Morning everyone! I know I haven't been around in a while. Well it's about 12 degrees F here "feels like -1" burr, burr, burr. Orc help me stoke up the fire and I'll get some breakfast goodies going. I just made a loaf of Rosemary French bread in my breadmaker last night. Makes good toast if anyone wants some and a pot of chai tea.
I'm in! It's a bit nippy here, too, I just can't get warm!
I know that the 'feels like" temps are a good indicator of what to wear, what expect as far as the weather goes....but, isn't it redundant below 32 degrees?:confused:Quote:

That's what the "feels like" is good for, frankly. And that's when parents wrap small children up so well they can hardly move - the less exposed skin the better! Have you ever gone outside with wet hair and had it freeze solid below the shoulder line? Ever been so cold you could no longer exactly feel your toes inside your boots?
Ever had frostbite????
Mighty painful thaw process, trust me.
Go Arizona!! :D What a great game to watch!
It is chilly tonight here...I know 40s arent too bad but with this fog floating about it feels way colder especially since I gotta be outside. Hot coffee please!!
Actually?Quote:

I have been in two snow storms here locally-the first taught me how to prepare and the second one taught me to check the weather reports before heading out.
Us Cah Lee Fun Nee Uns are wussies when it comes to long term snow storms.:eek:
Talk to us about the earth moving!:eek::) I kid, I kid!
QoP,
we just had a 16 y.o. kid that spent the night lost in the snow. He was 'boarding' got lost and misplaced both his boots and a glove.
Can I toss sunburn in as the other extreme? Just to even the weather extremes out?
DJ,
It wasn't Shanhan, It's Pete Carroll!
Coffee and a comment?
Trust me, there's a big difference between 30F and -30F.
I have a pair of boots I don't even think about putting on until it's -20F or colder. (and I've worn them for weeks on end at the sunny fun spot called FT Drum)
Sunburn? That's a severe hazard in ture cold conditions as well.
In the meatime, I'll have a coffee or 10 and a seat by the fire to warm up the tootsies!
A coffee or ten, some warmth and Solarcaine? :eek:Quote:

Richard, you just haven't lived until you've experienced frost nips and sunburn on your face all at the same time.
DJ,
Can I give you your coffee late?

I have always been a huge fan of the Himalaya/Everest tales and that was enough for me! I get cold just thinking about it.
Cold weather would be fun-until I got wet. Plus, I live in shorts.:confused::rolleyes:;)
I hate when my feet and legs below the knees get cold and I can't warm them up all day. Winter is fun, I just don't like getting cold.
Some decaf coffee and really warm slippers please.
Decaf and your slippers.Quote:

I never liked to wear socks around the house, seems like that's the only way to make it thru the night anymore.
And with the temps that LH has been talking about? Let me get the ORC out to wood pile!:eek:
A week or so ago, when the wind was gusting to 40 MPH (65 kPH for our metric friends) it seemed like no matter how many layers you wore it wasn't enough. And this was with the air temp. around 10 F. I don't know how people in North Dakota, etc. do it. I think only natural fibers (silk, wool and *gasp* fur) are the only options in weather like that! What's really a pain is when you have glasses; you have your scarf and hat covering as much face skin as possible, and your glasses fog up! Made me want one of those snorkel jackets that were big in the '70s!
The ones with the blaze orange lining!:)Quote:
