On the news they showed the temps in the northeast and said its the coldest temps in years. Is that true or is it BS? They gave it some fancy name too, like they do now. Guess I thought it got colder there.
Its been cold for a week here but is warming up tomorrow for a long spell, I hope. -15 this morning but up to 30 above tomorrow sometime.

+11* here, but it's the 20+ mph wind that's brutal.....TV keeps harping on wind chill temp...they label it as "feel-like" temp...forecasting 'minus' 10* overnight, with 20+ wind, and +40* beginning of week!!!!........reminds me of Minot.

Yep, the windchill. Thats way more important than temp where I live on the flats. theres usually at least a 15MPH breeze here except by trees. Sounds like a short lived cold spell in the east. Its been an easy winter for most if not all of us so far.

-2 here this morning.
I've been keeping record of daily temps since installing a S-130 in the summer of 2009.
2013-14 and 2014-15 heating seasons have been my coldest heating seasons with 14 to 15 days at zero or below.
The colder the temps the happier my boiler is, so it's been in a state of depression most of the time this winter.

-1 here in coal country... The wind finally let up early this morning. We had just over 15 hours of runtime from yesterday at 6 AM to this morning at 6. That would be about 105 lbs. With no wind we would have normally burned right at 80 pounds. That wind was brutal...
