Yeah they are. I remember fighting my way downtown in a blizzard only to find out my first class was canceld because the prof didn't show. I waited around campus for my second class and the same thing happened. I gave up on the waiting for the third class and caught a bus back home.

College prepares you for the real world....and this is a fine example. How many businesses closed today because it's too cold???
Real world my farthest walk is from a parking lot to the building. Not 10-15 minutes.
I'm more pissed about my room, to be honest. My windows are closed as tight as I can get them and it's still ridiculously cold in here.

With all these reminders about taking care of yourself in the cold and take care of animals, one can only surmise that some of the people who post here must think that the other people who post here are completely winterignorant.

A lot of people commute to work. Some wait on buses that run late, etc.

Put blankets over them and roll up towels along the window sill. And, this is good training for home ownership. Trying to conserve energy and warmth.

People that leave animals outside in these temperatures are ignorant.

I would wager that there is not one person that posts here that would leave an animal outside for any exteded period in freezing temperatures.
Come down off the soap boxes.

What exactly is wrong with a friendly reminder? Like "don't forget to winterize your hose bibs" or "take a sweater" or "take an umbrella"...? I'm sorry you find those so insulting, you would have hated my grandmother...

I just find it abhorrent and repugnant the insinuations that people aren't smart enough to take good care in the winter. MY GOD, this isn't the first time it's ever been this cold, and it has been a lot colder.

I don't believe you could imagine the disdain.
But hey christyk, if you like being talked to as if you're not capable of caring for yourself, then hey...have at it.

For someone that actually CARES about their animal, it just might. Maybe they didn't know any better. Or, maybe they put blankets in the dog house thinking that's enough. Whatever.

Yeah, maybe they're smart enough to have everything except common sense to leave an animal outside. Not whatever, it's what.

I doubt their smart at all. Most people aren't. And, if you came over here to pick fights...do it with someone else.

J/C I find it funny all these northerners complaining about the cold.  Unless pipes are frozen up and you don't have water in a building, there is no reason to close anything. I say man up here and get tough. 
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong

You have articulated what I could not.
BTW, I was curious, so I tossed on my boots, put on my hat and survival jacket and took a walk around the block.
Guess what?
Not one dog tied up outside. Not bad for this area, because there are a lot of people with dogs, and some of my neighbors don't strike me as some of the more intelligent among us.

Yeah well we don't close schools with an inch of snow like y'all do down there. If this was the south the state governments would shut down and the grocery stores would be empty  It sucks though, it really does. Time to go to work, blah!.
