Usually, I like winter
 
But not when it's -35F!!!!!! :roll:

I was outside for no more than 10 minutes and my hands hurt. My fingers are all red and tingly. They are already closing schools. Bring on the global warming, just a little please.

For you goobers that aren't cool enough to use the Fahrenheit system, -35F is -37C.

I hope my car starts tomorrow, it had a hard time this afternoon.

go buy an Optima battery. From what i understand they aren't as sensitive to extreme temps as regular wet cell batteries are

I've seen worse. On a snowboarding trip last year, we had to stay an extra day when a friends car decided not to start, it was -55F.

my house would fall over if it gets much colder.

Where abouts in Minnesota der ehh are you? International Falls?

The amazing thing is it really is only the northern Midwest that is in the deep freeze.

I'm just outside St. Paul, well away from International Falls.
When we got stuck in the -55F weather, we were in Biwabik, about 200miles north of St. Paul/Minneapolis.

Also, we dont' talk like that. You only hear that way up north where all the Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish settled. :lol:

Or rather, -18 1/3 degrees celcius.

Damn, that is pretty cold. It was around 25 degrees celcius today. 8)

In that temperature I think I would even be able to open the doors of my car.
