...but F%$# this weather. a HIGH of -7F tomorrow with a low of -21...then add in 20-30MPH winds. this after getting 5+ more inches of snow this morning. the roads are like some kind of driving test for rescue workers. WTH.

i have had enough and officially hate it here.

The only good thing about the cold today is that with all the school closings, traffic won't be as bad as usual.

true...that is a good thing. :)

120 school closings listed on the local news here. i can't remember ever having a "cold day" growing up. there were snow days, but never ones for cold.

Just curious since I have never experienced your weather living here in Southern CA:
1. how to you guys get to work in this kind of weather?
2. Do most of you have a POS car to drive (if you do drive) during this bad weather?
3. What things are closed during this weather?
4. Your homes - anything special you have to attend to?

1. how to you guys get to work in this kind of weather?

I drive. the cold by itself doesn't matter, but after it snows, the super cold makes salt ineffective and the roads turn into moon craters w/ ice and it's dangerous.

2. Do most of you have a POS car to drive (if you do drive) during this bad weather?

Not anymore. 4Runner for me w/ fulltime 4x4. Previous vehicles had snow tires, but w/ ice it doesn't matter much.

3. What things are closed during this weather?

Schools, many city events, etc.

4. Your homes - anything special you have to attend to?

Frozen water pipes is very common with this cold, as many people do not properly pay attention to outside faucets, basements, etc. they leave for vacation and keep thermostat too low, then get a surprise when they get home
