Deep Freeze

Yah... here it is currently negative seventeen with the wind chill. Im still considering taking a walk outside. But probably wont take a long one so I just did thirty minutes of aerobic excercise indoors.

All the schools have two hour delays because the cold.

 

Wow, that's crazy. I couldn't cope in that kinda weather anymore, I'm too used to these mild English winters. It's about +4C today and I was actually cold, haha.

 

atleast my balls drop back down...it feels like -18 out right now, buts its around -2

 

Welcome to my world

 

That has always killed me. Ohio used to close their schools when it snowed. If we delayed/closed school every time it got cold or snowed I would still be in Grade 5.

 

Haha... Well, when I was in school they never closed or were delayed because of the cold. Guess that's a new thing, idk.

 

we had maybe 4 or 5 snowdays a year here growing up...but it seemed to snow more back then

yea, its 8 degrees right now, and blindingly sunny

 

I definitely remember having snow days as a child. I would say at least two a year where I went. Sometimes more.

 

How glad I am that the unbearably cold days have been few here. It's snowed an awful lot, we got a foot and a half one weekend, but Daniel and I still walked a 3 mile roundtrip all 3 days (3 day weekend because I was called off due to snow), to get something to eat and cigarettes for him. It was about 33F on average those days, but it was tolerable. Luckily the below freezing days, I've been behind the grill at work, so I didn't get to feel much of the biting cold.

 

When I first moved to Portland ten years ago, there was an bad ice storm. Coming out of my apartment, I was mesmerized by hundreds of little fruits encased in ice on a tree and proceeded to fall down the icy stairs and hurt my hiney.

 

I don't mind the cold really, i guess i'm lucky

 

it's cause we're canadians and we have the "balls" to deal with cold weather

 

I just checked the latest hourly weather observations and it's 11 Fahrenheit but the windchill factor makes it feel like - 5 F which really isn't too bad from the windchill factor earlier today when it was - 20 F.

Our weather is relatively mild compared to places further north in Canada

So not to be out done...... I checked the hourly observation on Mount Washington, NH (which has some of the worst weather on earth) and it's currently -21 F with winds of 107 mph, gusting to 117 mph, with a windchill factor of -71

dam i wish i lived somewhere that i could sit in my warm house and watch out my window the showpows clearing the road and the railway. rotory snow plows are so totaly cool to watch. you know, looking like there's almost no road or tracks ahead of them and then comming allong and tossing this arching plume of snow over to one side and this sharp edged cleared space of road or railway behind them like they were making it by magic or something.

argh. not that i like being out in the cold particularly. but there are somethings about a good snowfall i do love. espcialy the way it hides all the trash and crap. at least out in the country. cities i don't know about. i don't care much for cities anyway except to visit and ride the trolleys and eat at odd and interesting restaraunts and go to university engineering libraries. and since the one i'm living in has neither snow nor light rail nor a college in it, i don't much care for it either.

just one of those wierd circomstances of my life that i've ended up living here, and for so damd long as i have. more pictures of snowed in places please. i think those are just totaly cool. especialy if you've got any with trains in them.

Hehehe, I think you all are just jealous because you didn't get snow or cold days when you went to school.

 

The only problem is that nobody can tell because they are contracted all the way up into your chests.
