I know, I know… I shoveled 14’ my last winter in PA, and I HATED it.
But here… Here they shut down for snow… free vacation day.
And my back yard would be so pretty with a 6" blanket of snow! And I have these great windows that I could sit in front of with my coffee (or a glass of wine…) and watch the squirrels play in the snow :-)
I have been waiting for 3 years now, and I need more snow than we had over the weekend to realize my goal :-)

@M36:
Yeah, it does get cold, but I haven’t even seen it rain yet much less snow. Lucky guys in Baghdad…
LOL, wait until Sept/Oct, you’ll regret wishing for rain. ;)
-
Thats when I got here Dezrt, I must have just missed it. :-(

Could be August, it only lasts a few weeks, but it’s miserable. All that dusty clay turns into wet clay and you end up being 3 or 4 inches taller from the mud stuck to your boots.

LOL, yeah, it’s in the mid 60’s here. It’s tough sometimes to make the decision to either wear a jacket or long sleeve shirt, especialy if I haven’t had any coffee yet.

and its going to be -8 without wind chill tonight. :| walking to and fro campus blows the big one.
but when i wear my down coat thats bigger than me, my thermal underwear, 2 pairs of socks, insolated boots, layers under coat, my hat, gloves and if needed b/c its freakin super freezing wind, my scarf, the elements cant touch me. 8-)

Given time Balung, the elements ALWAYS win. They are the one enemy that even the Corp cannot overcome. Just some wides words I remember from my days at Paris. :wink:

The worst I ever dealt with was -38F. I lived in an ancient 12x50 trailer at the time. I had frost INSIDE on my exterior walls to 12" above the floor (furnace could not keep up). When I went to start the car to go to work (a 1984 VW Rabbit) the starter made half a revolution then would not make another sound for 3 days until it warmed up.
I do NOT miss that crap!
:-D

do you measuere temperature in C too or only in Farenheits
how is it in USA
the other measures too
do you have kg, or the official is something else
i know you have miles, the rest of the world km
please tell me
-
Yes, we use Fahrenheit in the U.S.
And we use pounds (lbs) instead of kilograms.
-
USA uses the old Imperial measures rather than Metric.
Fahrenheit, Pounds, Feet, etc.
-
And why not? They’ve worked for countless generations, why change them now? What, just to make life easier, mathematically, for school kids??? Bah! Make em learn standard measure (what Switch calls Imperial). It builds character!
-
They teach Celsius in school along side of Fahrenheit. I can do both, but I think every American prefers Fahrenheit…
GG
-
To be honest, I never even learned how to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit and back until 1997 in Community College.
Before then, it was always just a guess that the temp was within 32 degrees of each other, but accuracy was never that harped on in school. And, to be quite frank, no one used Celsius anyway, the weathermen don’t, the people on the street don’t.
-
Like I said, who honestly in America prefers Celsius over Fahrenheit… As for Weathermen/women they at least had to learn it in school and the people on the street only need to understand comfortable, Cold, #@$%!! Cold, Really *$#%^@!! Cold, Hot, @#$%#$ Hot, and Welcome to Hell…
