Are you guys (and gals) feeling it, too?

Yeah riding home in the dark after a long work day sucks...

 

It's still inconceivable to me that you SoCal people call 50° cold. Yes, if that's the water temp and you're surfing. Otherwise, HTFU Nancy boy!

Paging @Faust29 - please explain to my good friends what cold is.

 

Im gonna speak on behalf of Faustie and show you cold.

...and hot.

 

I like it when it's really really cold out so I can ride the unicycle.

 

Hah! Yep I'm a Nancy boy, and 50 is coldish.
But our cold here feels colder than places I've been with lower temps.
Rode in 90+ deg temps with low humidity today..
you can keep the snow thank you very much.


And part of it is I get bronchitis in cold temps when I'm active outside. So there is that. I don't like coughing.

And if @Faust29 loved the -20 so much......

 

There is a point at which the Celsius scale and the Farenheit scale converge. If you've ever personally experienced that temperature, raise your hand.

 

Boone, NC. Winter of 94. Don't know date, but remember the day. Coldest spot in the continental US on that day.

 

Those are the days my eyelids freeze together walking to the school bus

 

I remember when i worked graveyard. I would cherish the first morning i came home and i could see my breath. That to me signified the start of fall.

I’m a much happier rider in cold weather and even if I’m feeling tight, overall still better.

 

I get where you are coming from but if you were born and raised here in the moderate climate that is So Cal, you’d know no extremes.

 

Not quite the -40 C/F, but it was -10F in Rock Springs, WY when I was there in 1985'ish. Quite cold enough.

 

We used to hold safety breaks in the walk-in freezer thinking we were safe in there...

 

Clearly if you cannot wear sandals all year long a place is uninhabitable.

 

You should check out Death Valley and Mt. Whitney. They’re not that far apart.

I wear wool socks every day.

 

The first Buffalo Bills game I ever went to... I saw people buy coffee to pour in their shoes. By the time it went from the cup to the socks, it was no longer scalding. People who bought beer that day, though, were the crazy ones... With the windchill, it instantly froze as soon as the cap was removed. Sort of a beer slushy oozing from the top.

Who thought an open air stadium was a good idea? And to point it at Canada?

 

Niagara Falls is fun when it's frozen... But don't stay too long like this guy.

We actually made it in the Buffalo News this day. We were the only ones outside looking at the Falls on the Canadian side. We couldn't hear the reporter over the roar of the wind and the Falls, so we moved inside for the interview. Good thing, because it gave the ink in his pen time to thaw out.

 

Could people get around in ice skates in those neighborhoods?

 

The knee deep potholes would prevent that...

 

So I'm in an ice cave with six other Marines. Under simulated attack, they took our sleeping bags. It was -9°F. It was a very long night.

 

And youre here to tell us all about it.

 

Huddle together skin to skin?

 

That traverse off of 3 is hard to do on a snowboard, but so worth it. Mid June 1995, I went up with a coworker, and we lucked into 6-12” of fresh, and Dry Creek all to ourselves from first chair at 7AM until about 10. Top 5 snow day for me...

and I love fall. I love my Pendleton shirt that I’ve missed all summer, the clear dry air, the light of a sun low in the sky. Growing up we did Disneyland once a year, in September.

I don’t like Halloween, I don’t like Pumpkin Spice. But Thanksgiving is great, I’m spoiled with aunts that put on a great meal and uncles that know how to tell a story.

 

@tick - Pumpkin spice rules!

(Just another reason I need to turn in my man card, I know).

 

I don't know about that. I ran out of coffee and tried one of Jennifer's pumpkin spice pods and it was rather good.

 

So cold boxing?
