It's February

It's weird to have had such a cold day in a very warm winter overall

It's so cold cause it's winter

It's so cold cause it's January

Maybe in a single day. I remember years ago (I was either in high school or college) there was a winter where temperatures were regularly a little warmer than this. Weeks of it.

For sure yea it's weird some towns are 10 degrees colder than others

Or the opposite of takeout. Bake something that takes a while so the oven heats the kitchen.

Not here on the Upper Cape. The coldest I saw last night was 0°F (wasn't paying too much attention tho, maybe it got a bit colder). I think it was 5-6 years ago we hit -10°F at least once and had more cold days overall.

-23 is crazy though! I'm always amazed how different it can be in other parts of Mass.

yea for sure

exactly. right now there is such a shortage of teachers, people can move around to other districts that pay better, etc. I've been teaching for a good amount of time and I have never seen the turn over I am seeing right now. veteran teachers leaving for better districts, young teachers quitting mid year leaving the profession completely and so forth.

as for the paras, their pay is a joke. we have had one para positions for a few years. the pay they get is just horrible. sadly a lot of the open para positions are in sped rooms, so some of our neediest kids aren't getting what they need.

Yes, by far. With the wind yesterday I was wincing in pain just being outdoors. I've never experienced cold like that here before.

Wheeeeeeee!!

Yup I remember working in Kendall square that winter and the Charles was frozen. I would much rather have one short ultra cold snap than weeks of sub 20 with single digit windchills

Right here 🙋‍♀️ and not complaining about the cold! Lol. Just triple layered for my hike this morning and wishing for snow.

Good news!

Nah. The Pats coming back from 28-3 was cold. Way colder.

Oh ok

My phone said neg. 23 but thermometers are inconsistent,I think my latop said neg 17

Have you called the folks who deliver the oil? Don’t most of them also service the burners? They’d at least have an emergency operator who could presumably refer you to their recommended repair company

So it's 3 degrees colder than what you remember. Obviously it's dangerously cold and the windchill would be record's I'm sure if we kept track of them. But it's not all that uncommon and it definitely does get overblown (the air temp, not windchill)

Wow crazy

it was so cold Satan ice-skated to work

Negatives yes but usually between 6-9 below I think before today -12 is the lowest I saw

Look at the historical weather Temps. Negatives in Massachusetts are relatively common for a day or two every winter

Yep, I remember that. They needed to extend the school year to make up for all of the snow days plus the cold day.
