Damn it was cold this morning. -5F on the way to work, and I know our peeps in Montana have to be getting it worse than that.

My car's electric unlock didn't work this morning. Fortunately it was just than and not a drained battery.

And for Ashleearoha...just shut it with your southern hemisphere summer! :)

    Wow, and us Texans are complaining about it being 25 degrees here, high is 39. One drop of snow and the entire city shuts down. We don't know how to drive on that stuff so it's best we stay home. Plus people like myself cannot function in the cold. I can't for the life of me understand how you guys do it up North.

    I don't think the highs here will be much more than 10F.

    On the flipside I don't know how you handle 2 months in a row of over 100 degree temperature.

    hehehehe, I can handle the heat, but not the cold. And I laugh when you guys complain about it being 85-90 degrees. That's awesome weather here.

    I guess we are a product of our environment.

    Woke up this morning to -17F (*approx. -27 C) in NH . . . My dog did not want to go outside this morning ... I told him I get my coat and keep him company & he was like "you go 1st". **It did warm-up to about 12F today.

    The temperature here hardly got out of the 40Fs last week. We were dying! At the box, everyone was in head to toe sweats.

    40F? That's like 4C according to Google. That's mild!

    UK climate rarely moves out of the 0 - 20C range at any time of year. We had a cold winter a few years back where most of the country got to -15C or colder, but this year we've not had that much frost.

    This morning it was around 5C. It's gone up to 11C now, but this does appear to be a really mild winter so far.

    It is really boring being in a temperate climate. Very little variation

    Mind you, I have no idea how you guys do CrossFit in some of those temperatures. Icy barbells etc. It's bad enough here sometimes in the winter.

    We just found out we had heat after a gas leak at the gym, but we havent turned it on. Been in the 10-20F here in NY Metro. Temp inside the gym is 50-60. I wear a tank.

    Spoilt! :o

    But it's only cold when you first get started anyway. You soon warm up.

    In for 6am this morning, -5 outside, about -1 in the Box! Coach actually called a halt to our strength sets. Said no one was moving properly and someone was going to get injured.

    Barbell was stinging my hands, I actually ended up using lifting gloves for the bit I did

    Pretty cold here too, but now I actually have one! Unless my daughter has Fifth's disease, which is another possibility. Housebound... :'(

    Two to three feet of snow coming starting this evening. Tomorrow's WOD is snow shoveling.
