'My Face Hurts It's So Cold'
* Bitter Chill Now, Sunday Snow? Full Forecast | Inauguration Forecast *
It case you hadn't noticed, it's really cold outside. Local Twitter users are chronicling the scene, and most don't seem too thrilled. At least a couple of people stayed home from work, while several are complaining about body parts in pain.
Keep reading for some of the more apt descriptions...
Fedward in D.C.: At the risk of repeating every person from the Mid-Atlantic and all points north: OMG it's cold.
AndreaGenevieve in D.C.: MY FACE HURTS its so cold outside
pofr in D.C.: thinks the office should close for cold weather
mikemadden in D.C.: If it's going to be this cold in the winter, I think we should, as compensation, get lower humidity in the summer. Only fair.
kikiverde in Howard County: Wanted to run a couple of errands today but it's too cold to go out.
mollytics in D.C.: I might be the only person in DC who likes this cold weather. What's wrong with me?
Phofuki in Clarksburg: It's so cold out the condensation on my energy efficient windows has created icicles :)

People need to suck it up. Too cold to go out and run errands? The terrorists have already won.

Some people will never learn; you can't say your face hurts without giving some jackass license to say "It hurts you? It's killing me!"

Last night, I flew back to DC from Phoenix via Chicago. When I left Phoenix, it was 70 degrees. When we landed at O'Hare, it was 5 below zero. Even inside the airport it was ridiculously cold...with all the glass, almost impossible to heat it under those circumstances. Not the best energy efficiency planning, IMO.

I bicycled into work also - my commute is 16 1/2 miles each way (Alexandria to DC). I wore a North Face parka, and boots that are good for -50. :) Charmaine

I think this is part of DC's plan to keep Virginians from getting to the inauguration. The engineered cold is an assault on the freedom of everyone in the region.
I am shocked and appalled.
