Any comments from the locals up there?

bad analogy, i think the snow is affecting his brain

Bah, those pussies should move to Fargo during the winter.

Weather for the next week. Note-These are real temps. And after living in Fargo for 5 years I can tell you the wind will be whipping about 30-40-mph easily pushing those windchills into the -70 range.

it's all GWB's fault

It's almost 70+ here in TX.

To make this political, global warming has been kind to us in the TX Panhandle.

How do you figure with those temps?

From the article:

The village?s power generating plant quit at about 5 p.m. Sunday during a blizzard in which 70 mph winds drove temperatures to 20 below zero ? 60 below counting the wind chill.

By Monday afternoon temperatures had risen ? barely ? to 10 below zero with a wind chill of 50 below, according to the National Weather Service.

I guess Genx87 is talking about the -70 range.

Although the temps in Fargo are cold, they are not as cold as Alaska.

 

[kage69]

I don't care where you live, -20 is COLD. Add windchill to it, and damn...that'll ruin your day.

 

[ECUHITMAN]

Agreed.

EagleKeeper, your sig is not entirely true. An Eagle has never been lost in air-to-air combat. Several have been shot down by surface-based systems.

 

[piasabird]

One question I would ask is what did they do before electricity was used?

Maybe as natives they are getting soft.

 

[piasabird]

I was stationed in Alaska and they use to run in Anchorage when they had lows in the morning (6:00 am) of 5-15 below zero with bacalavas on. I have seen even in anchorage temps where the low was below zero for over a week. In some climes in Alaska they get lows of -40 degrees, where your mustache and hair can get so cold that it falls off like chattered glass.

If you live in Alaska you have to be prepared for extreme conditions that people in the lower 48 states are not really prepared for.

Hey, I live in Fargo too. This winter actually seems kinda mild compared to some of the winters of the late 90's.

I would think you would have to be an complete frozen idiot by now if you lived that far up in AK and you had heat that required electrity and you didn't have a generator or some other back up.

Wind-Chill formula recently changed. You will notice that it is much harder to have low windchills now, because the formula is warm heavy.

I beg to differ. Check your PM

I lived there from 96-01

First winter up there was the floods. Spent most of our springball sand bagging hehe.
