But - I appreciate that ice and compact snow just aren't as slippery below zero.<BR/><BR/>I have to be in ANC at the end of the month, and I'm really hoping it warms back up a little before then. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749898309498139507.post-56892222763249182372008-02-07T15:29:00.000-09:002008-02-07T15:29:00.000-09:00That does suck.

So don't feel like a wingy whinger.<BR/><BR/>After a week of this, when it warms up to -5 or 0, we'll be running around outside in t-shirts. Really. The human body's adaptive capabilities are pretty dang impressive.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142380580388373496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749898309498139507.post-91553849427434541322008-02-07T15:04:00.000-09:002008-02-07T15:04:00.000-09:00Wow.

I forgot about that one, I should add it to the list.<BR/><BR/>Other things I remembered this morning after getting some sleep.<BR/><BR/>Blue foam seats on the outhouse. I have running water, but I've used an outhouse at these temperatures. The blue foam keeps your bum from freezing.<BR/><BR/>The oil and lube in your car that is normally liquid isn't. It's a semi-solid. I have heaters on my tranny pan, oil pan, and a coolant heater. But your differential - yikes, the pumpkin doesn't contain fluid anymore, so your car just doesn't want to move, never mind the tires.<BR/><BR/>Nathan - I think they're both bad, but I'd go with being run over by the truck. You could always get prostethic ears! :)Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142380580388373496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749898309498139507.post-12478632608416499952008-02-07T06:56:00.000-09:002008-02-07T06:56:00.000-09:00In New York?

Its warm as hell, but when the earflaps are down, you can't hear anything.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm? Which is worse. Frozen ears or the probability of being run over by the truck you couldn't hear?Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749898309498139507.post-17331640192348990902008-02-07T05:53:00.000-09:002008-02-07T05:53:00.000-09:00I've heard college stories from when I was at Mich...I've heard college stories from when I was at Michigan Tech about forming the perfect spit globule, and getting it to freeze before landing. (Thus, bouncing)<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure the actual temperature, but during my stint at MTU, the windchill dropped to -78F, and they canceled class. At noon. My classes, of course, were over at 10AM...<BR/><BR/>I think there is danger with forming the perfect sized spit globule, however, because it involved wet lips in the cold for extended periods of time. I don't recommend it.Shawn Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186686711412505957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749898309498139507.post-66196666792646488842008-02-07T05:41:00.000-09:002008-02-07T05:41:00.000-09:00We have a name for people who consider satorial is...We have a name for people who consider satorial issues when the temperature is below zero - dead.
