How cold is it?

Colder than a parole officer's smile.
True, back in my winter backpacking days, I'd wear layers starting with a wicking layer, an insulating layer or two and an outer shell. There were trips where my portable thermometer was pegged at 30 below.
"Braggin' cold", I usta call it.
I did sometimes wear gloves.

-13 this morning. It hasn't been above 20 since Christmas. It is supposed to get in the mid 30s next week.
It's so cold the iguana's are falling from the trees!
Kamikaze iguanas fall from Florida's frozen trees - Telegraph
About 9AM the 4th I smelt snow on the NNW wind.
Faint but there. No mistaking the scent.
Been quite a few years since I could whiff it on the wind, longer since I've felt it on my face.
I don't envy the rest of the country; brutal cold since Christmas.

14°F in the Heart of Dixie, when I started stirring around. Up to 15°F now.
Have a blessed day,

The weather is so cold here, that when a beagle chases a rabbit, they both walk. 
It's cold enough here that I put ice cubes in my pockets to act as hand warmers. 
Isn't amazing and sad how critters get into ones life.
Here's a tabby that showed up at my house last summer, he was emaciated and abandoned. I was sitting on my patio when he crossed my yard, I simply said what you doing there buddy and over he comes and up in my lap.
I started feeding and taking care of him, put a pet door into my shop so he would have a warm place to stay. Now he comes and goes as he pleases. I have no idea what his name was I just call he shop cat.

At -30 I'd have to fasten the top button on my flannel shirt.
It's so cold here that prisoners are begging for the electric chair.

That's a little tale told in the film Fried Green Tomatoes. Except I think it was ducks in the film. I always smile when I hear it.
I just heard it is so cold in New York it froze the nuts off the Brooklyn Bridge.

It's so cold here I saw a dog frozen to a fire hydrant.
It's colder than a well diggers ankles here in NW PA. I have to dig a path in front yard snow for Katy to go potty.
Supposed to get up to a balmy -5 degrees tomorrow. I think we'll just stay home and huddle 'round the fire.
I got up around noon and had a thin sheet of ice froze on my fountain. Been in the high 20's to low 30's past two nights. Only got up to 47 today, but were gonna be in the 60's - 70's starting tomorrow.
I've had my bike plugged into the battery tender for almost a week now! Kinda wish I'd moved farther south.

The local river's frozen. I've never seen that river frozen like that before. I'd get a picture but it's too cold out for that.
