Still, that's nuts. I guess it kind of makes sense though. Allot of humidity up there with the Great Lakes there.

The great lakes keep us pretty cool. I feel like the last 3 years or so it hasn't been that hot. We used to get a lot of 95+ temps. Combine that with the humidity and good luck breathing lol.

That's what made me realize that it actually does make sense. Where I live in Texas, we have 3 lakes within a 30 minute drive. It gets very humid here.

It's not so bad unless the weather is moving up from the gulf. Then the humidity comes into play and it feels miserable. I spend a lot of time outside at night spring through fall and on those hot steamy summer nights I'll sweat bullets without even doing anything. All I have to do is spend five minutes outside and I'm soaked. And I'm rather lean without much body fat.
My GF great up in Arizona so I've heard a lot of stories. Like in the summer time, they rarely ever go outside.
A lot of her family come up to visit and it's so funny hearing them talk about snow, wearing a sweater in 80 degree weather, or being in awe of the grass and trees.

I pay for the winters with sweat in the summer....by the bucket

I like that mod, looked all over for one and can't find one now....Y'all are making me want coffee but I have to be in bed in a few hours.
I live in Michigan and the kids have had 9 snow days in the last 12 days. That's insane and never happened when I was a kid. Drive to work should be another fun one.
I just got done shoveling snow and it's just filling in again. Now enjoying some grape MTL.
Thought about making a for sale thread but I'm too lazy.

I do have a car from Florida. It was my grandma's. Pristine condition until some kids shot out the rear window with a BB gun.

I like it. Super cheap and with a 20700 battery, it can last days. Maybe try eBay or post a thread here.

I'm a shorty,lol. 5'9" and about a buck fiddy, give it take. It doesn't help that I've always had long hair and a baseball cap glued to my head.
I'm constantly wearing a hat myself. Got accustomed to it from work
Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk
Ha ha yeah I never take mine off unless we're stretched out watching a movie or sleeping. Otherwise it's always on my head. Been that way since I was a kid.I'm constantly wearing a hat myself. Got accustomed to it from work

No worries, I'm like 5-3, 150-ish, used to have long hair, used to also have hair on top of my head...SMH...
I took a couple pics on my walk to Dollar Tree to get cold meds and misc crap, I'll post after the games. It's shitty out there. About a foot+ of snow in the last couple days and more on the way...the plows just leave huge berms where the sidewalks used to be.
Sipping a nice DIY Tecate Chelada, loving the game @ 32 to 45, and Duke ain't winning.
Yea it's been crazy up north. I just want you guys to be safe up there.

Damn, that's nuts. That's just frostbite waiting to happenCould be worse bro, I got a buddy in Edmonton now where it's -30C with WC.
Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk
Yup, that's like -22F...Brrr.
Here, it's actually nice out except for the snow. Ain't gonna stop either...we can take it though. Not long ago we got like 60" in a month. THAT was insane.

@midknight420 I'm sure I've asked before and I'm sure you've said, but what part of Texas?
I'm in north central Texas, are you from Texas too? Where are you from? My city and state are actually in my profile when you click in my picture.
Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk
Yes, sir. Just north of Houston.
I used to live in Gatesville, just east of Waco and worked in Austin. I've been all over Texas LOL
Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk
I've lived in the Houston area all of my life.
Ha ha, Yeah the joys of getting old. The hair loss really hurts because I've always had long hair but now it's gotten to the point I may as well buzz it all off before I end up looking like Bozo.
I moved when I got married and college for a while. Now moved back to Wichita. Not exciting, but been around Texas a bit.
Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk
I buzzed mine off when I started balding in my late 20's. I'm not only a couple years shy of 50 and rarely miss having hair. Hair maintenance is so much easier now.
Ya, I started getting military cuts because it is easier to maintain and the heat at work myself.
Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk
I'd like to move (older I get the more the heat bothers me) but my wife doesn't want to and in my line of work I have to be near a large city and it would suck to have to start over loosing my 20+ years of seniority.
I fully understand. I'm in kinda the scheme boat myself, but the heat isn't the issue. For me it's that we have an eight year old and her retired mom. I'm not sure she could handle the tip.

Guess I should be glad my hair stuck around this long.
Here's those pics of the walk...I carried 4 grocery bags home in that mess.
Yeah, property owners are required by law to shovel sidewalks, GLWT..
Note that there is basically no sidewalk now next to 6 lanes of 45mph traffic. It's like walking on ball bearings in that slushy snow.

Yes you should. Hell, I'm the only male on both sides of my family who doesn't have full head of hair. I'm also the shortest and fattest. I think I got every recessive gene.Guess I should be glad my hair stuck around this long.
That's a whole lot of screw that.
That's ok, when I grow a beard I'm starting to getgray in it already
Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk
My beard is red and what hair I have left on head is reddish brown.
First off let just say that I'm sorry. Everytime the chicagoland area just misses the bulk of a winter storm that hammers Wisconsin I say " better them than us, they can have it".
Seriously though. I feel for you because I know Wisconsin has been hit all winter long with snow and below zero temps. It's been brutal here in the upper central US.
Yes, its a rough winter here. Of course, I lived in Chicago land my first 23 years. I remember the blizzard of 77. We didn't have a snowblower growing up. We did have the toro joke of a snow thing.Yikes! I should have taken some photos today. It looks like the same mess we have in WI. I do think we have a touch more snow.
Yikes! I should have taken some photos today. It looks like the same mess we have in WI. I do think we have a touch more snow.
Don't worry, they'll be making more very soon here. ;-)
I had to go get more cold meds as I'm nearly over it now, and best to do it before it gets cold again...
oh wow. I guess the deck was stacked against me because both my grandfather's were bald and same with my father. It's just been very hard for to accept because I've been a metal-head since the mid -80's so I've had long hair for a long time.
Ok, I'm done whining now. Carry on!
Yes, indeed. More snow overnight and possible rain which will freeze overnight on Thur night!
I hate colds. I rarely get them and I'm affected differently than other folks. I have a autoimmune disease and my system will attack within. I do get sick but it's hard to explain the "feeling".
