When is it just too damn cold?

[proud2BlibKansan]

I just went up to the store for a few things and there was ICE in the INSIDE of my windshield.

That's too damn cold.

[AwakeAtLast]

1. Yup, that's too damn cold

:scared:

I went downstairs to get a drink and noticed the floor was cold but the heat is set at the same temp. I turned on my faucet to drip and opened up the cabinet.

2. I'm wearing two pairs of socks and two shirts

and I am inside.

[AwakeAtLast]

5. I didn't want a Snuggie

but they are starting to look tempting. Yikes!

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. I forgot to mention

I have my Snuggie on too.

And yes, it's wonderful.

25. my mother in law knitted me a snuggie

it is really awesome. She didn't have a pattern but it is awesome and warm

and yes it is damn cold. I am tired of it!

3. When it's too damn cold to go out for a ciggie

20F here. Not there.............yet.

:smoke:

[rcrush]

6. Its too cold for a smoke break when the cold freezes your cigarette.

If it can stay lit then you are good!

[liberaltrucker]

15. True that

4. The next few days is when.

I may eat the pug.

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Bear? Or that adorable GOP hating canine?

OMG don't you dare.

I will so turn you in.

[evlbstrd]

12. the GOP hater.

I couldn't do that.
I had to put Bear down. She was the best dog ever.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Ah that's too bad

Now don't scare Pug. A good GOP hatin dog is hard to find.

[evlbstrd]

16. Gup is my co-pilot.

She's become my closest buddy.

But she did try to kill Bear.

The door to the basement was open. Bear could barely walk, but for some reason was standing at that door, looking down the stairs, and Gup was on her little hind legs with her front paws on Bears' butt, trying to push her down the stairs. I yelled "Gup!" She turned her head to look at me and then turned back to give Bear one last shove. Bear went rolling down the stairs. She wasn't hurt, thankfully. evl jr. carried her back up. Gup let it be known that she's the Queen Alpha Bitch.

9. When I go to the hockey arena to warm up. That's when I know.

Or when I wash the dishes (we don't have a dishwasher) to indulge in hot water.

18. Check my temp thread. it's -26F in Fargo. -40 wind chill.

:evilgrin:

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. I won't be coming to visit tonight

:)

[pokerfan]

20. You might want to check something

That's happened to me before. Make sure your fan is pulling air from outside and not recirculating the humid interior air. The recirculate feature is great in the summer when you need the AC to cool down the car quickly. Not so great in the winter.

:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Aha!

I figured I had left a window open a crack. LOL

[pokerfan]

24. Let me know if that was it

Warm air holds more moisture than does cold air so you definitely want the recirc off.

What happens is you park your car for the night and that warm moist air starts to cool and loses its capacity to hold the moisture. The inside of the windows will generally be the coldest surface so that's where the condensation will tend to form.

22. Ice on the inside of your windshield? A common occurrence in Minnesota

Be sure the air circulation is set to take in outside air, not just recirculate inside air. The frost on the inside of the windshield is the vapor from your breath.

The following things happen as the temperatures drop way past zero:

1. The snow crunches when you step on it

2. Car exhaust hovers low to the ground

3. It hurts to breathe

4. If you're wearing gloves instead of mittens, you can feel your fingers starting to get frostbitten.

5. The wind against your forehead gives you a headache

I have heard of--but never experienced--plants dying when people tried to carry them up a long walk from the car to the house in 20 below zero temps.

23. I don't like it much colder than -30.

I can handle that, dress warm enough for it, but much below that is too cold even for me. It gets much colder than -30 in Interior Alaska ... which is why I live on the coast.

[applegrove]

26. I was walking home from work and couldn't breath. I hate cold like this.

27. When you pee outside and it freezes before it hits the ground

[B Calm]

28. My dear friend in Wirt, Minnesota says it's getting down to 40 below tonight.

She's 92 years old and lives all alone 60 miles from a town of any size.

31. It's a balmy 15 degrees here right now!

Heat wave!!:)

[Sky Masterson]

32. lucky you

:P

30. What I can't believe is to see people out jogging in sub zero temperatures.

What really sucks is when your windshield frosts up while you are driving and you cannot even see to pull over.
