Scott, How cold was it in MN this morning?
 
It was -5 today here in Ohio! The only good thing is we got about 6 inches of snow. This summer I took the tractor and made a 500 ft sledding/tubing hill on the back side of the prop. Kids (and me) have been having a blast. Built a big fire pit. It is tons of fun. Really, it is! I swear it is fun in sub zero temperatures.....

I feel sorry for you SoCal boys with your nice even warm temperatures with no snow to plow and road grime dripping in the garage from the cars, cleaning ice of the windows....

Funny you should ask, Darren! :_paranoid

It was so stupid this morning that I had to take a pic! :faint: :lol: And to think, I'm in tropical southern Minnesota.

Yeah I know it has been freezing out here. Yesterday it was like 57 degrees. BBBUUUURRRRR...... The low last night was a bone chilling 40 above. If I want snow I will drive to it.

Wow - that's crazy. My poor little car was cursing at me when I turned the key this morning.

We were in the -5 to -7 range.

Wow Scott, That is crazy cold. I don't see how you guy's can function in that.

Jr 01-16-2009 10:51 AM

Scott,
I think your temp gauge is broken...I thought I saw a - sign in the picture. Stay warm.

JamesJ 01-16-2009 10:55 AM

I have live in Texas most all of my life, I could not handle having to deal with that kind of weather. There is another world that revolves around snow and the cold weather that I dont know a thing about.

brans72 01-16-2009 10:57 AM

Could be worse if the is blowing strong! I was up in Foley,Mn for New Years and was feeding cows in -24 wasn't to bad I made it a week up there and I am a southeren boy!!!! Always welcome if the South Scott

Vegas69 01-16-2009 12:04 PM

68 and sunny...I am heading to the golf course in a few. :unibrow: That reminds me....man I wish I had my car!!!!

If you want a taste of extreme cold you should of been up here in Winnipeg this last week...every morning we had windchill warnings in the -50 deg area...i walked for lunch about 5min outside without a hat on and got frostbite on my ear...I HATE WINTER!
We had a poor sucker from are office in Macon Georgia here this week and the poor guy never experienced anything like this in his life...when he got to the hotel he took his suitcase out of his trunk and his dressshirts were all completely frozen in the folded position lol

-33??? I'd like to experience that at least once. Living here in Baton Rouge, LA my entire life, the coldest I've experienced is 18 degrees. This week was the coldest I've seen it down here in a long while. For the last three days, We've been in the high 20's for the lows and mid to upper 40's for the highs.

I guess our brutal summers aren't that bad afterall compared to the winter weather you guys are experiencing up there right now.

68protouring454 01-16-2009 09:03 PM

thats funny, I had -36 here at my shop this morning with it never going over 0. 1.5 hrs north of me saw -50. unreal.

It's a cool 75 today, but with that wind chill it felt like 73. The low last night while bbqing was a freezing 56 degrees. We had to have a fire in the house it was so cold. It was so cold, that this person down the street had to wear these really long shots.

BUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Just came in from a great day outside in the snow with my boys. Been snowing all day, and got some on Sat too.
Its 20 here so really not that bad. Kids are worn out.

Winter can be allot of fun for the kids. Not as much for us adults. But life is about the kids anyway so if they love it then I can deal with the cold.

I have Lived in north america twice in my life, one full year in New foundland... and 8 months in Fergus Falls MN... and of the two id prefer the MN winters... but -33 is freakin kold!!

its never much below freezing here.. just wet and dark.... think ill take snow over that cocktail though

I BBQ'd last night and it was 18! takes a little while longer, and not as much fun when you have to put on a coat to go flip the chicken!

you guys make it sound so bad just went out for a snomobile ride on wed. 25 below.my favorite time to ride. still looking for an acellaration rate of a sled in a car package that hooks up 125 hp. 450 pounds you should feel the difference with this dense air.the one thing that blows is your beer freezes in 2 minutes.its all good.

Are you from Winnipeg, or were you jsut visiting. I heard that last week we were the coldest place on the planet. Apparently some of the news channels had shots of Antarctica and the high arctic and we were colder than them. I just had to laugh to think about all my friends back home.

But I do wish San Fran would get some snow. I miss it something awful.

Deuce you lived in Newfoundland,the Rock. I'm orginally from Cape Breton and you would have to drive through there if going to the mainland from the Rock. I still find MN colder than back there.
