your cold weather tip o' the day

[JohnCU]

hypothermia starts once your body temperature goes below 95F.
it's normally 98.6F.

that's not much margin. :hmm:

 

[FoBoT]

and water/moisture conducts heat away from the body faster than air

so staying dry is very important, and that includes sweat. don't let yourself sweat in the cold

 

[meltdown75]

never let them see you sweat

 

[JohnCU]

never let them see you sweat

they'd all sweat

 

[meltdown75]

John, do you know what cold weather is?

 

[Skitzer]

John, do you know what cold weather is?

Sure he does!!! He lives in "NORTH" Carolina.

 

[xanis]

John, do you know what cold weather is?

Seriously. Come up north and we can show what real cold is. :awe:

 

[JohnCU]

John, do you know what cold weather is?

dude it's 45 outside, i'm dying

 

[jlee]

silly John, it doesn't get cold in North Carolina!

Seriously. Come up north and we can show what real cold is. :awe:

PA is south.

 

[jlee]

Here you go, buddy...you can feel warm now

 

[xanis]

silly John, it doesn't get cold in North Carolina!



PA is south.

In relation to NC, I'd label it "north".

 

[MovingTarget]

Here in AL, anything below 60F is considered "cold". We have this thing called "fire" which tends to stave off hypothermia. You meat popsicles to the north should try it.

Dying at 45? Haha. I'm from MN and shoveled my driveway (multiple times!) last weekend from that storm. All I had was jeans a tshirt and gloves and I was sweating my ass off. Probably would have died from heat exhaustion if I had a jacket on. That was some damn heavy snow. I need a snow blower.

You sound like me. When I was younger and my dad had me shovel the driveway and sidewalk I'd be out there in jeans and a t-shirt because I'd be sweating my nuts off. Thankfully he invested in a snowblower a few years back.

 

[Aharami]

hahah.
its 23 here (<--I'm sure others from up north will laugh at this as well)

 

[jlee]

Not by much. Pfft.

 

[Jeff7]

Stand outside and look around.
If you see liquid water anywhere, it's not cold.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Wimps! It's 1F here and I'm going to take the dogs to the park now and then go running afterwards.

Yeah, I just moved into a place of my own in October and was thinking, "This driveway shouldn't be too bad." Now it's more along the lines of, "This is the biggest driveway in the damn world!" Solid workout, though, so I don't feel bad if I miss the gym. I'll suffer through this year and if it's bad next winter I'll probably end up getting one.

I'll be out working on my tan at 45 degrees!

 

[FoBoT]

 

[MotF Bane]

17F here, not bad, but the 25 MPH wind stings a bit.

45? Short-sleeves weather.

 

[Skitzer]

Well, it has managed to climb up to a scorching 13 degrees here but of course with the wind it is -4 degrees in actuality. Anybody who lives where it never gets below 32 degrees should quietly exit this thread ..... LOL.

 

[JohnCU]

all you crazy northerners.

it is kinda funny though, everyone is freaking out because it's going to be in the low 20's tonight, they're issuing cold weather alerts at work

 

[meltdown75]

i guess if you're dying in 45, you better not come here, or you'd just die.
