THESE 20 U.S. CITIES ARE ALLOWED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COLD

If you wonder why some of us don't feel a lot of sympathy hearing about how "cold" you have it when it reaches 30F, it's because what's cold to you is heavenly for us.
 
Yes, it is cold enough out there for us. It doesn’t even matter where there is — if you live in the United States right now, it’s probably Polar-vortex-level freezing. But thanks to the Weather Channel’s list of the 20 coldest big cities in America, you know exactly where you stand as far as wind chill-induced misery goes. Is it colder in your city than where your friends live? Colder than Boston? Colder than — gasp — Chicago?
 
TWC used average 30-year temperatures for December, January, and February to determine not which city has the most extreme cold or snow but the most persistent chill during core winter months. The results — based on data from the National Climatic Data Center — may surprise you (for instance, I don’t generally tend to think Colorado or Missouri when I think of frostbite). Of the 100 most populous U.S. cities, the most consistently cold locales are:
 
1. Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota

2. Anchorage, Alaska

3. Madison, Wisconsin

4. Milwaukee, Wisconsin

5. Omaha, Nebraska

6. Chicago, Illinois

7. Lincoln, Nebraska

8. Rochester, New York

9. Buffalo, New York

10. Ft. Wayne, Indiana

11. Toledo, Ohio

12. Detroit, Michigan

13. Akron, Ohio

14. Cleveland, Ohio

15. Indianapolis, Indiana

16. Colorado Springs, Colorado

17. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

18. Denver, Colorado

19. Kansas City, Missouri

20. Boston, Massachusetts

http://www.bustle.com/articles/12208-these-20-us-cities-are-allowed-to-complain-about-the-cold

<<<agrees with our former colleague; while on one hand it's understandable that people get all upset and bent out of shape when dealing with climate with which they're unfamiliar--such as snow in the south--it's not quite the same thng as dealing with life-threatening weather.

One's simply uncomfortable, inconvenienced, not in peril for their lives.

But it's apparent franksolich is the only one who agrees with our former colleague.

If you wonder why some of us don't feel a lot of sympathy hearing about how "cold" you have it when it reaches 30F, it's because what's cold to you is heavenly for us.

I feel sympathy for anyone thrown into something unfamiliar and possibly dangerous.

I live in colder than anyone here, probably and I can't find one whiff of superiority to people that have no idea what cold is on a regular basis. Or snow and bad highways.
 
Maybe I read you wrong. I hope.

-20 F is dangerous. 30 is not. Sure, it's a drag. Nobody likes to be uncomfortable. When your mayor doesn't prepare the city, it can be a nightmare. But most people simply have weather colder than what they are used to.

11. then enlighten me

Unless someone is homeless and living outside for a prolonged period of time, there is nothing dangerous about it. They face far greater danger during hurricanes.
 
Are you seriously going to say that 40 degree temperature in the South is more dangerous than -20 or -30 F in the North?

Quote
Whisp (21,627 posts)    Thu Jan 30, 2014, 01:58 AM

15. well yeah. We are used to it in the north.

Heaters, hot rum toddies, toques, plug ins for your vehicles.

And we have a sense of what all the seasons mean. I am north of you and have Extreme. Some summers are blazing egg frying sidewalk and some winters Antartica feeling (this winter we went -50 celsius, at -40 Farenheit and Celsius meet). The vast difference in temperatures in numbers is astounding.
 
I don't mean to get into fistycuffs with you BB, but man, people are suffering from the cold they are not used to and we just can't will it away by acting like it is not happening and because we know and are attuned to a different weather.

20. No, but making a deal of it feels more uncomfortable at the moment.

I don't find this too much different for people than being assaulted by a hurricane or tornado. At a much less scale Obviously, but still. They are faced with something 'uncomfortable' and for me, the very least I can do is not mock them!

So, you were able to acclimate to it. Not all of us can, or do. So, it's still ****ing cold for us in the South, whether you are able to find any sympathy for us or not.
 
Also, what most are complaining about is not so much the cold as it is the assholes laughing at us for not being able to acclimate as perfectly as them.

<<<am sure that if a hurricane struck Nebraska, primitives would guffaw and laugh at us for not being able to get used to it.

