And I was 'cool' riding my motorcycle at -2'C tonight?
Nothing personal, but I'm glad not to live very close to you right now. And BTW our central heating circulation pump has seized over the summer, and won't re-start, so I'll have to replace it. As it is, I'm wearing a nice warm fleece so I can type without shivering.
It offers a wind chill calculation. A couple of minutes with a spreadsheet and it suggested I survived the equivalent of 30 mins between -17'C and -72'C.
wuss.
ReplyDeleteaww c'mon...winter is just getting started!
ReplyDeleteOh, that must have been the both of you i saw on the road at 6:15 this morning then eh?!
ReplyDeleteTouche, Randall, touche. I was curled up all warm and cozy in bed at that time.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.

You were shivering in -2'C??
ReplyDeleteWuss.
ReplyDeletei know what Marc's word of the day is...
(and I think he needs to be taken out back of the woodshed.)
Can't handle the language? You know what I have to say about that...
ReplyDelete:)
Marc - what's the wind chill at 90 mph?
ReplyDeleteMy jacket has a gap at the neck that lets the cold air in - you get this feeling of spreading chill, like a water leak, that creeps across your chest.
Back to the polders with you.
Marc - I found this page:

Maybe I could cope with a sask winter after all?
And, at least here it's a Drycold!
ReplyDeleteClever ad, Randall!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Toni. I forgot about the windchill factor.
I was only teasing anyway...
Rather vague results, wouldn't you say: a spread of 55'. Or did you mean 17-27?
What are "polders", Toni?
Anyhoo...
I think those are dome Dutch things.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what they do, probably keep out water or something like that, but it souunds Dutch to me.
Those crazy Dutchies!
ReplyDeleteYour...off. Lauralea will be sorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteI'd lend you a spare if I had one.
I know you would Christy.
ReplyDeleteAlways willing to give...
