| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 2:38:59 PM | So, it's frigid outside. What do you folks like to do to stay warm??????
I like to slip under my blankey and sip on some tea while reading a book or watching a movie. Of course, this is when I am alone. I prefer snuggling under a blankie with an attractive belle (Anyone have an extra blankie and some room on their sofa???) | |

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 2:49:55 PM | You're cold? I was going to work in -40°C this morning and you're complaining of the cold?
Yes, I am amused...
I'm snuggled up all comfy-cozy in my flannel jammies and sipping on a cappucino... I think I'll switch to cider shortly or I'll never get to sleep tonite... | |

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 2:53:57 PM | It's Freaking Freezing heeeere tttooo! Can't seem to get my house warm...now might be good time for jumping jacks!
I'm pondering the cost of my utility bill!
Here's wishing you all a warm fishy to snuggle up to!  | |

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 3:15:04 PM | | Fleece and slippers. My best friends in the winter. Snuggling in my bed watching a movie or on the couch under a blanket with a book. Not too much other than work can entice me to go outside in this cold. | |
|
| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 3:26:23 PM | Brrrrrrr, hope it gets warmer soon.
Later I curled up with a furry pup and two blankets. Cat curled up at my feet. Watching a movie. Eskimo kisses what fun.

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 3:32:33 PM | i'm a furnace....it's -17 outside, upstairs the therm is at 72, much cooler in the lower level...gas fireplace hasn't even been turned on this season...and i'm in boxer briefs, slippers and an undershirt......can't even sleep with blankets , all this after spending 7 weeks in Parry Sound....I swear there was not a day without precipitation and only 2 days above zero | |

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 3:41:42 PM | Dinner will consist of a large hot bowl of soup. Later on, a cup of hot chocolate with a few drops of Bailey's Irish Cream. Combine that with a comforter for a good night's sleep.
A few years ago I was working in North Bay and the temperature was -40 for most of the day. The local radio station said they wouldn't tell us if the temperature was any colder as that was cold enough. When I was heading back to Toronto, my car didn't warm up until about Huntsville. | |

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 3:46:53 PM | Cold is a state of mind. I go outside and run the dog to stay warm.
This afternoon's run was 6 km through Rockwood's conservation area bush trails. Between lots of elevation changes and even a bit of rock face climbing, it wasn't too hard to forget about the cold. Besides, the cold actual helps - it scares off those pesky mosquitoes and black flies.
Tomorrow's afternoon's run will probably be the badlands and rail trail near Cheltenham. So, you can take shelter and hide from winter, but I'm going outside and meet winter's best challenges head-on!

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 3:54:13 PM | I'm thinkin' Global warming - yeah right!!
I like to get my jammies on - snuggle under my comforter - sit cross legged on my bed - watch TV and play on the computer! | |
|
| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 4:29:33 PM | | We were out on the snowmobiles at work this morning. -40 is cold but it's even colder when you get moving in the open air. A couple of us ended up with some cold injuries actually. But hey, it's fun and we always know sooner or later we will be somewhere warm. I say get out and enjoy it! | |

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 5:50:02 PM | Socks, slippers and a cat on my lap keeps me warm. She's my portable furnace :)
I'm a coach for a running clinic and Wednesday evenings are practice run for our group. Although the temps are frigid (but less than yesterday!) we had a good group showing up tonight. Then my running buddy and I went for a 5k run as part of our training.
Nothing like a good run to keep you warm. I'm back home now, icing my tender ankle but feeling a lot better than I did this afternoon. I must say I really like winter running  | |

Cold is a state of mind[quote/]
That is amazing--I haven't heard other people say that before! I though it was a family thing!
Not that I have any intention of going outside--my mind has accepted the cold state- and I am going to light a bunch of candles, pile on the blankets and read something to warm up my brain! | |

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 6:31:43 PM | | I go ice fishing even in the most frigid weather. I'm hoping to get out one day this weekend, regardless of if it is -30. The walk out is great excersize, drilling holes with a manual auger is hard work too. That and catching fish is fun!!! Does it get cold? Heck yes!!! Need boot andglove warmers and even with that I need to get home and soak in a hot tub for an hour to get the chill out. I'm a masochist I suppose lol. | |
|
| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 6:37:16 PM | I'm with Leeanne on this one. Can I vote for global warming (just kidding I think) hibernation until spring sounds good about now. | |
|
| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 6:50:59 PM | I love to get in a fuzzy robe, grab a towel, go out to the back yard, and have a long soak in 104 degree water!
Woo Hoo Hot Tub weather!! | |
|
| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/14/2009 7:15:37 PM | Okay, I get the hot tub idea, nice and warm and relaxing. It's the outside, and the trip to and from that doesn't sound like too much fun. Hmmmmm. (scratches her head).
I think I prefer the hot tub indoors, with lots of candles for effect. And of course someone to share it with preferably.  | |

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/15/2009 4:12:19 AM | | Hmmmm. Canada. Winter. Cold. I thought they all went together! I get the ice fishing bit. I'm an every weekend ice guy myself. However when it gets to -25 and colder, I think it's time to stay inside! But you're right. It is fricking freezing! | |

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/15/2009 5:29:43 AM | when my fingers want to stick to the metal door frame as i'm pushing it shut, i know it's just Tooooo cold!

| It's Freaking Freezing out there!!! Posted: 1/15/2009 12:32:13 PM | | Well Ive never been to California and some friends have invited me to come down for a visit. I hear its the hottest part of North America at the moment in the 80s Fahrenheit or as high as 30 Celsius! Very tempting! I just need to update my passport first lol | |
