It was about 7 years ago, it was as cold or colder in N. Worcester county.

There was a far colder stretch about 6 years ago maybe. Over 40 days below freezing on the coast. The houses would bang at night from the wood getting so cold.

I remember in High school so probably like 2006 or 2007 they canceled school because the buses wouldn’t start. I think it was negative 42 with the wind chill but I could be wrong

Downstairs isn’t going above 58 with our heating system on (gas heat). I have oil-filled radiator space heaters for days like this. They produce a good amount of heat and really help make things bearable. Hopefully the power stays on.

Reply to Mass ranked loneliest state not sure if I should feel glad since I'm not alone or sad since its a standoffish state: by Linkx16
I remember one time a kid was randomly talking to me on the green line randomly. BU student from Virginia. He was talking about how people are so unfriendly here. The entire time I’m thinking, “dude why are you talking to me rn”

I’m assuming they mean is the business not ran/owned by republicans. When it’s 10 below 0, heat is heat…

I think it was 2004. This is the coldest temp since then.

I think 40 is still giving a lot of grace time. I'd say mid 20s. Until you're nearing retirement. If you can collect benefits at 65 1/2, then you can start with the half years at 63 1/2, but only in the context of retirement, or other things where 65 1/2 is relevant. Otherwise you're wasting precious moments, heartbeats, and breaths on unnecessary nonsense.

Where are all those people from a week ago saying how much they missed the cold?

Is your pilot light on?
I might call the fire department for some help, they might come over. MHL is open as a warming center and you could walk over and talk to the fd next door.

Yeah this cold snap really just proved that climate change is a 100% hoax. Just ignore all the days we had in the 50s this january

Reply to Woburn teacher strike by my_couch360
As someone who was considering buying a house and starting a family in Woburn, this makes me reconsider. You get better teachers with better pay. Good teachers are going to leave to a better respected district.

I am pretty old and I dont think I have ever seen -23 in New England personally, and that includes several years in Maine. Did experience -34 in St Paul though.

You know it’s cold out when you go out and it’s cold.

Reply to What Are Your Opinions On UMass Boston And Bunker Hill Community College for CS? by MussleGeeYem
UML has a stronger CS program than UMB.
BHCC is a community college, so it’s different from a 4-year school like UMB. It’s still a great option because it’s affordable and it has MassTransfer which allows for a more streamlined process to transfer from BHCC to any 4-year state institution.
