few days.

We got up to a warm -13 in St. Paul Minnesota today! If it gets above 0 you'll see people walking around in shorts. Oh, why do I live here :(
 
5 here in Queens, NY. I live on the beach and the ocean is evil looking. 40mph winds has the ocean ripping across and the water surface is smoking from the air/water temp difference.
 
Reminds me of that movie where half the earth turns icy. All these single digits and negatives are amazing. And 30 in Florida. Crazy. So much for escaping the cold I the south !
 
15 here and they closed one of the schools down! No snow or ice. It's sunny as can be but one school closed because of the cold.
 
Brrrrrrrrrrrr! Just one of the 365 reasons I love living in the Pacific Northwest's Puget Sound region a little rainy and 40* at 10am. If I want cold and snow just need to drive East for an hour to be up in the Cascade Mountain Range (where snow belongs)

Seriously though, I hope you all stay safe and warm for the duration of this weather system and maybe try some of that mini bubble wrap insulation around your Reeftanks for their comfort as well.

Cheers, Todd

It's so cold I saw a teenager pull up his pants.

It's so cold I saw a democrat with his hands in his own pockets.

It's so cold my computer has been down for three days - really, the line froze. -8 last night, high yesterday was 2.
