How the weather in the rest of STACland?

[Chris]

I just got back from my fourth "mini-walk" of the workday, and it has gotten so cold and windy outside. We were even having light snow flurries, earlier. I've got to remember to start bringing my gloves. A 10 minute walk seems to take about an hour when your hands are getting numb!

I just tried to remind myself, as I was walking, that the human body uses most of the calories that it burns just to maintain its temperature. So, I tell myself, a walk in the cold burns more calories than a walk during the summer! (Probably not true, but sounds like a good excuse for doing this to myself!)

So, how is it in your corner?

lol I was thinking the same thing just the other day! Gloves came out that evening.

It is chilly here. 28 degrees ................. just 2 days ago it was in the mid 50's. I would almost rather it stayed cold than bouncing between warm and cold. Snow showers on the way and a storm expected Monday night that promises to leave several inches of the white stuff.

Brr, we had a cold front come through also. Down to 60 in the night! Whoooo. Sorry, you asked!

I simply cannot believe that it's December and it's about 70 degrees outside, or wamer. I could go out wearing shorts, it's sooooooo not right.

I agree with you Chris, but also, do you find yourself walking faster when it's cold? I'd be racing to get it over and get back to the warm inside!

high should be around 45 here today, hopefully a sprinkling of snow instead of rain tonight!- BUT, melting tomorrow would be awesome!

I know your summers are absolutely horrid with the humidity. I wouldnt trade my weather up here for anything down there! I was in Mississippi a few years ago in September and it was hot enough for me then to miss Maine! Forget the middle of summer!
