BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILL READINGS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS TEMPERATURES FALL TO A RANGE FROM 2 DEGREES ABOVE TO 5 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. WHEN COMBINED WITH WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH...WIND CHILLS OF 15 TO 25 DEGREES BELOW ZERO WILL BE COMMON. A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND GLOVES. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ventured out, 10 feet to the door to check the heat tape on the water pipes. It wasn't plugged in, so I had to pick up the cord and plug it into a metal receptacle. My thumb froze to the back of the socket housing within 3 seconds. I really need some gloves. Anyone else feeling a bit chill? Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Kastil on December 22, 2008, 03:45:34 AM Was outside shovelling today in that weather. -25 windchill aint nothin!
Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Jim Tressel on December 22, 2008, 05:16:19 AM In Columbus at the moment: 2 degrees, -16 with the wind chill. Yep, it's fucking cold, I'm at work, and the fuel pump in my Jeep is acting up so I have to drop it into neutral and feather the throttle to keep it running whenever I stop moving. Sweet.

I'm a whopper virgin! You just gotta dress for it. Unhappily I do work outside in this weather too and it just ain't fun any way you look at it. This morning -12, feels like -25.

Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Redbear8 on December 22, 2008, 02:09:24 PM You know what, you asshats choose to live up north, so you deserve such weather. Us innocents in the south are supposed to be spared. it's not right! -4 in Alabama is just STOOOOOOPID.

Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Jim Tressel on December 22, 2008, 04:36:07 PM Snacks, I will choke you to death with my weiner.
Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Redbear8 on December 22, 2008, 04:56:32 PM I wouldn't have to touch myself if you were all at my house for the get together. Then you could touch me instead.
Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Hottihealer on December 22, 2008, 06:29:13 PM OK,
Not going to chime in about California weather in respect to those that are freezing. Now if you will excuse me i need to head off to the beach. :o Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Snackcakes on December 22, 2008, 07:19:14 PM I wouldn't have to touch myself if you were all at my house for the get together. Then you could touch me instead. how can you argue with that logic? Load the bus, we are going to Alabama! OK, Not going to chime in about California weather in respect to those that are freezing. Now if you will excuse me i need to head off to the beach. :o Damn you hotti, just damn you. Although its not THAT cold in Ohio, only -10 with wind chill Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: ZONK on December 22, 2008, 08:19:17 PM It is 80 in Florida. Not to be mean, but to be honest, was kinda pissed it snowed in Las Vegas and I am sweating working outside in FL. I want some damn snow :-( I hate FL

Now if you will excuse me i need to head off to the beach. :o I'll take -16 over having my house burn down due to a wild-fire any day. I'm sure California is lovely, but that shit is happening way too often these days. I wouldn't have to touch myself if you were all at my house for the get together. Then you could touch me instead. Rand, that's uncalled for. You really shouldn't let your standards slip to such a low level. For all of you in the frozen North, my words of wisdom for the day: buy an anti-freeze tester and make sure you are good to -30F - don't trust what the mechanic says! My car overheated in less than 2 miles this morning, (2 degrees, -16 w.c. at the time) cause the dingleberry mechanic that worked on my coolant system two months ago couldn't master the intricacies of anti-freeze.

Did anything burst in your coolant system? Once the car got hot it didn't melt the coolant? Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Varg on December 22, 2008, 09:30:49 PM thermostat
Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: thrun on December 22, 2008, 09:34:03 PM thermostat I'm vaugely aware a car has one, but I have no idea why that answers any of my questions. Not that I am even sure if my questions make 100% sense. I fixd teh computerz. Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Kith on December 22, 2008, 09:35:32 PM No, following the coolant issues I had a few months ago, I still glance at the temp gauge from time to time and parked the car just as it was getting to the red-line temperature. Then it was a lovely process of 'lily-padding' home from one parking lot to another, stopping once the temp was getting close to red-line, popping the hood and waiting 10 minutes while our festive weather cooled the engine down - rinse/repeat until I got it home.
By the time I parked it at the house it was completely thawed, but it went back to visit the mechanic so they could flush the system and do it right this time. Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Varg on December 22, 2008, 09:37:55 PM The thermostat opens at certain temps (ie when it heats up and needs cooling). If the thermostat is stuck, it wont flow the coolant through the block and its will just sit there and freeze. Just an idea as its the part that fails the most.
Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Kith on December 22, 2008, 09:51:57 PM Possible, but if the antifreeze had been mixed correctly, wouldn't the coolant in the reservoir still have been liquid this morning?
Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Varg on December 22, 2008, 09:59:15 PM till he started driving and froze it in the radiator. Probably wrong, just an idea.

