How cold is it ?

Here's a little irony. It's so cold in MN that they closed the warming shelters.
( I'm not making this up. )

It was so cold in Fairbanks today, that some of the young Gangsta's actually pulled up their pants!

So cold the politicians are keeping their hands in their own pockets.

You didn't maybe see a large, red, horned individual putting
on some ice skates, did you?

That news site won't let me view the article unless I allow it to set cookies all over my computer. Moving on...

I turned the thermo upside down to see the temp rise

It must be cold up north. All of the cars here are from up there.

I'm wearing shorts. I leave that to your imagination.

Stay warm. Seriously.

Actually it's warming up. Got up to zero today -- first time in a week.

Favorite greeting this past week: "Cold 'nuff for ya?" My reply's been "yust right!"

I got the house to heat up to 65 F in the kitchen. Much colder in other rooms! Ivan

It is 17 here right now and a comfy 68 in the apartment.

It's 59 here in AZ. Guess I'll have to put on a sweater if I go outside. Supposed to rain for the next couple of days and that ain't right, I live in the desert. Must be all that global warming thing.

4F today.

As usual, baby sister called today from Sarasota to ask me how the weather was up here.

You mean?

You mean they were colder than a well diggers......?

Supposed to get down to 11 tonight the stay in the 20's during the day and the teens at night and snow for the next 2 days. We've got a propane fireplace in our livingroom and we're gonna fill the tanks this weekend. The snow covered mountains out here are beautiful.

A guy from N. Dakota told how cold it would get there in the winter. He was the youngest in the family and his older brothers would lower him down in a 40 ft. well each morning and he would chop loose enough ice for his daddy to melt on the stove to make coffee. He told it for the truth. Larry

Back, by popular acclaim, from Minnesotans for Global Warming: YouTube

Set the flamingo free!

It's been so cold up here the past few days, bags of frozen vegetables are wearing layers.

It's nice here this morning, 14°F. The other morning, it was -11°. But that's still not really cold. I have seen it so cold that ice skates did not work, just stuck to the ice. You know that on skates, you are gliding on a thin strip of water, melted by the pressure of the blade on the ice. If it's too cold for the blade to melt the ice, the skates won't work.

I went to college in North Dakota in the 1960s and lived in married student WWII era tin huts with a living room furnace that would blow out the pilot light if you turned on the blower. My son's bedroom had frost growing up the walls. Made him tougher. Oddly enough he moved to Florida 23 years ago. He does kind of whine when he comes back for Christmas.

I had to walk about a half mile to school across the prairie and learned that I couldn't make it without freezing my face if the wind chill factor was below -75.

No human being should have to know that fact.
