Its 3am and I can't go back to sleep. Thought I would go out and break something, changed my mind after reading the thermometer. 36 degrees here tonight. I know I have no room to complain with the layer of ice over the rest of the country. So there you have it: IM A WIMP.
This is what separates the men from the boys...warm coat, and layers! ;)
Just teasing ya Cajun. I can't sleep a lot so I've adapted to working in all the temps I get here on my sandbar. For example..an this will make Sledge cackle in glee...it's 35 here right now. lol. Don't get to happy Sledge, it'll be warming back up at the end of the week!
If you work outside, layer up, use work gloves with some hand warmers. I got a shop below the house(Its on stilts, the house..not the shop..) but it's not heated other then the heater I put in there some times. I work outside an inside tho.
Getcha some good cold weather gear that you can work in, an times like this won't bother ya. ;)

I know what you mean, NHscrapman. I moved here from Iowa 22 years ago. I went back last Sept (delayed trip two months specifically to avoid the heat) and still had a hard time dealing with the heat even with central air conditioning.
It's been unusually cold here in Sacramento too. 28 right now. If it was much colder here, everyone's houses would be flooding from frozen and burst pipes!
16 degrees with some snow. went up to the gas station with my shorts and sweatshirt on this morning. used to wear shorts year round but thats changef the last few years
LOL
I'm not the one complaining about the cold. ;) I know how to layer thank ya very much mr.sledge!
NH your quote is going in my file! Feel free to add it to the thread if ya like!
Sirscrapalot - Cold day at the beach is better then anywhere else, suckers!
If it was not for the cold, I would not have an excuse to stay inside and read all the threads on SMF. Woke up to -20 with wind chill of -40. All of the machinery is frozen, jelled, or both. Dogs refused to go outside. Fire place is burning, computer on, and remodeling on the agenda. Yesterday it got into the mid teens, a heat wave. Even changed the oil on my truck.
Ha! You know it's cold when the dogs refuse to go out. lol.
Think it's cold where you are...This oughta make you feel down right hot.

Sirscrapalot - Put that in your pipe an smoke it. - Old saying my Nana uses. lol.
-93 C? I think most of us canadians consider puttin coats on at that temp! LOL for real though thats nuts.
Sir,
When we think we have it bad, somebody is always worse off. You put a little warmth in my step. Can you imagine the number of layers that would be required to stay warm?
My dogs are smarter than I am. If they do not want to go out, I know the machinery will not fire up. My grandfather had a saying that sums it up - Horse sense is what a horse has that keeps him from betting on people. Sorry I do not know who first said it or I would give them credit. Maybe Yogi.
36 Would be quite nice about now. For a day time high or night time low.
I bring a lot of my smaller stuff into the basement to work on. I do have a heater in the garage, but it is way underpowered for that area. Only 1500 Watts. Truck said -16 this morning when taking in some transformers(Alum wire).
What we do on a long weekend in February? Go south to New Hampshire and go camping,,,,,,,on motorcycles,,,,,during a Blizzard!!!!!

I made it through the winter last year with a long sleeve blue jean shirt. I actually don't remember it getting below 40 around here last year. Just when I think I have her figured out, Mother nature throws a curve my way.
Just so everyone knows, after drinking a few cups of coffee, I manned up.
Eh...I went to the warehouse today for an hour or so...The temperature...
8
One hour was about as long as I wanted to play with stuff lol.
