41 in the winter is warm, 41 in the spring or summer is cold. I have found that as I get older the cold bothers me. I have arthritis in both knees and right shoulder the cold and damp really makes them ache. Add that to the recent surgery and I'm a hurtin unit today!
Hope everyone is well. I am off today but just got word that a good friend and coworker of mind had a heart attack and died in his sleep over the weekend.
Sorry to hear about your friend, Scott.

That was just enough to have some fun with, but little enough to where it was normally gone pretty fast and very few folks were ever snowbound by it.
Yeah, snow gets old quick. The first storm of the season has its enchantment, and then after that its freaking annoying.

You're an animal.

*raises hand*
I changed out my CPS in -25 (actual temperature) and was prolly -35 or -40 with wind chill. Had my flashlight in my mouth and it froze to my lips.

Do your panties get wet when that happens? I hate snow soaked panties! lol
I think where Sheldon lives, its too cold for the snow to really melt, so no issues getting wet.
