It helps that I have a little more body fat between me and the elements.
-14 at the old homestead this morning. Both Toyotas fired up without even a hiccup.
Just think how warm tomorrow's high of +8 is going to feel. By the time it hits +32, there'll be people dancing around their yards nekkid, it'll feel so warm.
It's all a matter of perspective. I lost the lacquer finish on my 1980 MusicMan StingRay to the -26 / -80 windchill weather of January, 1982. So in my mind, this ain't so bad.
Beeyul - I enjoyed them, too. But I can assure you, I had nothing to do with them. We usually come up with some pretty funny commercials.

Your cars may have started but mine won't. The cold has also knocked out the phones at work, so I had to email my boss to let her know that the car still isn't starting.
I did pop open the hood and am letting the sun shine down on the black insides to maybe absorb some heat that way. It's worth a shot anyway.

It is your schools fault Teresa. All the schools in the region closed including Madison public schools which never close. Why the colleges didn't close will remain a mystery. I would boycott classes today.

I don't know, Karla - there are still a number of school districts open in the greater MKE area, my son's included.
I can see little kids (the ones who are too young to recognize the signs of frostbite) staying home from school, but older kids and adults know how to dress against the elements. They should also be wise enough to know that you don't stay out in this for very long or you risk getting hurt.
I'm with you on this: if the walk to class is long and you don't have adequate clothing to counter it, stay home. No big whoop. Hell, I stayed home for several weeks in 1980 in support of the Teaching Assistants' strike - weather had nothing to do with it. I made it out of college with honors. One or two days is not a big deal.

I have been working on my car in the drivway for the last 3 days replacing the front struts. Hi wind today with temps around 5 deg. It is a game of how fast can you get nuts and bolts on before your hands freeze. Gloves are useless when wrenching. I'd give my right nut for a nice heated garage
Anybody that likes this weather is crazy!

I was too....but that's because I didn't leave my house! Oh, and I'm not the type to miss class because of some cold. We had a blizzard last year, classes didn't get cancelled for the UW (pretty much the ONLY thing left open in Wisconsin at that point) and I still went to class. Gotta go to class to become edumacated!

Now, now Jeff. We don't want to seem uncaring to the people who choose to live in the frozen tundra. Actually it was 73 degrees here yesterday and I'll bet you had to put on at least.... a long sleeved t-shirt.
Now to Wisconsin-ites...question?
How will this affect cheese production?

Good question Jeff. Why don't you try touching the tip of your tongue to one and find out
Speaking of cold cows, anyone heard from Potter lately?

Those of us in the know know those aren't called nipples.
They're teats. And I suppose they do get a little hard.
I wonder if the bull's huevos/cojones get sucked up into his throat when it's this cold, as if he had been swimming?

We should actually be asking you, Linda. California has surpassed Wisconsin in milk production (well, in quantity, not quality).
Cows have to be milked twice a day every day. That's why dairy farming sucks so bad (ooo, poor choice of words) - no vacations at all.
