Brutal Cold in the Midwest
 

http://www.greenwichtime.com/news/us...st-5116789.php

Being from Chicago I am used to ridiculous weather changes (It could be 55 degrees F one day, the next plummet to 25 with freezing rain or whatever).
But it's -16 right now and it the wind is just vicious(making it feel like -30). This Polar Vortex is taking hold of a lot of the Midwest.
Easily the coldest temperatures I've ever seen in Chicago.
Anyone else braving the cold today?

I left Minnesota, thank God.

Northern Indiana myself. The amount of snow we got is NUTS. Temperatures are at record lows.
I have ZERO plans of leaving my house. Gross

Also in Northern Indiana as well. Hate this whole thing. Have a huge snowdrift outside my house and can't go anywhere. So cold, and I'm tired of this. Ugh.

I hope it turns out we are next door neighbors who hate each other or work rivals.

Dudes. It's insanely cold in ohio right now. I've lived here most of my life and I cannot recall it ever being so fridged. I got home around 7p, my furnace auto kicks on at 5:30 and the house is still not at 68 yet. Brrrrr. Haha

Me too! No regrets!

-6 here in columbus with -35 windchill. Whats funny is the ski resorts closed today due to the cold temps :lol:

So since some of you mentioned living in Indiana, do you also hail from Indianapolis? Something I ordered is to be shipped by FedEx from a warehouse there and it has been there since the 2nd, which was the item's initial ship date. The snow storm is one thing, but I guess brutal cold weather is even enough to hold FedEx back.

I'm in Ohio..I had to take a break halfway between scraping the ice off of my car today to sit inside and warm up for a while. That never happens. And tomorrow is supposed to be even colder..

It's around 11 degrees here in New York right now.

Nope, not next door neighbors, and I don't have a job so we're not rivals. Still, it's cool to meet someone who hails from the same region I do.



Nope, not from Indy. I live two hours away from there.

It was 3 degrees earlier today in New Jersey. It's supposed to get a lot warmer though by the weekend.

That guy would love that kind of weather though :lol::P

^^ That is WILD.
So that was an interesting couple of days. I went out last Wednesday looking like I was gonna rob the store with the whole wool mask and like 5 layers of clothes.I had gone walking out 5 blocks since the car wouldn't turn on so I went walking.
Now it's like 40 some degrees and some folks are wearing shorts.
Chicago's nuts...

I actually got my order last Tuesday anyway. It had been shipped out from Indianapolis on the third all along. I just never got an e-mail about it being shipped.

It was pretty warm on Sunday and yesterday; I hope today will be good. Hating the potholes forming though.

Midwestbros are you ready for the weekend?

I hope Residentevil7 is ok.

Stay warm in your man cave, brother!

I think we will see some icy rain here in the greater Chicago area, but most of what we see on the weather map seems to be WAY south - like Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama.....

I think he said he lives in his "mom's garage" or something like that..... Hope it's heated! :lol:
