cold weather in oregon

[Nusk]

so the creek that flows by my house is frozen a whole 6 inches till you reach flowing ... i should have some pics together by tomorrow

never seen anything like this

[Maeya]

Definitely Global Warming.

[Nusk]

i can deal with the cold readily enough what bothers me about this is that it is absolutely bone dry. it is so cold my well water froze

at least if it snows you have some insulation

[Tikker]

welcome to a normal winter

I just saw a picture of a waterfall in oregon that was frozen solid.

[leah]

winter just took a giant shit on our area this week--8 or 9 inches of snow (or more) and windchills of nearly -25, i think. blehhh. i don't mind it that much, actually, because i really love winter and it's been awfully mild so far (this is our first real snow, and it's unheard of to wait until mid-december for that to happen in nebraska!), but i'm mad that i had to work every day this week when all the schools and universities and other various businesses got to close and stay home. AND i have to wear a skirt to work. (actually i got to wear pants one day this week, when it was bone-chillingly cold and the plows hadn't been through yet. it was glorious.)

lol this isn't even close to a normal winter. oregon doesn't experience "winter". it just gets a little colder. someone from michigan was telling me about a recent freeze + wind from the east that blew all the ice around and wrecked a bunch of shit. that sounds like winter to me. the worst thing that happens here is like... your pipes might freeze if you don't leave a sink running 24/7. or your car might break because it's not prepped for the cold

i don't even think we've broken any records. four years ago it was like this but it actually rained and covered Eugene in a sheet of ice for three or four days

the news here actually called what's been going on "the Deep Freeze" lol

[Zanchief]

Definitely Global Warming.

...sigh

[Drem]

lol

AND i have to wear a skirt to work. (actually i got to wear pants one day this week, when it was bone-chillingly cold and the plows hadn't been through yet. it was glorious.)

If it was glorious to wear pants, then why don't you wear pants to work everyday? Or does your boss likes ogle your legs so much that he make you wear skirts?

my point was more that most temperate climates get real winter

[Tuggan]

I am a fuckin' idiot.

[brinstar]

mixed bag for me

classes at the uni got canceled two days in a row, but i still had to work ;\

we have a skirts & pantyhose dress code except in extreme cold weather! i love extreme cold weather.

It was -45 here today. That's celcius btw.

[Tikker]

the scales meet at -40

lol, touchy touchy.

[Phlegm]

the scales meet at -40

then they separate again. -40 C = -49 F

[Arlos]

No, -40C = -40F

-45C does = -49F tho.

(typos, so powa!)

I've only been in as cold as -30F myself. Effectively -50F is craziness.

Even worse is the fact that I can say I've experienced weather colder than that far more often than I'd like.

[Drem]

i can't even imagine what weather that cold feels like

[leah]

PANTS AGAIN TODAY! christmas miracle. projected high of 10!

[Jay]

How sad that there's so little interesting stuff going on that we've reduced ourselves to talking about the weather =\

[leah]

well then spice up the discussion, buttface!

[Ginzburgh]

I wonder how that barefoot bandit kid living in the woods in washington is faring in this cold weather.
