Shit, it's fucking cold...

Woke up an hour or so ago, got the stoves going again and sat down to see what was happenig online with my morning coffee... glanced over at the outdoor thermometer...

-30C (-22F)...

Thats with no air movement around the thermometer... add in whatever the wind was and it's fucking COLD...

Plugged the truck block heater in to start warming it up, plugged the battery charger in to make sure the battery was up and full.... while I was plugging the charger in, the cord to it SNAPPED from the cold...

 

No wonder it's difficult to thaw out sometimes. You are a stiffer man than I care to be.

 

yeah we've been havin some sick cold ones here too, -45-50 with windchill some days....


youd think after all these years we'd be used to these winters by now, but every once in awhile i find myself shocked by how cold it is......

 

I suffer from massive short term memory loss... it always fucking shocks me...lol

 

And I thought I had it bad with a measly temperature of 10 F

Although coupled with winds gusting to 38 mph it does feel like -20 F

38mph winds take -30C (-22f) to -50C (-58f)...

just to give you the proper perspective on that...

 

Then let each of us drown in our own misery in a game of Can You Top This :cheers2:



Hotwater

 

If you can ever top us where you are... we'll be frozen dead...

 

Don't worry we probably never will and only place around here comparable would be mount washington
new hampshire

I can't win, or top you, it's a balmy 3f here..

Peace

 

OMG I know!
I'm near Toronto, and I had to shelter myself in bloody subway waiting to go to one of my classes.
Monday is supposed to be like +8 though lol

 

plus 8?....thats not what breakfast tv told me...its calling for minus 14 monday in southern on.....sorry noela

...my sis lives near tom..constsnt battle with the elements..its the price you pay liviv up in the woods

 

It's not too much of a price considering we don't have earthquakes or tornadoes or poisoness plants or animals and so forth as a general rule...

although I will admit... I wouldnt mind trading a tornado or two for a couple of extra degrees of warmth... lol

 

i agree..the benefits far out weigh the down side...although my bro in law damn near burned down the house trying to thaw out some pipes in south river

 

woohoo the truck started!!!

only needed to be plugged in for 4 hours... lol

 

-23 here with -33 windchill...I never plug in vehicles they always start for me if I make sure the oil is fresh and I use 5w/30...the snowblowers and four wheeler get 0w/30 though

 

fuck canada. I dont mind when its 25 here but negative 25 is pushing it. when it hits 10 degrees i wanna move to florida. i cant imagine it being like that most of the time

 

Its icefishing season, going to be a banner year for it too I think I love winter, its alot easier to warm up than it is to cool down.

 

We're pulling in a solid 18F here
