Some pretty cold temps in store for a lot of the US over the next few days. In my area on Tuesday, the low is going to be around -15F with wind chills expected to dip well below into -30F to -40F.

Pretty darn cold if you ask me!

I'm loving the snow. Last year was the first time I've ever seen snow so it's still magical to me. :D I'm torn between my love of the weather in Colorado and my love of my house in Florida. :(

Kansas City. Was flying and landed in this snow storm earlier. Tomorrow's high is 9F and Low is like -9. For you aviation peeps, landed at KIXD in a Cessna 441 Conquest and managed to squeeze in on a Rough ILS Approach. Im about tired of it :(

Didn't you use to live near Tampa near me?

I lived right across the bay over in Pinellas Park near St. Petersburg, I relocated out here in Colorado for my day job last April.

Is snow so uncommon in the US? Are you even using winter tires?
I lived in Florida for the first 28 years of my life so I never got to see snow before. It's my understanding that in most of the other states they experience snow at some point during the year.

I've been here for almost a year and my ears still pop on my commute to and from work. I went camping in the mountains and got altitude sickness last month which sucked. I guess that's what happens when you live 10-20ft above sea level for 99% of your life. :(

I love blizzards... getting caught in one in the mountains with low cloud and everything white all around is kinda scary but all you need is to go prepared.

I can live for days until the weather clears, these days equipment is light, cheap and does the job great !

As the norse people say, there is no bad or cold weather, there is only bad equipment (clothes).

In 30 Kg you can pack a tent, provisions for a couple of days 2 people at least, basic cooking equipment, sleeping bags, now there are those that can be zipped together to make a biger one for 2, you have your mobile phone and battery pack for emergencies and GPS, good clothes and changes in case you get wet, all you need is to find a place after some big rock or in a valley with less wind and you can survive there for a long time, even at minus 20 Celsius. Lower than that it becomes risky, and it is not rare that goes, but I only go in february/march/april when the blizzards are most beautiful and the cold is not so deep.

Hearing the wind howling and the trees craching, the snow hitting the tent, that is magic to me.

Sadly, this year didnt have much snow hopefully will have from february onwards.

There has been a couple of storms/blizzards in NY. Snow is amazing while you're indoors  :p

I miss both Florida and my soul of a state, Texas, but only this time of the year :)  

I've often wondered why humans today are so stupid as to not migrate in the winter.   Spare me the entire economic thing :)   As the Northeast and other freezer sections continue to be challenged by population losses.

I am with some of you with the -15F true temperature.  People have already died from this extended cold snap.   Talking about record setting cold for many.  The whole thing dips mighty far south - or is projected to.
