So hell is literally freezing over.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

My apartment is so. cold. right. now.

Posted: 1/15/09 at 11:03pmSounds like my school. It's balls cold in one room, but walk across the hall and it's sweltering.

I DO have control over my thermostat, and I try to conserve more each month and the bills just keep climbing!
It's so cold that when I go outside my nose feels like it fills with snot the second I hit the air.

Posted: 1/15/09 at 11:57pmIt may be the coldest day I can ever remember (I've lived a short life compared to some on here), but the moon is absolutely gorgeous rising outside my window.

Posted: 1/16/09 at 9:14amIt is -15 right now and there's nothing like the feeling of your nosehairs freezing first thing in the morning.

Posted: 1/16/09 at 10:13amAnd yet people are walking around this morning with no hats or gloves, and their coats open. Crazies.

Posted: 1/16/09 at 10:15amI have been here 24 years and I do not recall a colder day. My thermomenter read -15 when we left the house this morning. I only waited 5 minutes for the L!

Posted: 1/16/09 at 10:17amIt's so cold that my head hurts when I'm outside. I HATE CHICAGO IN THE WINTER!

Posted: 1/16/09 at 11:17amDoes anyone else have frost on the inside of their windows? lol there is a thin covering of white all over ours, which I've never seen happen before. Crazy. At least if/when it warms back up to the 20's it will feel like the temp is in the 30's/40's! :)

I highly recommend fleece sheets for those of you with cold rooms. I used to have to sleep in a hooded sweatshirt or a hat because my bedroom is ALWAYS cold (and like others, I try to keep the thermostat low to save $). I got the sheets at TJMaxx in early December and have been cozy ever since.
There's no help when I have to go walk my dog though. Even she didn't want to be out very long last night.
Stay warm fellow Chicagoans...

Posted: 1/16/09 at 12:34pmOur bedrooms are on the second floor and because the furnace is cranking away - the top floor is actually warm and the basement about 50 degrees.

I hate living in Chicago.
I had the day off anyways, though.

Posted: 1/16/09 at 1:26pmOh, how I wish I had central heating instead of these radiators. Benny and I slept in the living room last night because my husband was snoring too loudly. I was so cold, I slept in flannel pants, a long sleeve shirt, and two pairs of socks. And I was still cold! And yet, my bedroom is so warm that I can barely stand a tank top and shorts. Something has gone awry here.

Posted: 1/16/09 at 2:36pmI just walked back from class and I have expected to look in the mirror when I got back and see that my nose and ears had fallen off.

Every school in the area was closed due to the cold yesterday- except ours. Must have been to make up for that one blizzard that never hit back in December- we took off school for that and it wasn't even snowing when I woke up the morning of.
I've got flannel sheets, three fleece blankets, and a quilt on my bed. And a full-size electric blanket nestled in between. That blanket turned out to be the best Christmas present ever! I turn it on ten minutes before bed and the sheets thaw and I can feel my feet when I wake up.
