It's -26F here in Fargo right now. That's air temperature, not wind chill.

[Odin2005]

Wind chill is -40.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. That's just unacceptable.

[denbot]

2. OMG..

How do you guys live in those places?

[Odin2005]

3. We are used to it.

You wusses! :P

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Yup. We like to say that it keeps out the riffraff.

But it's only -6 here right now, so we're relatively more wussy.

[Redstone]

6. You NoDaks are a diferent breed, indeed. And this is from a native Vermonter,

so it's said with respect.

7. You betcha!

10. How in the fuck do you surf in -26 weather..

Dude, really?!?!?!

[pokerfan]

14. Is it true that North Dakota wants to change its name

because they feel that the "North" prefix gives people the impression that it must get cold up there?

I think I saw it on a West Wing.

[Odin2005]

17. A group of people wanted to do that a couple years ago, didn't get anywhere.

:rofl:

[denbot]

18. I would imagine it would be hard to execute a proper "pop-up"..

Frozen to your board..

[pokerfan]

21. Just googled it

Found this Dave Barry piece

In contrast, SOUTH Dakota is universally believed to be a tropical paradise with palm trees swaying on surf-kissed beaches. Millions of tourists, lured by the word "South, " flock to South Dakota every winter, often wearing nothing but skimpy bathing suits. Within hours, most of them die and become covered with snow, not to be found until spring, when they cause a major headache for South Dakota's farmers by clogging up the cultivating machines.

11. Coming from Iowa, now Vermont

I can tell you that the wind never blows here like it does on the plains.
We can get cold here 20-30 below some winters, but never the wind.
I do not miss it.

19. Odin2005 is at Ground Zero

[denbot]

20. It's 82 degrees warmer here..

I'm in my den with the heater on.. I guess we are wimps. :shrug:

[Odin2005]

*SHIVER*

[kid a]

5. 5 in Billngs - brrrrrrrr...

[rrneck]

8. I had a bottle of tequila around here somewhere. nt

[KamaAina]

9. That would partially explain why my main man Wet Bank left there for his native New Orleans

htp://toulousestreet.wordpress.com

the afternmath of the "Federal Flood" explains the rest.

[Blue_In_AK]

12. It's pretty warm up here in Anchorage.

13 tonight, with beautiful clear skies, patchy fog. We had that cold weather last January like you're having. You just have to layer up and tough it out.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Shit. It's colder here than in AK!

5 above.

[texanwitch]

13. Well, it is a toasty 38 here.

The weather has been cold or cool for over a month.

No warm weather here.



I like it.

Our poor old buildings couldn't stand up the type of cold y'all have.

[MilesColtrane]

16. May as well live on motherfucking Mars.

[Sebastian Doyle]

23. Does Fargo have sailors fighting in the dance halls?

Or mice that grow up to be cows?

22. Might explain why people talk funny there and go on murdering sprees.

[blockhead]

24. Did you see this in the Fargo Forum last Sunday?

[Odin2005]

27. Yep!

We got WAY too much snow on Christmas, LOL!

[mike_c]

28. 55 F and sunny in coastal norcal....

I lived in ND as a kid. Brrrr!

[Posteritatis]

29. I was going to complain about cold and then I read the temps in the NWT

When I saw a mention of windchill of -68F in Resolute, I decided I was going to consider -20 windchills to be toasty.

[LNM]

30. Don't you just hate it when you walk outside

and your nose freezes shut?

Brrrrrrrrr.

[Odin2005]

31. I took my garbage out last night and it was painful to breath!

:scared:

[Odin2005]

32. Well, it's dropped back down to -22, LOL!
