Thread: stupid cold

it was cold enough this morning (-14F or -25C) that the back door knob froze and I had to take it out in order to get it open. It's often colder than that but this was the first time I noticed a doorknob being frozen.

you call that cold. it was colder than that when I was a kid and had to walk to school 10 miles bare footed up hill both ways

Was 86 F here yesterday. Cold front came in and it was 57 this morning. Up to about 65 'bout now. Not ready to get the long johns out just yet though.

Was snowblowing this am here in NY. That cold snow on the face made me think about lathering up and shaving! I love the cold shave! I have to do that just once! I may be talking out of my you know what though!LOL

Yeah, that's getting down there. I remember one time, north of Fairbanks -- back in the early '70s -- it was so cold I lit a match and the flame froze.

We used to do this just for kicks when I was in Korea. Then we would flick the flame with a finger nail just to watch it shatter.

Now this is a no BS story. Back in the days of the old starched(very heavy starch)cotton fatigues you could crack the fabric while doing morning PT exercises.

You know converted to metric it sounds even better/farther.

In International Falls Minnesota, the coldest place in the USA, it was minus 41F last week. Not as cold this week but plenty cold. The forecast for tonight is minus 11F and for Saturday dipping down to minus 38F and windy. Glad I don't live there.
