Extreme cold day????

[James]

Just checked my grades on website and saw a banner that said, SCHOOL CLOSED, EXTREME COLD. All the schools in area are closed. Not just mine Now it really isnt that cold here. They are calling for a high of about 0 F windchills -25. So my question to you guys is have you ever had one? and could someone enlighten me as to why they would do this.

[mack8]

WHOA same here.... my school never gets closed. Except this year it's happened twice now. Ya it's supposed to get to -30 with the wondchill tonight.

[CtLaxin]

We have no school tommorow anyway but i doubt that we would get a cold day. Two years ago, almost every school in connecticut had the day off because of a cold day (it was like -20 with the windchill) and we still had school. It sucked because at my school you have to walk from building to building outside and after every class you go outside.

[lax player109]

we had one a couple years ago. but they only gave us a day off because the heater broke.

It's for people that have to wait for buses.

[kevidinho]

All of the schools are closed around me, too. I'm guessing it's because of the 'extreme' cold. It's -17° according to weather.com right now. I personally don't think we should have had school closed, but I'm not complaining. There's hardly any snow, too. They didn't give us a reason on the website, but I'm guessing it's just because of the cold.

[LinkPlaysLax]

my school isn't closed, we just have a 2 hour delay. we have an open campus, so its cold walking around class to class. we've got a high of 9

Edit: We got closed.

[jk20jk20]

dude right now where i live, chicago, tomorrow it is supposed to be wind chills of -35 degrees and right now its -10 degress with a windchill of -25 but i dont even know if school is closed!!!!i hope it is...james where are you from
edit...yeah they close school for people that wait for buses, and kids that have to walk to school...its so not safe here in chicago they would be crazy not to close school

Same. I live like an hour from you.

[Mavido]

We've had days off because of heat, but not cold.

And we've had practice/games cancled because of heat aswell.

[Pitibear]

Man, I remember high school days in Houghton, Mi, where the high was -5...all you guys in MI, MN, NY that get "lake effect cold," my hearth goes out to you...that's abuot all the warmth I can generate over the internet...

[ramslac05]

yeah im in Michigan and apparently we have a snow day tomorrow, probably due to the fact that you basically cant drive, and our high is a solid 0 and i dont know what it is with the wind chill, but id say its pretty cold

and lake effect snow.....praise Jesus
IM GOIN SLEDDING!!!!!!!!

Lake effect cold, I was under impression the lake ( lake michigan) was only reason it isnt -20 here. Wind blows over lake, 34 degree water warms air. Air is slightly less cold.

[GoBucks]

I found out earlier today that we don't have school tomorrow due to the cold. Like what Riot said, it's for the people that have to wait for the buses. If it's a certain temperature below zero, school systems will close schools because people can die in weather like that. We have a high of 9 tomorrow with high winds.

[JLax3]

yeah my school got closed today because of the cold!

[HCrum05]

Yeah, I live in South Carolina....sooo unless the ice caps melt and we get the whole Day After Tomorrow Scenario, then I don't think this will be an issue.

[swish7209]

got one today its so good :nut:

[laxman720]

got one today its so good :nut:
Hey I live in syracuse too. More specifically manlius but I am so happy we got a cold day today!!!!

[scruffy221]

Soooo, now I guess we can start an argument for GLOBAL FREEZING?

[Riot]

Haha, school's closed.

[eaweb824]

MY SCHOOL IS CLOSED TODAY!!!!!! it said the same thing, EXTREME COLD, where do you live James, Riot, and company?

[CSlax06]

Finally, a snow day for me, maybe I can go out riding now...to bad its -32 windchill.

[dillz18]

I don't have school today either. It's negative 25 with wind chill today. They close schools because kids at bus stops or kids that have to walk to school.

BTW- CNY here. Right by the lake, YAY! :crazy:

[meestagoaliemon]

Same. I live like an hour from you.

Same. I live about twenty minutes from Bethel.

No, but Chartiers Valley got school cancelation.

[RockfordAttack9]

My school is closed, due to the Cold (-2 right now, windchill is -20) and the crappy road conditions.

[marflax33]

Hmm. Not sure whats up with that. Never had a "Extreme Cold Day" in my life, and it definitely gets down to -25 every now and then through wind chill.

[northshorelax3]

i dont have school. -35 wind chill here

[ekajsk8er]

Today is our first snow day this year because of "extreme cold". I'm not complaining, because I got home kinda late last night and I could sleep today, but I would much rather have it be crazy lake effect snow like what happened on Christmas a couple years ago for those in NY.

[laxstargt]

today our school is closed to. Its like -20 with the windchill

Crazy lake effect is the best. I love it! Us michiganders dont get it like those folks in buffalo and other spots close to erie/ontario. Most we have gotten in about 32 in 28 hours.

Up at my cabin we got, 72 inches in 6 days but it compacted fast so it was only about 4 feet high.. The railingswere under alot of snow. Lake effect is a beautiful thing

[dlax13]

we got closed today...the city is cold but bearly any snow....the suburds are in like 4 feet of snow tho

[ghs/wylax]

Two weeks ago kids were complaining we weren't getting snow and global warming was taking over the world... Now according to weather.com it is currently 15 degrees and the added wind chill makes it feel like -1 degrees.

