ILSnwdog Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Back when I worked at UPS, there was a guy that worked for me named Larry. Larry was from Superior Wisconsin, which is just across the boarder from Duluth, Minnesota, on the banks of lake Superior. I ran a loading dock, and it could get damn cold in the trailers in the winter. One February in the mid 90s, we had a stretch of weather where it got down into the -20 range a couple of nights in a row. During that week, Larry still wore his cargo shorts to work. I told him he was crazy, and I'll never forget his response. Larry said in his thick northern Wisconsin accent "Cold? This isn't cold. You don't know what cold is!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it get ridiculously cold in Anchorage, or does your being on the coast moderate the temperatures some? I know it gets crazy cold in Fairbanks. I knew a guy in the Air Force who was stationed up there for a while. He used to keep keep a tin foil pan and charcoal in his trunk of his car, and when it was too cold to start, he put the hot coals under the motor and let that heat it up for a while just to get the damn car started! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to Fairbanks. Living in Anchorage is like living in Hawaii. :D It's not surprising to hear about what this guy did to start his car.

Starting a car when it's 18 degrees is usually no big deal. It's when the temps. dip below zero that cause the majority of problems. Thats what block heaters are for. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Woohoo!! 18 degrees in Myrtle beach this morning. Geez. Shrinkage!! :P It was seven below zero during my drive to work today.

The Analog Cub Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Averaging around 40ish since I got to England. Certainly better than Midwestern winter hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Waiting for the average temp to go above 60 here so I can start running again without killing my lungs. No idea when it usually warms up here. Hopefully it's not the same BS in Iowa where it MIGHT stop snowing and stay above 70 for good in mid-May.
