Tacoma Could Not Handle the Cold Resolution

I started a private conversation with you so we do not jack this thread. LOL

 

True as the term expresses a factor for the chilling effect of wind on exposed flesh making your skin colder than ambient; however wind can cause "things" with no flesh to lose heat faster (down to ambient, no less) than they would with lower velocity or no wind...

 

Absolutely true. That's why I look @ the flags or vapour trails. Park with the Rad. Not facing the wind.

 

It was 2.1 F last night its 3.1 F now.

 

Damn, I thought our 33° was close to bone chilling (been here in FL for 26 years now, getting acclimated I guess)...

 

Want a shock to your system, go live/work in west Africa for three years, then come back home for xmas to see friends in Calgary. Not so much fun. Although when I cam home in the summer time and I was wearing hoodies all the time and not sweating it freaked a bunch of people out.

Now I cannot handle the cold as well as I could.

 

My buddy worked in Alaska for a couple of years and mentioned that it got down to -20F (sometimes colder) during the winter. I just can’t imagine that kind of cold.

Here in San Antonio, we recently had the coldest day in about 3 years at 21F and that was absolutely bone chilling to me.

I guess when you have the proper equipment it makes life more bearable but I just cannot imagine living in a place where it’s routinely below freezing!

 

I lived on Cape Cod and in Maine for 45 years, been here 26 as previously stated.

I miss:

• Crisp, clean air--Florida has a permanent musty smell (that you do get used to eventually);
• Real seasons--we have 2-1/2. The "1/2" is nice/nippy, early-December through February, the other two are hot, and friggin' HOT;
• It is the cootie capital of the world, more damned kinds of bugs than you ever thought possible;

I do not miss:

• Scraping windshields and shoveling snow;
• Watching my vehicles rust out from under me;

If those are the price I must pay for "musty" and "HOT" and "cooties" then so be it...

Did I mention "Palmetto bugs"? But the good news is they are big enough you can shoot them.
