OK, now you're just being ridiculous. Rain at 19 degrees would bring the entire state of SC to a screeching halt...in a ditch on the side of the road. Hell I spit out the window this morning and there was a 9 car pileup behind me.
Yeah, know what you mean. Still love it out in the woods when riding across a puddle means watching chunks of ice fly.
-1° this a.m. w/ windchill factor to -20°. After it gets so cold numbers really don't matter... it's just too berkeleying cold.
It was 8 degrees in Loganville, warmed up to 12 degrees by the time I got to work an hour later. Brrrrrrr!
26 degrees at 1:30 pm here in the Armpit. That's about 20 below the norm for this time of year; typically February is our coldest month.
Was weird this AM I went to Boston and when I got to the job my trucks telling me it is 8 degrees. Since I had come from home where it was -6 when I got out of the truck it was actually nice.
When I was a kid, my uncle in Alberta was a baker. He had a deep freeze that was 30 below. He said when it was 40 below outside, they went in there to warm up.
In reply to Dr. Hess:
Sometimes when I worked retail I would take a walk to help keep alert, to the back room of the freezer where they kept the ice cream, going from roughly 70 to -20 in a dozen steps really wakes ya up.
I think we got into the 20's this week, heater decided to quit working in the DD, still haven't broken out anything more than a jacket and an extra pair of socks. Planning on going out fishing the flats Monday morning.
