And I never thought that 24 degrees Fahrenheit would feel comfortable, but it did last night.<BR/><BR/>Chris-<BR/><BR/>Thanks for watching the cam. I had gobs of trouble last night getting into O'Hare and getting back to Columbus, but I did make it. I just want to add that on my trip, I only boarded one of my scheduled flights, the leg from Columbus to Chicago. This flight was three hours late arriving. I chose bus over plane for the second leg of the trip. Last night, coming back to C-bus, I hopped on an earlier flight which was also delayed, and once I got to Chicago, I boarded yet another "early" flight, which got me back to Columbus a whole hour after I was originally scheduled to land.<BR/><BR/>Erik- It was so dry there that there was no snot in my nose that could have frozen, but I can see that if you had a cold, all the snot would freeze and you would start to have some micro-glacier action going on in your sinuses and nostrils.<BR/><BR/>Lucy- Ok, that is ridiculously cold. I can't even begin to imagine how cold that must feel.<BR/><BR/>Kylee- I talked to a few Madisonians in a very cool used book store and they jokingly told me that everybody complains in Madison about the cold and snow....they said it almost like they were embarrassed to complain but it also gave them a pretty good chuckle. I love Wisconsinites. Very cool people, and I love to listen to them talk.<BR/><BR/>Beth- I've only passed through Ann Arbor and noted that the campus looked very stunning. Some time I will make it back there again!<BR/><BR/>TomTom Arbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919759721690261620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-1645897979164885772008-01-25T21:11:00.000-05:002008-01-25T21:11:00.000-05:00My niece lives in Madison.

The coldest night that year was -56F. So cold that water froze before it hit the ground.

Wait for the -15 and below to hit. That's cold. My first winter up there we had a 2 week stretch where the warm day was -2.<BR/><BR/>One correction, the locals prefer the term "snot freezing cold" to describe the feeling you had in your nose. It's something you don't get to experience very often here in Ohio.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394841842421928795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-8663393650824820002008-01-24T21:12:00.000-05:002008-01-24T21:12:00.000-05:00Come back to freezing cold Ohio soon!Come back to freezing cold Ohio soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
