Thread: You know it's cold when.....

You know honestly we get snow, I mean we get a lot of snow 5 feet is the average each year we have hit 4 foot so far

It rarely goes into single digits here, we went down to 1°F so far but 25° F is more the norm


But we have Winter !!! it starts about Thanksgiving and goes through until about April 1st

I have yet to see the bitter cold blowing and snowing that we had in Colorado up here, but yes it has been cold and there is a lot of snow to move..

I guess the difference here is that winter is pretty much the same every year, some winters we get more snow, and we are due for one this year, but so far it is simply average...

The coldest it's been here in Wales last year is -13 with a nice fall of snow just before Christmas 2017 lasted for around 4 days, since then its been winter storms and gails wet & windy, we will probably get some more snow in the coming 2 months although I don't think we will get to much. PS me and my Boys enjoying the first snow fall of winter.

-27 now, on the way to -35, Cold Weather Alert in effect...still for an old Canuck like me, at this temperature, I will wear a coat now...which doesn't happen often, usually my suit jacket is enough...and snow storm on the way....love it!

I was born and raised in Germany, spent most of my life (prior to USA Georgia) close to Munich, and it's Apls. Therefore, my answer to this question is: "when your dick looks like a press stud/popper/snap (fastener)".

You know it's cold when we come up with new names to describe weather like "bomb cyclone".

Hey, Phrank. It was -4 F this morning here in northern Missouri for my walk to work. I think we were colder than Toronto.

Poor folks...-14F / -25C. But for the first time in a week or more, it is due to be above 0*F evey day..

You know its chilly when it takes ten minutes, after you've reached your destination, before you're able take a whizz!

Oh, yeah...Anchorage AK is 30F / 0C

You know it’s cold when you walk outside and your nostrils freeze shut on the first inhale which hurts your lungs and the wood creaks and cracks under your footsteps.

When the coke cans explode in the garage. Happened few years ago, havent made the same mistake again. We left some coke cans in the garage and suddenly we hear this bang on the garage door. I opened the door and there was a frozen chunk of coke of the size of a baseball that had hit the door and was slowly sliding down. It was pretty funny.

You know it's cold when your power steering feels manual steering and your ride is a bit lumpy because the tires have take a flat from sitting. Yes, even radial tire will do it but not near as bad as the old bias ply tires did. Don't forget to plug your engine block heater in for a few hours before you start the car. If you don't know what a block heater is consider yourself very lucky.