Yes. 50/50 ftw. Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Redbear8 on December 23, 2008, 02:13:53 PM A lot of anti freeze comes pre-mixed these days, however I'm not sure if your mechanic mixes his own or not. If he does he could very well have diluted too much to save himself money.
It could also be the thermostat, but my guess is that it was frozen when you got in the car this morning, not that it froze as you drove, so I doubt that's the issue here. Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Jim Tressel on December 23, 2008, 05:48:40 PM have you tried touching it in the back? I've had some success with that.
Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Gristle on December 23, 2008, 09:10:22 PM Pass on the earthquakes, wildfires, liberals, and ridiculous cost of living because of all the illegals.
I'll take Georgia for 500 Bob, where the men have more teeth than the women! Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Hottihealer on December 23, 2008, 09:53:16 PM Pass on the earthquakes, wildfires, liberals, and ridiculous cost of living because of all the illegals. I'll take Georgia for 500 Bob, where the men have more teeth than the women! John F. Kennedy defined liberalism this way: "If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal.'[4] Modern American liberalism is a combination of social liberalism, social progressivism, and a mixed economy. It is distinguished from classic liberalism and libertarianism, which also claim freedom as their primary goal, in its insistence upon the inclusion of the right of a citizen to the necessities of life, and in a broader definition of freedom. Modern American liberals view massively unequal distributions of wealth and the destruction of the environment as threats to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. While the development of modern American liberalism may be traced to the late 19th and early 20th century, it may also be viewed as the modern version of the classical liberalism upon which America was founded. "upon which America was founded." I Hope we never forget this. Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Kastil on December 23, 2008, 11:53:04 PM "someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions" Does this mean seeing that something is bad but doing it anyway?

Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Aldoran on December 27, 2008, 10:50:56 PM I prefer this rain to last week's bitter, evil cold.
In Illinois the weather is... Special. Like Corky after a dozen beers it just doesn't make sense. (what, too late for "life goes on" jokes?) Cheers! Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Kastil on December 28, 2008, 02:17:29 AM Arg, enjoy the freezing all over the streets that'll be hitting you soon courtesy of MN. Well I suppose you are just a bit more south so may not get the full brunt.

-35 o Hell no! I will take the traffic, illegal immigrants, gays and the earthquakes before this lol Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Stallionite on January 13, 2009, 07:03:45 PM In that order?
I'd prolly start with the earthquakes. I'm just saying... Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Hottihealer on January 13, 2009, 07:09:13 PM Na, traffic effects me every day. iv been here since 1967 and have never been affected by any earthquake.
i work 42 miles from my house, in the winter when its to cold to ride, it takes 2 hours each way. :-\ in the summer on a bike, its 45 minutes. we get to split traffic and ride between cars. Hmmm some how saying when its "to cold" sounds funny in this forum lol. Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Kastil on January 14, 2009, 01:51:17 AM Thank god it was only -15 this morning here. If I lived just 4 hour farther north I coulda been in that -58 with windchill.
Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: gr0n on January 17, 2009, 08:54:33 PM It was 78 degrees here in Tucson while it was -2 back in Columbus yesterday. :)

Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Reddawn on January 29, 2009, 02:28:17 PM the moral to the story is when I kill Snacks I will just dump him in an elevator shaft in Detroit
Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: thrun on January 29, 2009, 02:36:03 PM the moral to the story is when I kill Snacks I will just dump him in an elevator shaft in Detroit make sure it's an Omni-brand Elevator shaft (http://flinchbot.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/ocp.jpg) Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Snackcakes on January 29, 2009, 02:40:38 PM damn if you gotta kill me fine. if you gotta dump in an abandoned elevator shaft fine. but detroit? what the fuck did i do to you?

Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: Jim Tressel on January 29, 2009, 03:53:39 PM Actually, I think the moral of this story is Detroit is just inches away from becoming real world Thunderdome. Fuck that place.

"The next lawsuits will be filed by all 7 fathers." Title: Re: It's F-ing COLD outside Post by: ch0wdah on January 30, 2009, 06:31:42 PM Sounds like Detroit is the current home of fan favorite Stalker Sub Zero, where he's honing his goaltending skills for the Running Man.