[Pitibear]

I don't have the correct meteorlogical knowledge, but global warming is why there may be enhanced coldness occurences...

Global warming causes both extreme heat and cold conditions when climatic changes occur in the proper sequences. :hot: :OMG:

As a skier, I know all about global warming. You are correct. If we constinue on the current path we will get extreme cold insane storms and extreme hot

[Live4It]

I'm Central New York too, so as a the rest of CNY I also have a snow day, WOOT!!! The wind chill around here is like -20.

[TigerMiddie08]

We have a cold day in ohio.

[osulax]

i have one today too. it's my first one in high school and i'm a senior and it's not like it's uncommon for us to get bad whether because i live in ohio. our school district's really dumb and last year they should of called a snowday at least twice but didn't and some kids got in to wrecks but nothing serious happened which is good for the district because you better believe there would of been law suits all over that.

also another reason for closing school because of cold is because sometimes the buses won't start because of it.

[GoBucks]

O man, guess what I just found out. No school today, and we don't have school tomorrow either. How bout that? Does anyone else not have school tomorrow?

[swish7209]

how do you know if you'll have it or not tomarrow god i hope i dont

[faceofflax15]

Good thing every school in my district, and the two districts surrounding had the day off except my school.
What fun.

[laxman359]

its like that every morning here, why cant i get a day off for extreme cold :hot:

[rizzini]

yea ive had school cancelled for extreme cold before. its because of the people who have to walk to school or take busses.

[MaKiMaKi13]

yea so it doesnt get -25 down here in MD its like 21 here with some crucial wind, i wish i had an extreme cold day wouldve saved senior skip day for warmer climate

[pole15]

Windchill around -10... it's really not all that bad if you wear a few layers.

[duck]

wow. I'm in Texas, where anything under 40 is considered cold. And yeah, the global warming influences oceanic tides, causing massive changes in the flow of moisture and leading to extreme periods of dry, cold weather in N.A.

[centenniallax81]

we had school today and it was like -6 and a wind chill of like -26. it was garbage, we shouldnt have had school, but we always do, even if we had like 2 feet of snow there would be school.

[ReLaxin 13]

-20 with windchill? The High Temp yesterday was -4. It was -20 this morning without windchill.

[Riot]

Are there School Closings tomorrow? Yes-All

Alright, no school tomorrow.

[jhopkinslx4]

:chuckle: we NEVER get "cold days" I live in NY and it gets to -5 without adding the windchill. i wish we did. Us NYers are just to tough i guess :chuckle:

[CSlax06]

Sucks to be you, I had a snow day, haha.

4 1/2 feet of snow total.

Pics soon.

[shakerlax222225]

we had a "cold day" today and we are having another tomorrow! and the school district i go to hanst had a snow day for 5 years!

[laxattack11]

it was 2 degrees (-16 with the wind chill) when i left to walk just under a mile to school this morning... i was not happy. today in my district there were 256 absences and 12 buses broke down and many got stuck. but no, we havent had a day off in 4 years, so why start now? everyone insists we wont have school tomorrow but... we will... as always.

[toey2516]

word, it was like 10 here and I wish we had the day off cuz it is kinda a long walk to school.

[Pitibear]

I read in a website that my high school hometown, Houghton, Michigan, back in the winter of '77-'78 had about 380 inches of snow (normal is about 180")...the whole town just shut down for about 3 months...can you imagine, that would be totally...weird...


oh, geez...Post Number 666...

oh, yeah...locally in El Paso, it was 61 degrees today...

[osulax]

wow. I'm in Texas, where anything under 40 is considered cold. And yeah, the global warming influences oceanic tides, causing massive changes in the flow of moisture and leading to extreme periods of dry, cold weather in N.A.

sure it does. just cause it's 60 in texas dosn't mean it's a direct reflection of global warming. it's texas, it's not supposed to snow or be below 40.

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

Over the next 3 days, it will be around -20°C <-> -30°C. They will still continue with school though.

[jacklax95]

i have had today and will have tomm off

[XxlacrossexX]

40 F right now. I want no school *crys in corner*

[JLax3]

I live in NY and we got a cold day yesterday and today!

[WillemD]

yea i live in MI and we got school off again today cuz of the temperature

[RIT37FO]

didnt stop us from a 5am practice this morn

[Live4It]

Mot because of cold but we have our 2nd consecutive snow day, woot...and we are in a "snow emergancy".

[James]

I did the coolest thing ever today. I boiled water, then threw it outside high in the air. It turned to snow before it hit the ground. My mom said that boiling water freezes faster then cold water. weird. it was so cool. You all should try it

[laxattack11]

well i take that back... it was 11 degrees this morning with a windchill of around 0 and school got canceled at 9:30 last night.

I don't know, I'da saved that one for when somebody started a "weird fact" thread...
Dude, that is very cool. But its 67 degrees here today, looks like it'll be while before I get to try it, like if ever...

[James]

I wonder if I will have one tommorow. I doubt it.

What happened was that it steamed very fast and then froze instantly. Making very fine snow. Thats why hot water works better.

[syracuselax3]

Idk why they do it but today was my 3rd "cold day" in a row. the temps dropped too so maybe no school tomorrow either.

[hitmenrule]

I live in northern Alberta. My school doesn't even consider closing unless it is -40C without the windchill.
