Oh we have a 15 mph wind here. That's a -37 wind chill factor.
Springfield, IL (your profile) is showing -9/-14. Is that where you're at?

Edit: Fairbanks, Alaska is 35 LOL. You can take a vacation there to get a tan.

That's the temp at the airport. My own weather station shows -14.2 with 15 MPH winds.

For some reason the airport and downtown is always warmer than temps taken elsewhere in the city

It's all that CO2.

I know, holy sht. Forecast today for Fargo, ND: -29/-45 Wind Chill warning

Issued by The National Weather Service
Fargo/Grand Forks, ND
4:08 am CST, Thu., Jan. 15, 2009

... WIND CHILL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST TODAY...

A WIND CHILL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST TODAY.

VERY COLD TEMPERATURES IN COMBINATION WITH LIGHT NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILLS OF 40 TO 60 BEL0W ZERO THROUGH NOON. WHILE TEMPERATURES REMAIN COLD THIS AFTERNOON... WINDS CHILLS SHOULD IMPROVE AS THE WINDS WEAKEN.

A WIND CHILL WARNING MEANS THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD AIR AND WINDS WILL CREATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILL VALUES. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA OR DEATH IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.

It's not too bad actually, but I've lived in MN my whole life. I can understand people that moved here and freak out though, lol.

Dude. After reading your posts and seeing the muscle man pictures you've posted would you visit you?

Hell yes I would! Having a friend like me comes in damn handy if you're ever drunk and obnoxious. :)

He's a big softie in person. Remeber not to bend over to pick something up around him though....just saying.
But if he's a softie, as you say, he won't get anywhere. I wouldn't worry.

That's what Viagra is for, Sugar Tits.

I flew in on a Monday Morning flight to Peoria for what was probably the first and last time and went to the dealership across from his workplace and he did not roll out the red carpet for me.

What makes you more special?

Probably has more to do with concrete and asphalt than CO2.

On the 21st of December I got up at 8 AM to head from a friends house to beat St. Pauls snow emergency. It was -17 and while my car started, my fan for the heater wouldnt. I let it run for about 20 mins and still no go. I parked it in a lot behind his condo off Dale and Shelby and came inside for about 10 mins to thaw. Went back out and still no luck. Now I am facing driving 45 miles back to Albertville with no heat and nothing to defrost my windshield. Then magically the fan turns back on!

Damn german engineering!

A4 owner here.

btw is it me or has the past two winters been unbelievably long cold up here? Hope the ice thaws out before the end of April unlike last year!
