Wow. It's actually cold enough for school to be cancelled here.
It was -27 F when I woke up. The warmest spot in my house was 56 degrees. In my back hall leading upstairs, it was 42. The furnace can't keep up when it's this cold. The kids are quite pleased to stay home. And already fighting.

:eyes:

2. Schools are cancelled here too.
The news began listing the delays and cancellations last night. By this morning, most schools had closed.

3. Your first sentence makes no sense
-27F and "woke up"

Now why would you do something crazy like get out of bed when it is -27F ? ;)

11. I was a little surprised they cancelled it here.
We've had school when it's been this cold, plenty of times. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Of course, the university's still open, so I have to go to my night class.

5. I feel absolutely toasty at 10 F
I'm sweating.......

I went to College on the Prairie, I remember that sort of numbing cold, where, if you got drunk and passed out on your way home, you would freeze to Death.

6. I'm skipping my morning classes
I'm not walking across campus in this cold. Not when I'm still getting over a cough and cold air is an asthma trigger.

7. We're canceled, too!
I teach part time, so I'm off. Our temps were hovering around 0, but wind chills are -30.

My furnace is running almost constantly. I'm getting some good solar rays coming in my south facing windows and I think that is helping keep it bearable in here.

8. It's too cold!
I didn't get a chance to find out if the glorified gopher saw his shadow-is spring any closer? I'm ready for spring, that's for sure!

9. School's closed in SE Michigan too
It was only six below when I woke up but we have dangerous windchills in the -20-30 range. Too cold for kids to stand outside waiting for the bus.

The sun is out but it's only warmed up to two above.
