Author Topic: Are you freezing your ass off? Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-09-2004 09:29 AM                     It's a nice 17 degrees here in Times Square right now. It's going down to around 8 degrees tonight in the city. It's going to get alittle coldier on Saturday, I can't wait to feel that wind whipping down Broadway.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-09-2004 09:45 AM                        Well, on East 63rd St. it's 15 degrees on the thermometer outside my window. However, no matter how cold it get's, just make sure it's warm in your heart.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-09-2004 09:52 AM                     Jeff! When are you coming down here? We'll build a Sandman! (no snow for a Snowman) Weather here has been screwy. About a week ago it was in the upper 40s during the day and mid-30s at night. Now, it's 78 degrees outside, partly cloudy. The trees don't know what the hell to do. It's ashamed I don't have a bike, because... oh you know! I'm not much of a bike person anyway. I got a pair of skates, though. They take up less room in the already-crowded house. Yesterday it was in the 60s and I wore thick cord pants, a shirt, and a sweater. We call anything below 65 here "nippy" weather. Anything below 50 is just downright COLD! Remember, we hardly ever get below 32F here, so our temperature threshold is way out of whack. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

And then the northerners all stand in the streets screaming "I'm melting!" when it reaches 85 degrees on the hottest summer day.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-09-2004 12:29 PM                     Thomas: I'm taking a week starting 2/5 in Longboat visiting friends, and don't even care if I never get to the beach. Some palm trees and shirt sleeve weather would do.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-09-2004 01:57 PM                     It's about 12 degrees here, 2:00 in the afternoon, and it just stopped snowing. Edit: It just started snowing again, its 2:08 now. Pretty heavy too - jeez.  |  IP: Logged Gracia L. Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 01-09-2004 02:08 PM                        OK, so right now here in my hometown it's mid-afternoon, and it has been mostly sunny for most of today's daylight hours, and the temperature is sitting at 0°F. Add the windchill, and it feels like -20°F. That's freaking cold! Granted, it happens every year, I expect it ... but still, brrr! And no - I don't complain about melting when the temperature hits 85°F. I just get a little bitchy. However, when the summer temperatures here get into the upper 90's, with really high humidity, I might complain about it being too hot & sticky to function.  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

It's fun around here when we have snow/sleet storms because then I can find a parking lot(THEATRE) and do donuts for a while.

Currently in Myrtle Beach, 39°. Low of 32° overnight with a high of 49° tomorrow. Rainy all friggin day, which helped keep the Q-tips away... and we opened Big Fish, Calendar Girls, & House of Sand & Fog today. Perfect geriatric flicks for matiness business... :>) I'd expect to see Phil if he wasn't being a little bitch.. oh wait, that's a little bitchy, over on the other coast! And you guys talk about riding.. If you have a bike.. don't be a fairweather rider.. Be a RIDER. Ride in the rain, cold, snow, heat, etc... We're going trail riding tomorrow I think...

The beaches are packed with people on their summer holiday. It's the weather that film exhibitors hate as families tend to enjoy outside activities and stay out of the theatres. Our biggest problem down here this time of year, is risk of sun exposure due to the short burn time. The depletion of the ozone layer is a major issue in this part of the world.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-09-2004 07:21 PM                     "It's about 12 degrees here, 2:00 in the afternoon, and it just stopped snowing." _________________________________________________________________ WOW! Rachel, you're in the midst of a heat wave up there! When I used to service those theatres -20 was the norm. I guess you can put your fur coat back in storage now. Actually, Here in Salt Lake City it has warmed up from 29 deg F. yesterday to the mid 30's today. This is a good thing and will allow the snow to melt slowly....we got alot of that stuff right after xmas. I love the snow to play in but not to work in. Mark  |  IP: Logged
