Freezing to Death
I may not make it through the night. It's 20 degrees and fixin to snow. WHO IN GODS NAME WOULD PUT THEMSELVES THROUGH THIS EVERY WINTER?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?.
It was 70 degrees at Christmas I was wearing shorts for God sake! Now I know why the rest of the world is always angry, IT'S BECAUSE ITS SOO COLD

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

I want some snow!
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: Freezing to Death
It's sixteen Fahrenheit over here in Wisconsin, and I gotta say it feels like a heatwave. Now those three days where the temp never got above zero? That was kinda unpleasant.
Re: Freezing to Death
Strike: Slash about 55 degrees off of that- in other words, the distance from your Christmas to now- and you get our lowest temperature this year thus far for moi.
EDIT: And its a balmy ten degree out right now.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: Freezing to Death
Salaam friends, I have urged my brothers in northern Illinois and elsewhere to wage jihad against the infidel Jack Frost. We have already been victorious near my mailbox, as we took the snow and threw it into the street, where it was crushed over the course of a few days.
When the temperature returns to 32 F or higher we shall march against the snow and shove it down sewers, where it will melt quickly.
The use of boiling oil and naffatun has not yet been approved due to discrepancies with local village ordnances.
Allahu akbar, brothers, and join me in putting winter in its place.
Salaam

Pull yourself together Strike! You are a TEXAN! So stop your whining and ACT like a Texan...er, except, like, after when the Cowboys choke or something...Originally Posted by Strike For The South
Sorry about that, couldn't resist. Hang in there. Like a Tony Romo turnover, so too shall the cold weather pass - no, wait, poor choice of words...

Re: Freezing to Death
It's been past -40 degrees celsius (I don't know what that is in that barbaric measurement you use) for the past few days. What the heck is going on???
Re: Freezing to Death
20 degrees isn't too bad. Are you in San Antonio or Lubbock right now? I lived near Fort Worth and it would drop to the 20s a couple days a year (around the same time we got our half inch of snow that would melt by the end of the day.

Interestingly enough, -40 is the one point where Farenheit and Celsius match up exactly.It's been past -40 degrees celsius (I don't know what that is in that barbaric measurement you use

And this is why Texas doesn't rule the world.
Besides, snow can be fun. And 20 degrees at night isn't really cold.

Re: Freezing to Death
Snow sucks and I hate it. That said, I'm with you Strike. I've lived in cold weather climates for many years and they can go to hell.
By the way, 20 degrees isn't cold at all. When the temperature goes negative or dips into the single digits, that's cold.

Re: Freezing to Death
Yeah, for real. A little frost and snow does not constitute "cold," Strike. Talk to me when you're afraid to touch metal with your bare hands, and then we may have a basis for understanding.
Re: Freezing to Death
Hmm....I don't get why cold is so bad.
I happen to HATE hot weather, which I call anything above 80 Farenheit. Can't stand it.
Cold, on the other hand, doesn't bother me at all. Heck, my ideal weather would probably be what they have up in Boston