24. Sorry, but, no

cold weather is normal for all of those cities. It's 10F in Atlanta right now. The normal temperature for the time of year is above freezing. People living in areas where they aren't acclimated to extreme cold weather have every right to "complain about the cold". Telling them they don't makes you an asshole.

Okay.  That's it.  I'm putting this primitive on the "watch list" for the Top DUmmies of 2014, for that gratuitous, undeserved, unwarranted slander of the lady.

BainsBane may be an insufferable elitist prig who thinks she's cerebrally-superior to us :rotf:, but she's no rectal aperture; that description better fits tons of other primitives, but not her.

I have not seen but a few specks of snow this winter. The exception was up on the mountain. Now I don't even get to see snow up on the mountain caps it's been so warm this winter. We really could use some precipitation.

We have not even had any windy days in a long time. This winter has just been about perfect during the day.

Yesterday it was -20F, and we've had ten or more days like that this month. It's colder than normal everywhere. It just so happens the cold here will give you frostbite within 5 minutes and kill you within about 20 minutes.

38. So?

All the cities on that list? Cold weather is a routine occurrence. Houses and buildings are built for the climate and properly insulated. People dress for extreme cold weather and have extreme cold-weather clothing in their wardrobe. The state and local departments of transportation have road crews with ploughs and salt and grit. The infrastructure is built on the assumption of heavy snow and ice. None of these things are true of the South. If anything? None of the cities on that list gets to complain about cold weather, because they're USED TO IT.

BainsBane (22,473 posts)   Thu Jan 30, 2014, 02:39 AM

So? Yes, obviously the infrastructure is built to handle it. Does that mean there is something wrong with people knowing which are the coldest cities in the nation? I fail to see how posting this information constitutes some sort of travesty.

One wonders why she caved; those were perfectly good and strong arguments, and could've easily withstood the onslaught of thousands of negative, contrary primitives.

She should've left it up, to give other primitives a chance to show what assholes they are.

It's because it's over here, and so was she, at a couple of points in the past.  She doesn't want to be tombstoned--it's probably one of her only releases of frustration that she has. :tongue: (But only for the second part of the second sentence.)

Well, I must say I at least harvested a couple of new primitives for consideration for the Top DUmmies of 2014, Spider Jerusalem and the whispy primitive; always on the lookout for new talent, I'll see how they evolve over the year, if they're good enough for the big time.

By the way, Spider Jerusalem and the whispy primitive inspired me.

As you already know, there's going to be a new special award for the Top DUmmies of 2014; the Margaret Carter-Bartholomew Scott award, the "Peg & Barry," for the most flatulent primitive of the year.

Now I've decided there's going to be another new special award, the Douglas Bulna award, the "Doug," for the primitive who proved himself the biggest asshole of the year.

No, the special awards--like the "William Rivers Pitt" award--have to have a dignified name, along with a nick-name.

Since the Top DUmmies of 2014 will involve a third person, an "idea man," so as to lessen the load on Mr. Wiggum and myself, writing the awards should be a piece of cake, as easy as strawberries-and-cream--I can churn out awards in my sleep; what to write about is the nerve-wracking draining fatiguing exhausting part of the job--there'll probably be three or four new special awards this year, although of course the Top Ten is what counts the most.

I've lived in Atlanta and if they get even a trace of snow the place shuts down. You hope it snows overnight there so there's not as many on the roads, but when it snowed during the mid-day with all the schools open and people at work, you knew it was going to be trouble. They just simply don't have the equipment to clear the roads and the people there are not accustomed to driving in it. So what should be a nice easy drive for everyone and placing more space between you and the other driver, etc... becomes 4 million cars with 4 million nervous drivers waiting to cause 4 million problems.

That's one of the issues here in the low country during our ice/snow storm.  They have two snow plows for a six county region.  The highway dept. had people in the back of pickup trucks throwing out a sand/salt mix with shovels.  The stores here don't even sell ice scrapers.  Talked to a buddy of mine that's stationed in Anchorage, it's actually been colder here in the low country than there.

An advantage I enjoy out here on the roof of Nebraska is that if traveling conditions are rough, it's still a lot easier because there's no other traffic on the road.  ("No other traffic" not because of the weather, but simply because there's very few people here to create traffic even on good days.)

