Gonna be a cold week here in Chicago

Brrr!
It is so true that cold is relative. If it gets down to the 60's in Thailand, people get out their winter jackets!
-
No snow but plenty cold…
-
Low of 7F today and tomorrow. 3-4 with wind chill.
It’ll be mid-next week before we see temperatures north of freezing, if even just for an hour or so in the afternoon.
-
Snow yesterday, 7 degrees on the morning drive today. They still drove like Massholes.

Proud of the little guy, today he had to have walked 2-3 miles in the 10-15 degree temps. Of course, it was broken up every half mile with a stop at the Lego store, then FAO Schwarz, then the M&M’s store, then Hershey’s…

With a stop for M&M’s at Saks, then Macy’s, then Anthropologie…
Dad did get to stop at Sean’s Irish Pub for lunch…

When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Hell, in fact, freezing over.

Temperature is -1 F right now. Tuesday being pizza night for us (It's BOGO Tuesday), I went downstairs to place my order. I walked down the stairs and out. 10 feet to the take-out counter of the restaurant. I was wearing a sweater.
Other people waiting for pizza looked at me like I was crazy for being so lightly-dressed, unaware that I live, literally, upstairs. I was outdoors for about 10 seconds.
But yeah, it's colder than a kiss from my first wife (RIP).

It was about 8 outside with a -5 wind chill when I ran this evening. It wasn't bad. I've run in worse.
To a certain point, once we're moving things are fine. When it's so cold my glasses keep frosting up to the point I can't see....then it's time to re-think.

We had one pipe (supplying water to the basement wetbar sink) freeze that hasn't frozen before. I can't see through walls of course but am fairly confident it runs along the exterior wall for about 10 feet and that potentially is where it froze... the inside of the wall was 75 degrees, the outside of that wall was -30. We've had cold snaps before, but lesson learned that if it's -30 for like two or three days, I should leave the sink on a drip. I was able to warm up that section of the wall over the last 24 hours and the water came back on, luckily with no burst pipes evident.
