fuzzybear:
I remember once looking out the window and the thermometer was at -40.  A week and a half ?

You have a great sense of humor to put up with that.

I could not do it.

I hear you, fuzzy.  We've been having similar temps.  -40's F at the airport, -30 F at my house this morning.  Supposed to warm up tomorrow or Sunday.  Here's hoping...

Just watching the show "Flying Wild Alaska" ... they just said the teen suicide rate up there is 9 times the national average. Sad, sad. The notion of living in Alaska seems romantic but I think the reality is a whole different thing.  :-\

Right Arky. I just got back from a long walk around my property and was sitting here thinking as I read some of these posts about -30 degrees ...how good we have it in the South. Doesn't mean I won't be complaining about the heat come July and August though.

It's not all that bad, we don't even need air conditioning here in the summer. Sure some use it, I never did, just a ceiling fan. Sure it can get toasty in a house, but usually it passes in a day or two. Believe it or not I knew quite a few old timers over the years, and as hot as it can get up here, they don't even want a fan on them. :D :D I don't care where you are 90 F with humid air is miserable. :D Even 85-90 F dry heat in the house from the furnace is pretty tough to, I prefer about 70. ;D

Well, guess I need to feed the furnace before crawling under the wool blanket for the night. :D

Complaining about the heat in july and august is a God-given right of all southerners.  ;D

It's hotter than all get out here again today as well.  I just cant take this heat anymore.   :-\  Even the shade was too hot fer me today.  Give me the cold any day atleast you can put another layer on.  You can only take so much on before you're down to your skivvies.   :D   It's kinda hard to have no clothes on while you're cutting, grinding and, welding..... I feel like an Eskimo at a nudist beach on a hot summer day right about now.    :D  I better go take a shower now before I get myself sent to the boiling hot woodshed.    :-[
