I agree, have a maintenance scheduled for Thurs putting me on the roof for a few hours

[Jackie]

Yup - here it comes...

No snow here yet, but it's coming... (and it's cold).:eek:

[Chris]

13° here right now, yuk!

[Jim]

16's a heat wave here!

[Tom]

20 and snowing in Longmont

[Hypoid]

Starting another winter season, and still, I ask myself what I'll do when it gets cold...

[Jim]

"Teens" and below is my limit for "comfortable". Fortunately, the bite is not as bad here vs. the Midwest.

[Jackie]

I HATE the cold. (I'm playing "fetch" with the cat...)

[dscowell]

I'm okay with it. Inclement weather means late start!:)

[Chris]

I HATE the cold. (I'm playing "fetch" with the cat...)

So much for the hardy Minnesotan! Me too, we moved to get away from these temps and it's warmer in MN than here right now.

Cat's play Fetch ???

[Geno]

I just got home from work 2am and it is 11 degrees here in northern Colorado springs, I live on the north end of town at 6693 feet according to GPS. I have done kitty bowling before. I will explain it some day LOL

[Popsgarage]

Me either!!!!!!!!!:mad:

[AccordRanger]

Cat's play Fetch ???

I have a friend who's cat plays fetch. Cracks me up.

[Jackie]

Cat's play Fetch ???

Mine does. And she uses a toilet - not a litter box! She's pretty amazing!

[Brad]

Aaaaand my battery was dead this morning. I have the worst luck with electrical and cold temps. Got a good used optima in there now, had to install outside, it is no fun out there.

[Funrover]

I love this snow! Went for a nice walk during lunch. I guess I am odd one out!

[Jackie]

Yes you are, Arron. It practically took a knife to my throat to get me to go to the grocery store today!

[Tom]

9 degrees here now and dropping. Furnace is running non-stop.

[Chris]

You went out?! :eek:

[redneck23ms]

8.7 here in west fort collins. i'm not a big fan of snow anymore now that i have to get up early to plow. had to be at work at 3am today and 2am tomorrow. ughh

[Jackie]

You went out?! :eek:
Can you believe it??? Then I cooked and baked as an excuse to heat up my kitchen!

[06HokieTJ]

Nothing like a quick 3.6 mile run with the dog on a dark, snowy, 8*F evening to clear the mind and soul (and lungs and sinuses)... It was amazingly peaceful. One of my best runs since signing up for this 1/2 Marathon. Believe it or not, I got hot and came home sweaty! Had to shovel the drive way to 'cool off'... lol

[Jim]

I've been in the last 24 hours, somewhat under the weather, - but I'm itching to get out for a short ride around the area. It'd be nice for the "get back to normal" perspective.

Did anyone get more than about 6" of snow?

[Chris]

NEWS ALERT: Tonight will be frigid!

Thanks 9news, we really need to be told. :confused:

[Chris]

Can you believe it??? Then I cooked and baked as an excuse to heat up my kitchen!

You're better than me Jackie! Barb did venture down the block to check for some mail she's been waiting for. Outside of that we stayed inside nudging up the thermostat.

You suck! How dare you be so young and healthy and warm! (I kid, I kid):D

[06HokieTJ]

To be fair... that was a personal record for coldest run ever. I've skied in 3*F weather, but an 8*F run was a lot more comfortable! lol

[Jackie]

I've endured colder weather in MN, but note I left it 30 years ago for that very reason. I REALLY hate the cold.
But this is Colorado - so things will change quickly!

There ya go !!

[Tom]

[The StRanger]

I heard -15 this morn..

[javaman34]

-1 at my place at 7:00am

[Tnsejed]

Its a frigid -7 here right now. Heaters in the shop running non stop. I've got a salamander heater pointed at my machines trying to warm them up!

[foxtrot]

was -20 this morning when I got to work up here, with a wind chill of -42.... yikes

[The StRanger]

Yes !! Its damn cold !!

[Rick]

-20 at my Evergreen garage at 7:30 this morning

[06HokieTJ]

29 degrees in my garage this AM. Plans to insulate the wooden garage door tomorrow.

Had to pull down sheetrock (luckily, it was recently hung and not taped/mudded yet) as the cold water line for the shower slushed up Wed night... in the ceiling, in the garage.

It's cold!

[Popsgarage]

I'm working nights down at the new Denver Union Station hub. You wanna talk cold, come hang out with me some night.

[Hypoid]

Ummm, I'll pass, but you take care in that cold!

[Hypoid]

Dodged a bullet yesterday!

Yes, I took this from inside. :D

[06HokieTJ]

Fixed the cold water freeze problem... not fighting hot water lines freezing up in same area. Ugh. I'm getting really good at dropping sheetrock and re-doing insulation. I think this time might have done it (installed air-dams in the joist pockets to block convective currents most likely coming from a cold spot near the sills/siding).

Ready for warmer weather!

[Popsgarage]

Little bit to cold for the ol' girl??????????

[Chris]

This is kicking my old @ss - I doubt I'm the only one here with asthma but this deep freeze is a trigger. Bring back the warmer temps I want to breathe!

[Jackie]

We've had the water dripping in our basement bathroom for a week now because the pipes are on an outside wall. Our furnace also went "partially "out on us a few days ago. If you kick it or hit it just right, it will blow hot air again - otherwise it blows cold. We had a tech from Brothers come to fix it today and he was honest enough to tell us that this 20 yr. old furnace is not worth fixing... So... $900 for a fix we "HOPE" will work or $5K for a new furnace.

Ummm... Summer is coming! I'll worry about this later!

[The StRanger]

Come on sweet sweet summertyme !!!

[ExplorerTom]

Funny thing is.... It's still fall.

[The StRanger]

Yup !!

[Jackie]

Not "funny"... Tell me when it's over. I'm gonna go hide under the blankets.:rolleyes:

[The StRanger]

What, No Snow runs ??

[06HokieTJ]

x2. Normally cold weather exercise induced, but this crap is tough.

Spent the weekend working in the garage. Insulated the garage door with foil back R6 polystyrene sheets. 6 hours later, the snow/ice on the vehicles is FINALLY melting! Our garage has been below 32 for days. Here's hoping the pipes don't slush up again tonight.

[Jackie]

Open your faucets enough for a drip and that should do it.

Try having Arthritis in your hands
OMG This SUX !

[06HokieTJ]

Yeah, I agree, but was actually trying not to do that. There clearly was something fundamentally wrong with the insulation around the piping in the ceiling of the garage... No way pipes in an insulated space should frost up above an insulated garage. Coldest we've seen in the garage this week was only 26F.

[The StRanger]

Thinkin our place is put together good.
Never had a problem with freezing or Flooding !

[Chris]

Try having Arthritis in your hands!Hey Sam, you know that after 55 everything starts going to heck! I blamed my asthma, turns out it's pneumonia. Time to move somewhere warm!

Iv always like north New Mexico !

[Chris]

Iv always like north New Mexico !just spent some time in the Santa Fe area this summer, pretty nice area but I prefer Hawaii. I just asked Barb why the house seemed quiet - she said "the furnace isn't running!" WooHoo!
