Pete, when you get to be as old as me and the dinosaurs, anything below 40 will make you want to stay inside for a while.

40 isn't too bad. Not enjoyable but not terrible.

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!

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.

*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.

No I've never had an issue with wet panties. Likely because I don't wear panties...

Anyone seen Brent around lately? He's been awfully quiet here in the O/T.

I'm sure he'd have an inappropriate comment on Lisa having a flashlight in her mouth...

Aw hell I'll just say it.

I bet that's not the only long hard thing that's been in your mouth lately!

Sorry Pete, my mistake.

Jim's right about panties by the way.

You're probably right. The sad part was, it wasn't that long, maybe 4". Man I really need to raise my expectations...

I will say though..that flashlight stayed on for HOURS after that...

For any of you who might think that was mean...see below comment in which Pete commented about large items entering my mouth.
