Author Topic: Are you freezing your ass off? Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 01-09-2004 02:30 AM                        Today it was a mild and pleasant 68 degrees (Fahrenheit that is, I have finally gotten used to that) with a bright blue and nearly cloudless sky in Southern California. It was great. I could drive around with the window all the way open. For tomorrow, they promised us 72. Just thought I let all you nice people in those freezing cold, snowed-in locations know. What`s the weather like where you are at now? Do your hands stick to the wheel when you get in the car in the morning?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-09-2004 02:34 AM                     It was around 60-65F today here in lovely Dallas. The nights are in the 50s. Not cold at all, just a light breeze. Easily t-shirt and jeans weather. It's ashamed I don't have a bike, because it's such perfect bike riding weather down here. Maybe I should get one. (Watch how long it takes for Josh to respond about his bike being locked up and Fargo being frozen over while he's freezing his ass off. )  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

A little cooler and it'd be absolutely great skiing weather. -30F is definitely still jeans and a t-shirt weather.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 01-09-2004 02:57 AM                     Yeah, its good riding weather, it was fun riding a couple days ago when it was 20 degrees outside. IT sucked riding home just now, there's a fog and the roads were super super slick. I had to go so slow.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-09-2004 04:04 AM                     Now watch all the people from northern climates reply about how they don't mind the cold, below zero is perfect weather, etc. I'll let you in on a little secret: ITS ALL BULLSHIT Everyone hates the cold. I'm not talking mid thirties sort of 'cold,' some people do like that. No, when the thermometer goes below 20 F EVERYONE is miserable. Right now the temps are hanging out in the teens with windchills occasionaly below 0. I hate Wisconsin.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-09-2004 04:39 AM                  Dustin, That's ***EXACTLY** why I moved away from Michigan many moons ago! Here in Hollywood today, it was a pleasent 75 degrees. It's ashamed I don't have a bike, because it's such perfect bike riding weather down here. Maybe I should get one? >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

Then you would have to call a cab to haul you back up the hill.* *the hill, get it? haha  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-09-2004 05:11 AM                        It's a balmy 3 degrees here. Daryl and maybe Josh would call it "tropical."  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-09-2004 06:14 AM                  Ummmm, no Mr. Schaffer, I don't get it... ??? BTW: In my post Bike = Motorcycle, NOT the type one has to manually pedal their ass off to make it move. Also, who want's to bet that those dumbass French will propose to the IEC to change the word "motorcycle" to "motorhertz"? >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 01-09-2004 06:26 AM                     I'll bet you!

I am from the the DC area and this is pretty god damn nice for a winter for me. However, it just amuses the hell out of me to watch the natives here bitch about how cold they think it is. When I moved here in 2000, when it actually hit below 65 for the first time in November during the day, all the natives were breaking out the big coats and screaming that it is freezing and I would have been comfortable in shorts. Funny stuff.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-09-2004 08:28 AM                     It was 14 degrees in NJ this morning, so all you schmucks from out west and down south can have a good laugh! I just made my reservations for Florida.  |  IP: Logged Jon Bartow Master Film Handler Posts: 287 From: Massachusetts Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-09-2004 08:40 AM                     Scott, you must have the warm spot up here. My thermometer said -5 this morning. (that's five below zero) I grew up in Maine, and let's just say that I know from personal experience that diesel fuel turns to a gel instead of a liquid at about -40, and that by adding kerosene you can drop that to about -50. I remember once growing up that they canceled school for a few days because all of the busses had had their fule turn to gel (engine heaters only heat the engine, not the fule tank!)

I'm happy, though, if I can stay warm (but not "toasty", I like it a little on the cool side) and work without having to get out in the mess. Big trucks are hard to keep warm in the winter, especially if you're not pulling heavy freight, so I'm freezing my bejeebus off running the NYC/NJ area! quote: who want's to bet that those dumbass French will propose to the IEC to change the word "motorcycle" to "motorhertz"?
