It's not that cold right. RIGHT?!

[Mporter]

Sorry I just felt the need to vent. This recent weather change has produced a lot of the same up here in Boulder: snow, crappy driving, and complaint-filled Californians.

Last year we had at least an entire week of subzero temperatures during classes. I.e. up at 7am, out for class at 7:45am while it's at least -10 out.

It's still in the double digits (barely) and I've already heard a handful of people (most from LA, or somewhere in California) complaining about how cold it is outside....c'mon people, it's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We aren't even done with week 1 of December.

It's amazing how some of these kids were under the impression it wasn't going to get cold....in a mountain town....in colorado....

alright,

It's freeking cold (and I came from MN originally).
</rant>

I hate this cold.

[SCRubicon]

Maybe we can get Funrover to ride his MTB through campus wearing short pants. That would show em' :D

I'm with you Jackie, I came here to escape that miserable cold and last I checked it was warmer there. :mad:

See Matt, it's not just Californians!

[Mporter]

But at least you guys don't actively (as far as I know :D) complain about it....it's like every 15 minutes with these kids.

You guys at least expect it to get cold, it's like they don't.

I can start, can't I? Hell, I can whine with the best of 'em....

I didn't work in the garage today because it was sooooo cold! And my little feet and little hands became numbie...I had to pee and couldn't find...well....OK...found it, but it took awhile...I never knew that it would be this cold....

BACK IN 15 if I am not frozen solid!

[Mporter]

..I had to pee and couldn't find...well....OK...found it, but it took awhile..

:thumb: :lmao:

[mattzj98]

Ha! I worked in pants and a tshirt all day, its not that bad!! Try northern Europe! =) -35 and windy and humid or snowing was when we would go out sledding! I've only seen it cold here once a few years ago.. its not even cold enough for snow to stay haha

[Chris]

Tolerance decreases with age!

I just found out my youngest granddaughter, all glitter, dresses, bows, all dainty little girl loves the snow and cold. Her rough & tumble sister and brothers come in way before she will.

[Brody]

-35 and windy and humid or snowing was when we would go out sledding!

HA...was when your folks hucked you out the door and locked it behind you because you were driving them nuts is more like it...and you simply had to find something active to do so as not to freeze...Call it 'fun' if you like...

[Jackie]

AMEN! That's what my folks did.

"Be home for supper" (door slam).

Yeah, yeah, yeah, walked 12 miles to school too. Oh, and it was uphill both ways. :D

[Chris]

You want to get really depressed? I can whip up a quick list w/o giving it a thought!

Oh wait a second, what was I saying? :confused:






That would be number 2 on the list! :erm:

[Jim]

Dual monitor computer and the second monitor rolls through trip pix, while showing temps around here and back home... A tad warmer back home, discounting the California (highway 1) image in the background.

`head'n out for a movie. No cold issues there.

Fort Collins 3F, Littleton 1F, St. Charles IL 36F, Rockford IL 34F

i worked in the garage last night that was just below 70 degrees............i was sweating when useing the sledgehammer :thumb:

[Chris]

Heading out to a movie with your heated jacket, Jim?

[Jim]

Heading out to a movie with your heated jacket, Jim?

LOL - hmmm to find a theater with 12vDC plugs in the armrests!!

[Jim]

Not to beat a dead horse - but those electrically heated garmets are fantastic keeping one warm. If anyone wishes to try the jacket when out on a run - just holler - I'm willing to lend it out so you can give it a try. Once you try it you'll know how well they work. Temp control knob sits on the center console and I turn it up or down as I desire. 7p movie and it's 7p - later!

[Rob]

*Puts "Tolerance decreases with age!" on the list.

Might as well add "bermuda shorts and sandals with knee-high dress socks."

[mattzj98]

Jim...we should "invent" the "Electric Snuggy" :) Bet we'd make MILLIONS!

dont mean to burst your bubble but those exist.. in fact, my mom is using it right now

they were too busy working to on stuff to worry about kicking me out the door. this is what weather is like for months at a time. Make the best of it

[mattzj98]

Had somebody to drive me to school :P a whole 3 miles! and usually late. Heather knows a tad about this heh

[deederz]

I am loving the cold, when i was working on a presentation at 12am this morning i saw it was only 1 degree outside and got soo excited i ran out to go stand in it and enjoy the fresh air. The cold is much more comforting to me than heat... i dont say its cold until its -10... on the other hand anything over 75 and im constantly complaining its too warm. Dislike the heat!

[mattzj98]

got soo excited i ran out to go stand in it
:clap:

[Chris]

I'll be watching for you cold lovers ar the next Polar Bear Club event!

[Jackie]

I'll take an electric blanket and a nice comfy couch for the next couple months and call it "good".

[Pathrat]

Maybe we can get Funrover to ride his MTB through campus wearing short pants. That would show em' :D

Bet you could make that happen with little effort.

[Pathrat]

There can't be a post about cold to which I won't reply. It is almost expected by a few members.

I hate cold. It IS cold. So it is not frigid bone-biting North Atlantic cold. It's all relative. I am cold and I love summer. Sometimes more like a reptile than a mammal in my temp regulation. I only complain here though, on threads like this, because when it gets this cold, I feel bad for the homeless kids and adults out in in. This kind of cold kills people off regardless of whether it is "really cold" or "not cold enough to complain about". I am fortunate not to be out in it.

[Funrover]

:lmao::lmao::lmao: I already have enough issues in Boulder, I don't need to add another.

[Jim]

Movie, J. Edgar, was so/so. Surprised to NOT see negative temps now back at the keyboard. Zero in Littleton, so perhaps soon a neg will show.

Just posting here to say I enjoy seeing Funrover's avatar... Sparks the wanderlust to see what's over the next hill and around the next bend... Summer's coming and the top will be down!

[Brody]

Nicely said, Pathrat!

I once hitchhiked from northern New Hampshire to Seattle in January, straight across the top of the US. It got sporting more than a couple of times as I was camping out every night...It also got very cold.

Yeah, the sub/single digit temps tend to start killing people off and being out in the street in these temps is rough...

[glacierpaul]

Cold? You all need to come up to my house, there is a glacier nearby after all:rolleyes::)

[Fordguy77]

Im a fan of the cold, you can always put more cloths on and start a fire and such to get warm. But theres only so much you can do once the temps start reachin 80+. I cant stand the heat, ill take the cold any day. However its only 14 degrees out right now where i am at, and im walking around in short sleeves and jeans :)

My mentality exactly.

[Popsgarage]

some of these kids were under the impression it wasn't going to get cold

Cold was yesterday @ 7:00 pm standing next to a partially completed window setting the last couple pieces of glass. My two guys that were outside on the lift all day, they were cold.

[Popsgarage]

Run around naked and go swim in the pond in the back yard. At least that's what I used to do when it got to hot on the farm. When I was 10. As far as adding more clothes when it gets cold. I don't think I want to run around like the kid from A Christmas Story.:D

[Jackie]

And Britton walks around all day in shorts and a t-shirt. (Even the neighbors look at him funny). Then he comes home and without fail proclaims "it's hotter than hell in here" (because I've upped the thermostat to 70). :erm:

Glad i am not the only one who thinks this

[Chris]

Gotta ask you cold lovers - Do you just leave the furnace off?

Didn't think so! :lmao:

[mattzj98]

I'm never home so I couldn't tell you but my ac is on in the duramax right now =D

[Pathrat]

I am not coming to your house in the winter unless I am fully layered and with glove and hat.

[Heather]

Winter I think we're at 68-70...but we sleep with the fan on in the bedroom. With three dog bodies in bed with us, it gets hot quick!
