Wimp. Go check your PMs.

 

no kidding!

 

Quit yer bitchen! Al Gore says it's warmer than it's supposed to be. Politicians want to spend our tax dollars to keep it from getting any warmer than it is right now.

It was 11 at my place at 5 this morning. If these mornings get much colder I'm going to have to wear a coat. It got up to about 35 later in the day. I guess there is supposed to be some snow/ice/rain storm tonight. Damn these gas guzzeling SUVs for giving our planet a fever!

 

It just snowed a couple more inches last night... I swear a few weeks back we were in the low 40s

Tonight it's right around 1 degree out and -14 with wind chill.... wish I woulda wore a jacket when I went to get groceries though

 

I lost track. Last time I watched the weather report it was cold, cold and more cold so I turned it off...

 

 

Just think... it is 33F where I live... and how much more up North am I?

 

I wore shorts and a t shirt to work today. It was 29* when I left and walked about 1/8 mile to my truck. I wasn't cold.

 

9*f is only like -11*c. It's been -11 almost every morning this winter here and sometimes all day. Just need a light jacket for that.
You don't know cold until you go through a solid week of -30 to -40 daytime temps. I saw that every year that I lived in Calgary and the last year I worked on a mobile service truck servicing trailers outside and doing service calls. Mostly jump starting trucks that weren't left running overnight.

FYI: -40*c = -40*f so it's not just a metric thing when it gets that cold.

 

why the freak would i want to put myself through that? i'm a country boy....from louisiana.... if i wanted to live somewhere cold i sure as heck would NOT have chosen new mexico..... i don't think ya'll getting it man... we are SUPPOSED to be in the desert..

i think

 

when it gets past -40 -45 I don't turn my truck off unless its going inside a garage. I leave it running when grocery shopping, when I go to the movies etc. I don't its funny to see a whole parking lot of trucks just sitting there idling.

 

Actually, that's what they do in Alaska when it gets that cold out... it's actually better to leave a truck idling up there then turning it on and off. No matter if it is diesel or gas.

 

weather channel says here in cave creek its 56* and feels like 56*........its soooooooo cold, it gets freezing at night, ive been tempted to sleep with socks on the last few nights

 

its 22 right now. one thing i hate about working inside a shop. we always having to leave the big doors open and the north wind is kicking me in the a$$.

 

It's all about altitude. Maybe the Sandia Peak Ski and Tramway a few miles away should have tipped you off that it might be cold there.

I lived in Rio Rancho for three years. I kind of liked it there. Ever been to Granny's K&I Diner on south Broadway for lunch? If not, I highly recommend it. If you're not a big eater just order half of whatever you choose. If you are a big eater then go for the gusto and take the full Travis challenge.
