I'm so with you on this Gayle. Yesterday morning there was ice on the truck. For once, hubby cleared the windsheild for me, but it fogged up while driving out of the neighborhood, so I used the windshield washer fluid to try to clear it which immediately froze while I was driving so I could barely see. I had to put gas in the truck again, so there I was using a credit card to, scrape the ice off the windshield in my sweater, heavy coat, & gloves. My hands got sooooo cold. Warmed up on the commute to work, then yesterday afternoon it was in the high 60's and I got hot in my sweater. Now this morning it's cold again, 35 feels like 29. This afternoon the high is supposed to be 67. Tomorrow, low 36, high 71. Sheesh!!!

Gayle the others may not be sympathetic, but you and I can comiserate over this because we understand. It's that we're so accustomed to being warm and this sudden shift is dramatic for us.

LMAOOO Poor Marilyn.. You want us girls to feel bad for you!!! NOT!!! j/king of course

It is so cold here in the East I would like to have your weather anyday..wanna switch?? lol

Got up this morning to -3 degrees....so cold. The bus never did get warm on the inside so me and the kids about froze. Looking forward to the weekend because temps are suppose to be near 50.....YAY

[Marilyn]

Okay, Okay, guess I can feel sorry for you. -3 is way tooo cold for me. Maybe this is why some of my ancestors moved from Switzerland to Kansas and ended up in Texas. It's 70 deg here on the coast right now, and 72 deg at my house. Really nice today.

You all probably think I am a WUSS! It was 28 last night, the high today is 40.
Had new central heat installed and it has been running all day and can't get above 65 inside.
We have that damp cold, have a sweats and winter house coat and still freezing.

No, I don't think you are nuts at all - a damp cold is just AWFUL! And when you live in the south like we do, we just are not accustomed to the cold. Thus, it seems colder than it would to someone from up north.

That said, your NEW central heat should be able to heat your home above 65 - I think you should have it checked out!!!

Ummm.. gotta do what I here in Michigan, where it has been freezing all winter..
Turn up the thermostat!!! Myself, I prefer it at 70 to 72 degrees...

I don't understand why your central heat isn't warming up better than that, Donna. You probably need to have it looked at. Can you feel the heat coming out of the vents? My uncle had wires turned around on the heat and airconditioning. My aunt complained all winter about how cold it was in the house but nobody realized what was wrong until she turned the airconditioning on and we all about melted. I happened to be there and I've never had such a miserable night!!!

Janet, That's awful cold!!! I'm sure that you and the kids were all miserable on the bus. I know that I would have been. We're suppose to get a lot warmer for the weekend and I'll try to send some your way!!
