    Arrow Yep...that qualifies...

    AS WAY COLD......

    The mercury dipped down to somewhere between -26 to -33 degrees below the doughnut tonight, depending on which weather report you wish to believe...

    I'm not complaining, since I choose to live here, but DANG...that's a cold bugger out there tonight!

    On the plus side, Suzy cranks over & lights right up, like she can't hardly wait to go tearing around in this uber icebox I live in...

    Took a cup of steaming hot water from the coffee machine outside & made my own personal ice cloud... VERY little water hit the ground.

    See this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJzEwP8uea4

    I tell you, the ways to entertain myself in weather like this are almost endless!

    The craziest thing I've seen so far? The guy who walks laps around my parking lot for exercise most mornings at 0530...IS OUT THERE THIS MORNING!
    I think I'd better keep a camera on him, just in case he freezes up.

    Hope all my VX Fam is staying warm & toasty this winter....

    Winter has hit here in Orlando too. High around 50 today with a low near freezing tonight and a few nights this week. Don't think i can make any ice clouds tho. I'd try it if T4B was standing around close by...lol...j/k, bet there'd be more than water hit the ground, would be worth it tho.
    Did get to enjoy a white Christmas in Okla this year (100 miles North of Scott Harness) woulda loved to have the VX in the snow...don't think hardly any vehicles moved for 2 days. It's funny, they don't have the equipment to handle even a light freeze and people don't have a clue of how to drive.
    To live in an area that gets to -33 by choice, only confirms what some suspect of you Ldub....there's a VX'r in Austin Texas (can't think of her name) but she has a name more appropriate to you..or a portion of her name....
    One time when i lived in Lubbock Tx...it got really cold like that..I was out walking around and found this very unusual clear blue thing laying in the snow (about the size of you fist). I took it in and set it on the table, it thawed and went (insert the sound of passing gas here). That's just way too cold.

    OK, Billy's done it again 'bout his weather.....let's all get him back this summer, when it's 110 or so in Tucson , call up this thread and give him your temp (well Handee you may need to skip this one as Orlando in summer is wayyyyy humid).....
    In August I'll be able to write we're enjoying a balmy 80 or 85, 17% humidity up in my mountains, how 'bout you???

    'course we've learned he loves to torture his body, so maybe he likes riding in 110? j/k

    30+ years of Tucson summers...I have sort of climatized. The heat does't bother me to much...just wear minimal clothing (I only own 2 pair of long pants) and drink a LOT of fluids. But I HATE cold weather. I would much rather brave the dry heat.
    Snow is nice...if I can drive there, play, and then leave it behind! Mt Lemmon is only 2 hours to the top, 5ish if on my bike! Or if I want to be more adventurous I can go up the back "road" which I have been itching to do after we get a few fresh feet of snow on it! Should be fun.

    i love the cold. personally.... its the damn heat that i cant stand...

    anything above about 70 and im miserable.

    although, -33 is too much for me. i feel for ya dub.

    im comfortable in my regular shorts and a t-shirt up until about 10 degree's then i have to get the pants out.

    it works the same way in reverse billy, your acclimated to the warm, im acclimated to the cold.