I feel for people in snow-clogged areas, no matter where they're at, who have to deal with other drivers.

-20 F is dangerous. 30 is not. Sure, it's a drag. Nobody likes to be uncomfortable.


 :bs:

Grab a bed sheet and go out into the woods at 30 degrees and sleep for the night. Next morning tell me how "not dangerous" it is. Tell ya what, to me 110 isn't dangerous. It's a helluva lot closer to normal human temperature than 2 f'n degrees below freezing yet you yankees drop like flies when it gets anywhere near it. Here's a hint: DRINK WATER.

BTW, what are "tempeartures "? I admit, I only have a bachelors, not a PhDD, so maybe I've been spelling it wrong all these years.

DUmp democrats are nasty, vicious people.

Ah, madam, you make it sound like it's a recent revelation.

She's as boring and stupid at DU as she was here. 

The low on Tuesday was 21 degrees in Atlanta.  Go sit in your car for 12-15 hours (or 24 hours for some people) without heat because you've run out of gas and tell me how comfortable it is.

How did all those people sleep in their cars with the temps so low?  How did they stay warm?

Cars have heaters these days.

EDIT: Didn't read the running out of gas statement by Chris.

All I know is I'm glad I haven't had to work outside in extreme temps for a long time. I had my share of that in my youth, including places like Chicago in the dead of winter and the Florida tobacco fields in the middle of summer. I think the most miserable I've ever been physically is in extreme cold. Now I'm very content to work my tired old bones in this climate-controlled, fluorescent-lighted, hospital until I retire.

Okay.  That's it.  I'm putting this primitive on the "watch list" for the Top DUmmies of 2014, for that gratuitous, undeserved, unwarranted slander of the lady.

BainsBane may be an insufferable elitist prig who thinks she's cerebrally-superior to us , but she's no rectal aperture; that description better fits tons of other primitives, but not her.

Sorry, coach, that DUmmy's description of Jugs was exactly, precisely, dead on target.

Only a DUmmie could troll for sympathy and brag at the same time. BrainDrain is a real piece of work!

Alex is a mean drunk.

What do you suppose she drinks to get that way?

I vote for Angostura Bitters, neat.

PhDD may be a drunk, but she's got a long way to go to catch up with the drunken female Nancy Greggs. She put away a couple of fifths a day, minimum.

Oh, she drinks, all right:

I can't drink much wine.  I prefer beer or margaritas.  The little bottle definitely wasn't enough.  I won't try that again.  I was trying to be frugal.

I suspect she's reading this post right now, screaming at the monitor in impotent rage.

Ah.  I thought she had said she didn't drink.

Maybe she was sober for one night.  Someone give her a chip.

I'm with ya.  I froze my ass off staring the Warsaw Pact down when I was young, adventurous, it was necessary for the defense of my country, and I was getting paid for it.  Didn't like it then and really, really can't stand it now.

Though I don't mind the occasional field visit to an electrical substation or a water treatment plant at this time of the year.  People complain about the cold--I tell them, "I used to work in an ice-cream plant's freezer.  This isn't bad."  They shut up after that.

That's nothing compared to when Omaha cops complain about their jobs to their Uninformed Information Services Technician.

He tells them about his days in that little catbird seat, swinging around over Omaha's enormous incoming sewage vat, fishing out all the used condoms and tampons.

He did it for years, until he finally fished out the Holy Grail of unionized labor, bogus disability.

While I agree with you, I think I now know the source of Ptarmy's intense hatred of anything related to lagomorphs. :whistling:

We have extreme colds here as well, I find now it gets warmer some days than it used to in Jan., Feb.  but it's always cold and sometimes below -25+C without the wind.  I have to admit I find it funny when some people get a little snow or cold and it's a huge ****ing panic or cars are getting piled up and spinning all over the place.  I don't find it funny if people die because of it. I can't see it from the other perspective.  I've lived here all my life, so I have to think that if a F2 tornado ripped through here it would make national news.  In that case I'd have to assume that people that are used to twisters would think that an F2 tornado every couple of hundred years is nothing to complain about..
