Re: Not 30 Below Zero
I would love to see Northern Minnesota on a snowmobile someday...with about five layers of clothing on!
Raining here for three days now-I'm pretty tired of my hibernation this year!
Must seek sunshine....

Re: Not 30 Below Zero
Sunny with a high of around 67*F and a low of around 43*F ABOVE zero here today. Beautiful weather, but the previous foul weather and the flu put a damper on my fun.
I don't think I'd survive long up there before freezing to death. I'm too warm blooded:)

Re: Not 30 Below Zero
My aunt lives in Idaho and i have asked many times why anyone would want to live in those temperatures ice & snow. She always says because its home. I am guessing you would get the same answer from those that live in tornado alley. The only feasible reason i can see to live in conditions with temperatures that cold would be the lack of insects to aggravate you.69Ford wrote:20 to 30 below zero tonight With windchill to minus 50 below.

When I start thinking it is cold here in Tehama County, I call and talk to my oldest Daughter who lives in Fairbanks Ak and all of a sudden I feel warm
