brrrrrrrr

[MissHoneychurch]

it is fucking cold outside and I need to get out again to go to a bookstore to bring back books we already have in the library. Darn

[leftstreet]

1. Are you a LeftCoaster, too? It's brrrrrr here.

x(

[MissHoneychurch]

2. No, I'm a European

but we too have winters :D

[leftstreet]

6. European accents rock!

[MissHoneychurch]

8. ...

:blush:

I admit I have a German accent. Can't deny that.

[leftstreet]

11. ooh la la!

[MissHoneychurch]

12. no ..

THAT is french :D

[Bassic]

36. I'm a Canadian and I don't believe Euroe has real winters

:D Except for, like, Russia and northern Europe.

:P

[Err]

3. Yeah, it's pretty cold here too...

8 degrees F with a wind chill of 0 degrees F...but it's 2:30 in the morning, so I don't have to go anywhere. :)

Be sure to dress warm, and think hot chocolate.

[MissHoneychurch]

5. well, it is slightly less cold here

but 30 or lower feels about right. I think of my hot tea I am gonna make me when I am back.

Before I go outside I put on my long coat, my scarf and my hat ... and my gloves ... should hold me warm.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. I bet you look adorable

all bundled up like that. :loveya:

Especially the hat. I wanna see the hat. :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Somewhere I have a pic

with me and the hat. But not on the computer I am at right now, which is at work.

[neweurope]

4. I'm still sitting beside the heater.... but I'm freezing when I look out

of the window... *brrrrrr* And I have a very bad cold, a cough that damn near kills me. Certainly don't feel like leaving the house!

-------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

7. my hands are cold also

my co-worker opened the window for a bit to let fresh air in ... I swear she is trying to kill me :)

Sorry to hear that you have a bad cold. You don't seem to get a break right now ... :hug:

[NMMNG]

9. I'm freezing too

Three layers on, the heat is on 75, and I'm still cold. I effing hate winter. :mad:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. I am someone who freezes easily also

but funnily I sleep with the window open even in winter.

[NMMNG]

19. I could never do that

Although the upper floor of my place gets overheated at times, the most I end up doing is kicking off the covers temporarily.

[MissHoneychurch]

20. I need the fresh air to sleep

I always had troubles in the U.S. when the A/C was on because the air gets too dry.

[NMMNG]

21. I have problems with dry air in the winter because of the heat

So I have a humidifier over my bed. I don't have any problems with the A/C though--it doesn't seem to dry out the air the way the heat does.

[MissHoneychurch]

22. well, the heat is drying out my nose also

but with the A/C it was the same. I have problems with my nose anyway. I already had an operation that I can breath better through my nose. My tonsils were infected the whole time because I was breathing through my mouth.

[SeattleGirl]

15. Freakin' cold here too!

Mixed rain and snow. Cold. Cold. Cold!!! Thank god for good indoor heating! And for Miss Kitty, the Queen of the Universe, who loves to lay on my lap! And for fleece blankies! Gotta keep it warm! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. ahh yes

kitties can keep one very warm. I miss that. :cry:

[SeattleGirl]

17. Oh MissHoneychurch!

Thought about getting another one?

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Oh yes

but I am not in the right situation to have a cat. I am gone for the weekends too often.

[OldEurope]

23. I´m going to have some

Glühwein aufm Christkindlmarkt

:toast:

[MissHoneychurch]

24. I rather vote for Feuerzangenbowle

but Glühwein helps also :)

[OldEurope]

25. Feuerzangenbowle is too complicated for now.

greetings from Munich

:beer:

[MissHoneychurch]

28. why is Feuerzangenbowle too complicated

when you are going to the Christkindlmarkt?

Just asking :)


Greetings from Frankfurt :hi:

[Stockholm]

31. Or kleine feigling perhaps...

Put out a shoe for Nickolaustag!

[MissHoneychurch]

34. change the kleinen Feigling to that

and I put more than one shoe out for Nikolaus :D

[emmajane67]

26. Cold here too.

It's blowing a gale with rain lashing on the windows.
Welcome to London!

[MissHoneychurch]

29. we gonna get that weather

the next days. It is coming over from Britain. And the temps are rising so that means rain and not snow.

[hfojvt]

27. you should come to America

It is written in "Memoirs of a Sauk Swiss"

"Merciless cold pressed down upon us. I have never seen the like of it since. Animals died in large number. Trees split open. Our cabin was heated at one end by a fireplace and at the other end by a cookstove. Despite the fact that both were kept going full blast, the drinking water, standing on the table between them, was usually frozen over. Had it not been for the heavy featherbeds we had brought along, and in which we now spent most of our time, we must surely have perished.

Our spirits naturally drooped and father in particular became very melancholy. Over and over again he said 'To think that we came to such an accursed land to give you children opportunity. Better we had stayed in old Switzerland - you would not be freezing there.'"

[MissHoneychurch]

30. you give me a green card

and I am on my way .... to the South :)

[hfojvt]

32. comparisons

all temps fahrenheit

Chur, CH - 41 High, 38 Low current *45
Burbach, Deu - 37; 33 * 23
Lawrence, Ks - 43; 25 * 23
Sauk City, Wi - 21; 16 * 9

Switzerland wins!!!

[MissHoneychurch]

33. another one

Savannah, GA High 59 Low 35 Current 43 (tomorrow 67!!!)

Frankfurt, Germany High 34 Current 32 (feels like 22)

now tell me were I rather would be :D

[Left_Winger]

35. I know what you mean

it's 1 degree Centigrade right now, but should make up to at least 10 by late afternoon. At least it does not snow here very often and today is very sunny which helps.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. aren't you in the South??

why is it so cold there?????

[Left_Winger]

40. A cold front came through

but they do not last very long. However, tonight it is predicted to drop to -1 C. Sunday it is supposed to be back up to 18 C.

[RebelOne]

45. I'm in North Georgia and it does get pretty cold here.

This morning it was 31 and its only going to warm up to about 51. I'm not complaining because I love cold weather. Maybe once a year we get snow.

[MissHoneychurch]

47. I've been to Savannah some years ago

for 6 months over winter. It was El Nino time, so it was rather warm. Went to the beach almost every weekend. Loved it

[In_The_Wind]

37. It's above freezing.

I'm always happy about that!

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

39. the temps are going up over the weekend again

but my mom lives in the mountains and I am not so sure how "warm" it is going to be at here place

[In_The_Wind]

41. Are you going to visit your mom this weekend?

She's all set for this winter isn't she?

[MissHoneychurch]

42. yes, I will leave work in an hour

so that I have more then enough time to catch the train.

I think she is set. She lives in an area where it is actually still snowing in the winter.

[In_The_Wind]

43. Have a wonderful time!

[MissHoneychurch]

44. thank you Joani

I sure will. Haven't seen my mom since begin of October.

[In_The_Wind]

46. I know how it feels to be miles away from the ones you love.
