I'm just North of Boston and man is it cold. I wanted to die at 6am when I was out walking my dog this morning. A few towns are closed or delayed start. We have 60 kids out of 220 out today!!

I don't know how you guys do it. I really don't like the cold. We have some hot summer days here in Texas and I will take those over any cold day :)

Its been below zero here this last week. I had a kinder take out his die cast toy car and then decide to lick it. Yep - Road rash on the tip of his tongue.

I'm in Minnesota and Snowmageddon 2016 is predicted to start this afternoon. By Sunday it will be -35 degrees with 9 to 12 inches of new snow. Good thing it's our annual Christmas Cookiepalooza baking weekend! We'll stay inside all cozy and warm and stuff ourselves silly with cookies!

My son stuck his tongue to a gate at the babysitter's house a couple years ago.... He was not a happy boy. I think he was 5 or 6.

Come to MD! It was a TOASTY 16 degrees when I left this morning. With a nifty RealFeel of 8. I was ready to bust out my bikini.

Kill me. Tomatoes don't do well in the cold and I am no exception.

It's funny how it's all relative. I'm in MA too, and it was 3 degrees when I got to the parking lot. However, back during the "snowpocalyspe" of two years ago, I recall some minus 15 degree starts to the day. Compared to that, this morning was doable.

At least it's supposed to skyrocket to 18 by afternoon. (And close to 50 on Sunday...)
