-30/-40??  We need to install a wall up there. It's making the rest of us cold.

I don't know how you can deal w/ that. 50* is the coldest I can bear. Beyond that everything comes to a stand still for me. Like the air froze solid. I know... I'm a train wreck.

Don't you like the sensation of the breeze in your hair and your nostrils freezing shut when you first go outside ?

0 to -13 out today. Not quite as much breeze ...think I'll sit on the deck for a Margarita ! ;D

Flip flops, and a sun dress no doubt... Hardcore Yankee to the bone.

I slept w/ 700 pounds of dogs last night. Even for them the "pack competition" ends at 40*.
I have an outside pack, and an inside pack. They can NEVER cross paths unless they have a common enemy... cold! There is the occasional showing of teeth when one gets to bossy looking for a spot but I growl louder than all of them. Daddy Rules!

I just realized why I am mostly single...

I was told today by a coworker that saw me pull in on my scoot last night that he has hardcore biker friends that wouldn't even ride in the conditions I've been riding in.  Like the USPS,  rain, sleet, and snow.  And usually slow. 
He says he's gonna brag about me to them ha ha.

I get the same down here. Not many people use a scooter for Primary transport. Never mind in less than perfect weather.

Took up the offer of a ride to my daughters gymnastics thing tonight.  The wind is what really deterred me

I have No idea how you guys bear this kind of cold. I'm sitting on the couch w/ 3 dogs, and still my blood is ice cold.

Man , how do you tolerate all that heat ? More than twice as warmas it is here ...at least we still have the nice breeze .

Me... I like a little chill to the air . Reminds me of when I lived in Area Code 906 ! Maine's got nothing on that !

Thinking I may go try and get some fresh Brookies and skate a bit...Sunny out there, gonna need sunglasses on the ice .   8)

I used to live for the cold when I was ski'ing but now... Not so much.
In fact those 20* or less days were the best. The snow would be frozen hard as ice, and all the weekend warrior skiers would stay home. I'd usually have the mountain to myself, and could run as fast as my ski's could go.

Hunter mountain in NY was my favorite for those frozen days. It is a small mountain, and I could take a five minute run in about a minute and a half. Actually I'd still like to give it a go... I think I'll bring my own Morphine just in case. ;)
