Stay warm! If you can. Maybe you need some good antifreeze.

Your teeth hurt, your bones hurt. At about 40 below, if you spit lightly, sometimes you can hear it 'crack' as it starts to freeze before it hits the ground. Stay warm! If you can. Maybe you need some good antifreeze. Antifreeze

By coincidence, it is our local winter fest tonight. Gonna go do some frozen turkey bowling...with antifreeze , maybe play some 'hockey-stick pool', sing a couple with my old band

No thank you. I prefer to live where we see green grass 12 mos. per year, where we really don't wear coats that often.

I once worked a week in Jamestown and Fargo, and locked myself out of a rental car @ -33 F. Luckily the only locksmith for 100 miles was across the street and he got me back in the car--for a price.

All I could think of is why all those big farmers even think about raising cattle that far north? At least the row croppers can head for their houses in South Florida for the winter.

Other than cold temperatures, I've also written off living anywhere they don't have good pulled pork barbecue Memphis Style. That means I have to live south of Louisville, east of Texas and not in Florida.

They don't call the area you live in "America's Icebox" for nothing!! Those temps will cause the locals to move the brass monkeys inside for the night.
In a little over a week and a half we're heading for South Padre Island, TX for the month of February. I checked the temp and it's only 67, going to a high of 70 today.

My dad was raised in International Falls andI grew up hearing about the weather there. BBBrrrrr.

I hear it is colder than my first wife back there.

Great. They just downgraded the forecast. Not supposed to break above zero for almost a week.
Who's ur Dad, buzzardbeak, if you don't mind my asking? Small town, likely that I know him.

63 here today, highs in the 20s starting Tuesday....ugh.

Rode my motorsickle all day today, on board thermometer showed 77F, 71F by the time I got home at 5:30pm. I wore my perforated jacket so I didn't overheat.

Sorry about the crappy shot, but fingers get a little stiff after about twenty seconds at 38 BELOW!
That's about what it bottomed out at on my way to work early this morning.
Any one dare me to touch my tongue to THAT pontoon? I gonna blow some of this crud YOUR way, so phbttbbtht.

Frozen Turkey Bowling......that's gotta be fun...

Wow. Altough it cooled off a bit here in Louisiana, last weekend it was almost 80, and we had our Mardi Grad boat parade. Perfect weather.
