    Living right by #1. It was -15 this morning with wind chills of -45 and it's supposed to be colder tomorrow morning. I'm SO not a fan. It's been below zero almost constantly since before Christmas.

    Yep, we were there visiting family right after Christmas.
    Brrr...

    no, but also in Canada and our temperatures match and go even lower than those listed.

    And in Alaska we get even colder then Canada. Fairbanks is way colder then any of the cities listed but did not make the list. They get a month straight of -30 degrees without with windchill. Screw that.

    I'm halfway between Chicago and Indy, so yes. The last arctic blast froze our pipes (even left them dripping). Again today/tonight we are going to see the -30 wind chills.

    Most annoying of all of this is that my kid has not had a full week of school in over a month!!! I feel sorry for those single parents or people who have unforgiving bosses. The news just did a story about people losing jobs because they are having to miss so much work due to school delays and closings.

    My city didn't make the list. Does that mean I have no right to complain or that I'm just smarter than you?

    DC isn't on the list but we've been having a crazy cold snap with the polar vortex. tonight, down to 13 degrees and with windchill, it'll feel like 0.

    Nope!

    I wish I weren't sick. It's 64 degrees outside today. Tomorrow, the high will be back down to 31.

    But 64! In January!

    Even if Pittsburgh hadn't made the list, I would still complain about the cold... just because this list suggests that if I don't live in one of these cities that I can't complain about it.

    I'm a contrarian.

    I also hate the cold.

    Yep. Colorado, but it's 20 degrees here and snowing, not bad right now.

    don't listen to her.

    winter lasts for 13 months a year in colorado. it's always well below zero and windy and it snows huge amounts. you wouldn't like it here. don't move here! that one time you were in Vail for a ski vacation and the weather was great, was a fluke. colorado is like cleveland in the winter, only 10x worse. i repeat... DO NOT MOVE HERE.

    There was a snowstorm when I was in Vail for spring break in like '86 or '87...:tongue:

    Hahaha. It's actually 14 months a year :tongue:

    Colorado is beautiful! Spring feels like Spring, Summer feels like Summer, Fall (if you even get a Fall, most of the time it skips straight to Winter) Winter seems the longest, coldest I remember was -20, and I was pregnant and still had to go to work. It gets pretty cold here, but apparently not as cold as some of these other places, Could not even handle.

    #12. Detroit. Too cold for even the criminals to go outside. Detroit has never been safer.

    Yep, same here!

    I'd be happy to have it feel like 0.

    Interesting the variations in Alaska. Our local weatherman was just saying yesterday that Anchorage has been warmer than Milwaukee most of January. Weird...

    Here in Kansas it was 63 yesterday and 16 now!!! WTF!!!

    Yeah, that's crazy too.

    My daughter lives in Savannah and they're under a winter storm watch.
    But I had to giggle to myself because it's for 1/2 to 2 inches of snow...:wink:

    Hey! Georgians can't drive in the rain. Just imagine what happens when it snows!!! :noway:

    fluctuations in the jet stream make it physically impossible for it to be cold in both Alaska and the northern contiguous US at the same time. Has to be one or the other. Hence it's cold here in MN and in WI, and Alaska is warmer than both.

    That's what hubby was saying.
    They aren't geared for winter driving.
    Shoot, we got six inches overnight Saturday and everyone was out driving Sunday morning, even before the plows were out- as usual :smile:
