30 - 50 below zero? Thurs morning esp.? Farenheit wind chill.

[pipeline triker]

Been super cold here, schools all cancelled, church and many other things. We had -18 yesterday with -45 windchills. Today it feels warm @ -8 with wind chills around -20. My dad is in Florida right now and says it is to hot for him its in the 80's. My free air sleds are sure fast in these temps though.

-40F = -40C.
I always thought that was neat.
Carry on......

The parts washer is the same sink the dishes get washed in.

sounds like my kitchen...and the oven is where you bake on spray paint and make pizzas

The town is called "San Antonio de las alazanas" and no one can tell me what that means in Spanish,

from Wikipedia: "A mayan inscription decoded by scientists of the Eden Project indicates that San Antonio de las Alazanas is the safest place on the planet able to withstand any natural disaster that will occur during 2012 apocalypse."

Which is obviously why you are still standing now in 2015

so there`s that. You`re all set.

I guess the Mayans knew a thing or two about marketing. Legend has it that property values in the area skyrocketed soon after the stone tablets were made public.

Big surprise here, -33C (-27F) on the truck dash this morning. Not sure what the wind chill was, didn't pay attention. At least the cats have a never ending supply of ice to lick on the inside of my new windows. What else is there to expect, I live in COLD Lake for frig sakes lol, nuff said;-). Hualtuco Mexico in February is looking mighty good right now.

After -20 air temp nothing matters anymore. You can only get so numb. I worked outside for the whole Polar Vortex last winter. I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and I don't ever remember it being that cold for that long. I had to put wool socks on when I would go out and sunbathe in my speedo.

it is colder than a witch's tit here right now

Exact Temperature of Witch’s Teat Eludes Scientists
February 11, 2012 by Editor

Local Wiccans Resist Thermometers

ORONO – You may have heard some crotchety Downeast Mainer say that it is “colder than a witch’s teat” outside, but how cold is that, exactly?

Researchers at the University of Maine are determined to find out.

UMaine Climatologists Evan Urqhardt (left) and Jeff Churchill, doing something scientific.

“Usually, when someone says it’s ‘colder than a witch’s teat,’ you can assume the temperature is less than ten degrees Ferenheit,” says UMaine climatologist Jeff Churchill. “But there are variations, depending on whether the person was simply going out to get the mail, or was maybe trying to chop frozen firewood.”

Furthermore, sometimes people will instead say that it is “colder than a witch’s tit,” but there is no empirical data showing whether they are simply eschewing specificity for rhyme, or if they are referring to an entirely different temperature.

“From a scientific perspective, it’s frustrating to not have precision,” says Churchill.

So his team of researchers set out to measure the exact temperature of a witch’s mammary anatomy, but found a surprising dearth of female Wiccans in the area willing to subject their nipples and/or breasts to the climatology department’s two digital electroscopic thermometers, purchased with a federal grant in 2009 for $20,000 each.

“The number of people in Maine who are willing to self-identify as Wiccan, even for an anonymous academic study, is startlingly low,” said Churchill. “Of the few who did admit to some Pagan beliefs, none so far will let us hook them up.”

Gretchen Stanhope, President of Central Maine Wiccans, told The Sardine Report that the notion that witch’s teats are colder than anybody else’s is an unfortunate prejudicial stereotype.

“Every part of my body, breasts included, is quite warm, actually,” Stanhope insisted, a claim she regrettably would not allow this reporter to validate. “On behalf of Wiccans everywhere, I resent the idea that we should be ‘studied’ in such an objectified manner.”

This is what Gretchen Stanhope might look like if she were a real person.

But Churchill argues the potential benefits to science outweigh the risk of individuals taking personal offense. “Once we know the precise temperature of a witch’s teat, we can calculate how many of them we would need to place at or near the equator to counter the effects of climate change.”

When informed that participation in the study could lead to an all-expenses-paid trip to the Caribbean, Stanhope immediately called the Climatology Department to volunteer.

Wind chill, like counting the prongs on both sides of a buck's rack is an American thing.

When I tell the odd gringo that wants to talk weather that I was doing door to door sales once at -76C with the wind chill in Regina years back and they think I'm lying. Heck, it was only -42C on the thermometers that hadn't frozen. That's the only number that matters when your trying to keep the beer bottles in the trunk from freezing cuz of the crazy laws against keeping them warm inside the truck cab.
