We're in a deep freeze! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

It is sooooo cold here! Right now it's 15 below and a 39 below wind chill. By morning it is supposed to be -25 with a -50 wind chill. I should have never bragged about the mild winter we've had! Brrrrrrrrrrrrr! I guess now's the time for Maddie to try out her boots. We don't have much snow, but that's got to be so cold on those little paws!

Its been real nice here the last few days we are having thunder storms right now and a cold front coming in.

fasteddie · 02-16-2006, 07:36 PM

Burrr! Our cold is going to be as low as 19 degrees tomorrow, and I think THAT'S cold.

orinskye · 02-16-2006, 07:49 PM

yeah i am freezing here too...........lol
ok no seriously....... i really am cold.... but i seem to ALWAYS be cold, it is not uncommon to see me basking in teh sun like a cat

i really dont know why i am this way, my body temperture runs lower than the normal 98.6 so maybe that is the reason

Connie · 02-16-2006, 08:40 PM

Hey Orinske...I'm always cold too...in the winter...and my body temp is also lower than the norm. I wonder if that's why we freeze because I freeze all winter...even indoors!

lol........ yeah but i live in sunny california

Connie · 02-16-2006, 10:48 PM

I think mine is 97.4...so yours is even lower than mine! It's now -18 here with a -45 wind chill. I'm going to bed...time for a long winters nap! LOL

yup mine is really low...... i just checked it for ya and it is 96.6

One thing i always have to watch out for is when i get sick. . . 99 or 100 is an average cold for a normal temp, but it is REALLY bad for me because my temp makes a higher jump.... i am lucky in that i dont get sick that often, but when i do..... ITS BAD.... last time i got sick my temp went up to 104 and it was decided that i shoulda gone to the hospital

(i didnt, i was so out of it i didnt know what the hell was going on.... but it is deffinatly something that i have to watch out for now)

alaskayorkie · 02-16-2006, 11:06 PM

Minus 25? Eek. Eddie wouldn't even go out in that. Good luck!

orinskye · 02-16-2006, 11:07 PM

LMAO....... as an afterthought i checked webmd to see what they say about body temp and aparantly i am in a constant state of hypothermia

but i have other factors which contribute to the "problem", if i didnt have any medictions to take or genetic predispositions to certain things i would probably be more like yours

Connie · 02-17-2006, 08:33 AM

Well, it's -25 here with a wind chill of near -50. I wish Maddie would use pee pads, but she refuses. She actually goes out in this to do her thing and she doesn't take any time to sniff around as she usually does. She does her thing and is back inside in a jiffy.

Orinske...you poor girl...you are freezing worse than I am! You're about 1 degree lower than my temp! I hate being cold all the time!

suz · 02-17-2006, 08:44 AM

Between 96 and 97.0 is normal for me too!! I was in the hospital once and they said that I couldn't get out until my body temp was 98.6!! Thought I was going to have to stay there forever!!! I even tried to rub the thermometer on the covers to warm it up. Then I looked at the temp and it said I was 126!! Shook it back down real quick! (This was back in the days they had to use a theromometer under your tongue. Not the kind they stick in your ear!!)
