sppunk Posted January 23, 2013 #29 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Huh ? :confused: I haven't heard anything about National Grid shutting down for four hours. What is this about? I live in SC PA. :) Met-Ed is the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKaren Posted January 23, 2013 #30 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We fly to San Diego next week for 28 days on HAL. When we return, it will be March and the sun will be rising and setting in much better spots. Last March we were in Caribbean islands and it was warmer in central Illinois than it was there. Who knows what will happen in two weeks. So far, January and February have brought less than 2" of snow. The ground is barren. Yuck! Gimme some snow to go with the cold. Never above a dozen today! Single digits at night. Fortunately the wind has died down. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted January 23, 2013 #31 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I live in SC PA. :) Met-Ed is the company. Sorry your electric company chose such a freezing night to go off line. Hope they get the system back up quickly. I am sure your Boston Red Sox Avatar was what made me think you mIGHT be from Boston. :) Yes, I realize there are members of Red Sox Nation all over the country/world!!!!! :) But hopefully you understand my error.

cruisinjudy Posted January 23, 2013 #32 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Sheila, Enjoy your trip in the warmer weather! I don't feel so cold now that I have read all these other responses. We are only in the 20's. And all that frost that has been around since last week did start to melt today. Rain tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I chose to live here is because of the weather, certainly there is no other reason to be here. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted January 23, 2013 #37 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I envy you people getting out of this cold. It is so cold here that when the garbage men emptied my container - there was still a bag of garbage at the bottom - it is frozen stuck there:eek: No sign of this frigid weather breaking until the weekend - for those cruising - enjoy the warm weather - for those of us stuck in the frozen wastelands - stay warm:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it. With our crazy seaside climate it could be raining and balmy in a few days or it could stay like this for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyk47 Posted January 23, 2013 #41 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We're just a couple of months away from our 10th year here after moving from the "frozen north" and threads like this remind me why we jumped at the offer to be relocated back then. Does remind me of the days we used to book Caribbean cruises in January to March to escape the cold. Not such a factor now as after a few days of near freezing weather last week it will be a pleasant 76 degrees here today. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love the beach Posted January 23, 2013 #42 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I am so glad that we're flying out on Thursday for our Sunday cruise on Ryndam. It's 19 degrees here now...and is going to get worse...brrrrrrrrr! This happened to us in '09...it was 18 degrees when we left MA for FLL! :eek: Hope you get out before the snow! Have a great cruise!

innlady1 Posted January 23, 2013 Author #43 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks, Marge. If we can believe the forecast, there's a window of opportunity tomorrow when it's going to be sunny (cold but sunny). It was 9 degrees this morning when my husband got up. :eek: If the forecast changes, we get in the car and drive to Tampa. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF49erfan Posted January 23, 2013 #48 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi All - I am going to be the contrarian here. I sympathize with all who are uncomfortable in cold weather. That is how I feel in hot humid weather. I love winter and dred the summer. I love being chilly and bundling up; our fireplace glowing; snow the whole bit. So it does take all kinds.

Cruising-along Posted January 23, 2013 #49 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I don't envy you who live in the frozen tundra. We lived in north-central MT for awhile and got a little taste of it --- 40 below in the winter ---- at least it never lasted long there though. We're "enjoying" low 30's temperatures here, no snow right now (thank goodness) just lots of fog and frost. That Caribbean cruise coming up in March is sounding very nice. It will probably be up to 40-50 here by then. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVgirl Posted January 23, 2013 #50 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We leave in 16 days for our Caribbean Cruise. It surely can't come soon enough. It's -40C (same as -40F) with the windchill factored in..... Coooold.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
