you Know It's Cold When...

[woodworkingboy]

Alternating hands in front of the chainsaw exhaust gives only temporary relief.

Kaz touring this time of year, the kid has guts. Cool on the hospitality you gave, Pat.

a tiny underbed! [/img]

The springboard fell out.

--well you don't tug on Supermans' cape,you don't pizz in the wind ---

I believe Jim Croce had it as "don't piss inTO the wind"...but the point remains .

 

[Burnham]

The hardest part about peeing in weather like that is getting a shrunk up 2" penis out through 6 inches of layers of clothing .

 

[Underwor]

When you cuss and the words freeze, only to thaw out in the spring and fill the woods with obscenities (Paul Bunyan I beleive)

 

[woodworkingboy]

The first time I've ever heard Burnham complain about outdoor work!

 

[Burnham]

Oh, I can bitch aplenty when it suits me...mostly it just doesn't suit me . There are moments though...

 

[Greenhorn]

When Mexican employees actually wear more than a t-shirt work.

Maybe Mexicans up there, ours down here are bundled up like mummies long before I work in more than a t shirt.

Other than that I can only chime in to a "you know when its hot thread" , was whining about climbing and hands hurting the other day when it was mid 30s!

Cold is... when your guest from Japan agrees to another plate of pancakes to put off bicycling into the morning cold... ('cold' is a subjective matter, even though it is an objective scale; today is actually 'warm' to me).
I'll ride out the first few miles to show him a less-traveled way to go, thus avoiding work another hour

That guys looks super familiar to me.

Is he still around? I remember my dad playing host to a fella from Japan who liked to travel by bicycle. His name was Kaz too. That would be super weird.

You just yell snake and grab the little rascal before it retreats like a turtles head .

When piss freezes as it hits the snow...Yellowstone NP, January 1988.

Now that's cold!

 

[cory]

When your bike tires slide out and you crash when you are on a flat road going straight and there is snow or visible ice on it.

Been there, done that!!

 

[canadiantreeman]

When you have to stuff napkins in a Tim Horton's cup, set them on fire and heat up a lock so you can plow a lot behind the locked gate.

In the winter of '77 I lived for a short while on the banks of Lake Erie,I mean 150 feet away .I had a 200 watt light bulb under the hood ,the largest Die Hard battery Sears sold with a battery charger connected .I had to slip under that 442 Olds every morning and heat the starter with a propane torch before it would engage .

It never gets cold in Ft. Bragg, California. Well, compared to what you guys have to put up with anyway. It's been dipping in the low 30's lately. And that is cold for us! frost on the windshield. Ye ow!

 

[Al Smith]

It's supposed to hit 18 tonight .The really cold stuff won't hit until about a month from now if it's going to get that cold .

Actually we haven't had that 20 below stuff in years and only a couple times can I ever remember 30 below .If I never see it that cold again is just fine with me .I'd rather talk about it as be out in it .

 

[gf beranek]

Bound to bust some water pipes.

 

[woodworkingboy]

No water through the pipes for a week is pretty cold.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Let em drip!!!

 

[woodworkingboy]

An outdoor toilet is cold, just about wherever you are. Spiders

 

[Al Smith]

Let em drip!!!

That's exactly what you do .Believe it or not the hot water will freeze before the cold does .

 

[top_notch]

We had three days of neg 34 last winter and already a couple nights of neg 5 or so...but still not enough snow for my liking!

Dylan,
This was Kaz' first trip across the US. He is 22 years old. Maybe he looks now like your dad's guest did back then?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

When you are driving along and the rising fog freezes and falls like pixy dust in your head lights.

 

[woodworkingboy]

I was up in Willard's neck of the woods in late November and it was getting quite cold. No doubt shortly after it became really cold.

 

[Paul B]

When you take a whizz and it freezes before it hits the ground.
