The temperature is -22 degrees F and the wind chill is -40 degrees F.

I need to get out of Minnesota and someplace warm soon!

1. I hear you
I had to pump gas today and when I re-entered the car the radio said it was -35 windchill. They're predicting snow tomorrow - how can it snow when it's this cold?

2. It is cold in Wisconsin too
I am rapidly gaining weight because I don't want to actually walk the dog like I usually do. It is way too cold. I just want to sit in front of the computer and be warm.

11. It hurt to breathe tonight
I had to stand outside while filling up the car here in Eau Claire, WI, and it was so cold, it hurt to breathe.

It's -15 at my house tonight.

It's cold, but it's a dry cold. So it's O.K..
