Icestorms and hundreds of thousands of people without electricity? Where do I sign up?

I might have to queue a very long skill, though.

I'm from southern Europe, I thrive under a hot scorching sun, dressing as lightly possible.

Whenever I'm exposed to temperatures below 0 C I turn into a total wuss, hide under my bed and refuse to go outside.

I seriously cannot fathom living around -30 to -70. That sounds like science fiction to me.

I can't even understand how civilization ever developed at those latitudes, particularly back when there was no heating technology. Really, what were Scandinavians thinking, did they hate life so much they figured they would go up north and make themselves as miserable as possible under such cold temperatures?

we nords have a racial trait that grants us 50% resistance to cold. don't you know anything?

it's like 10F at the moment but it's supposed to start dropping before too long to like -20F as a low today/tonight. basically it's going to be like what Kurt Russell and the oatmeal/diabeetus guy were dealing with up in the artic in "the thing."

minus the weird mutating alien bloodborne pathogen critter.

-29 F this morning. I was surprised that my van started. However, the drivers door didn't want to close properly so I got to listen to the *ding, ding, ding* all the way to work at the public school building where I'm considered "essential personnel" so I had to work today and I'll be in the building in misery because I forgot to bring my coffee but I stopped at my local convenience store and bought two Mountain Dew Kickstarters and two Starbucks Frappacino's so I'll have a little bit of caffeine to keep me warm while I sit around hoping that the heating system doesn't crap out and turn my building into a glacier.

God, I love being a Minnesotan.

I got in the car about an hour ago, and the thermometer read 13 degrees Celsius. Shocked

Seems like early spring in the Dutchlands.

Time to get rid of the winter tires again. P

-30º F and -70º F equal to -34º to -56º Centigrades. The absolute lowest record in my country are -32º C, and that was in the worst cold wave ever, in 1956, and at a mountain lake 2,000 meters above sea level.

So, as yet another southern European, I can tell you why people lives up there in the cold: everywhere else was already taken.Lol

Like I told you yesterday, Ish. We Minnesotans offset this dire cold by having miserably hot humid summers. Shocked

Everything in moderation. We even enjoy bland tastless foods while we endure.

The Minnesota State Bird. The Mosquito. How could I forget that.....

Best thing is that during the winter, they're easy to see since they're all wearing parkas.
