Before the "It's so cold" threads start

[AlphaTroll]

I hate sinus freeze.

What in the hell is that?

*has never experienced such a thing....does not intend starting now*

Oh - can we all act civilized for once and please post any references to temperature in ºC......and while we're at it, measurements in mm, cm, m, km....etc. or ml, l and so forth.

That's all - thank you.

Mine are all in C

Sinus freeze...you inhale cause you have to breathe, and not only does the inside of your nose freeze, the cold gets in your sinuses and the pain is

Like having ice-cream brainfreeze in your face.

Water main broke last night. We're still good, but some folks are in for a bad morning.

 

[unclehobart]

one of the mild 25cm~ offshoot mains or one of the mondo 70cm~ mains? ...possibly, dare I say, one of the central core century old meter+ mains?

 

[Professur]

Dunno, I wasn't digging. But it's dropped water pressure across a large chunk of the eastern south shore. And the area it's in is probably circa 1945.

You guys really should come out to California to visit me. The weather has been absolutely wonderful the last few days.

We had tons of freezing rain - I feel badly for those who don't have a garage or car port to park in/under. I was woken up by the sound of people chipping ice off of thier cars!!

BRRRR!!!

 

[Professur]

At least they're not sawing branches off their cars.

A CAB?! Bah! Give 'em a few sips of tequila and shove them out the door giving them the 'in my day' speech.

My mom really could give that speech...she grew up in Newfoundland...one day it was so stormy and she was at school...to stormy to drive and when my pop got there to get her his eyebrows were frozen with ice...she had no scarf so the teacher gave my mom hers and my pop tied it around her face and led her home...she couldn't even see...it was so cold he didn't want her eyes exposed!

 

[Professur]

More than once, I got fed a hot toddie unawares. Hot honey and lemon t'was. Or a milkshake with a hit of brandy before school. Small wonder I got booted from college.
