Georgiana Daniels Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 28 degrees here and I'm FREEZING. Not exactly the picture everyone has of AZ ;) Unfortunately, the apartment is so poorly insulated I can't get warm anywhere. In fact, I can see the curtains ruffling from the breeze coming through the closed door. Thankfully we're moving soon, or I'd have to put up plastic over the windows or something. For the moment, I just. can't. get. warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbeym Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Here at my office in Houston, it's 39*F with the windchill and rain. It's actually a little chillier at home, which is unusual since we're near the water and usually it's warmer there than here in town. I'm just thankful we have NO freezing temps forcasted right now.

Luanne Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It's about 30 here right now. I am in northern Colorado. With the breeze though, it is very chilly. And this is the warmest day we have had in about a week. Yesterday it was less than 20 and was only about 10 the day before that. It got down to 4 last night and we are expecting the same tonight.

Melissa in Australia Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 summer here. Today is meant to get to about 35 oC. tomorrow is going to be hot, 41oC which I believe is close to 106 F heat wave in many parts of Australia http://au.news.yahoo.com/vic/latest/a/-/latest/15753561/week-long-heatwave-to-hit-australia/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elinor Everywhere Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The mornings have been around 40, the daytime high around 55. That's cold for here (desert) - I prefer around 65-70. I hear it's going to be 65 by this weekend - I'm ready! We spend most of our days on our outdoor furniture, and although we have heat lamps and a fire pit, it's just not the same. All our company from the midwest & Buffalo seems to have enjoyed it, though! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristusG Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yesterday it was high 70's....the kids were playing outside in shorts and short sleeves. I had the windows open. Today the high is 54... And that's this morning. It will be dropping into the 40's. Downright chilly for us Florida people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 It's down 3 degrees this morning from yesterday morning. Now it's 16F, in lovely NE Ohio. I want to move to Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HejKatt Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 28 degrees here and I'm FREEZING. Not exactly the picture everyone has of AZ ;) Unfortunately, the apartment is so poorly insulated I can't get warm anywhere. In fact, I can see the curtains ruffling from the breeze coming through the closed door. Yikes! Our visiting friend from AZ found CA cold, and that's when the temp was 60F. But you brought up a good point about insulation. Many of the houses here (Bay Area, CA) were built for moderate climates, and the insulation is poor. So that's why we complain even though our temperatures are a good 20+ F higher than other parts of the US. :) Also, by mid-day, it's warmer outside the house than inside the house.

TranquilMind Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm in North East PA and it's 7* right now. I had planned on a walk this morning, but changed my mind. Where are you and what's the temperature? About 18. Not cold, but the kids are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 It was -17*F here last night. My furnace couldn't keep up, and it was 55* in the house when I woke up. I brought the kids out for their ski lesson; the high was 19*F. We got home this evening and the house had only warmed up to 60*. Blech. I just turned on the backup oil furnace to get the temperature back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 71*F and sunny here in SoCal. I had to turn the a/c on in the truck today! I was baking in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in Australia Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I am hot hot hot. And I was in one of the cooler parts of the state. It topped 41 C today here that is close to 106 F Some places in the next state were 47 C that is nearly 117 F. Let me tell you that in Aus anything over 40 C is considered hot by everyone. It is like stepping into a furnace, extremely dry and intensely hot, everything outside gets very crispy. We have had no electricity of most of the day, and now only have one phase. Fortunately we don't have any fires near us, but some people in other states have not been so fortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
