Alaska to Hawaii. From one extreme to the other

-49 F just boggles the mind.
The coldest that I’ve ever personally seen was -12 F up in Boone one winter. The worst that I’ve seen around here was -9 F. I was called out at about midnight to help with the generator at an area hospital. There were going to have a ‘rotating blackout’ scheduled by the utility company at 6:00 AM and a portable generator (large !) would not stay on-line.
I was working in the generator enclosure – with the set running – the wind from the fan was about 40 MPH. One of the hospital folks asked me if I wanted some coffee. YES !
He brought me a cup, I took a sip and sit it down. When I reached for it again it was frozen solid. And that’s only -9 F.
But as cold as I ever want to be ....
May you and yours stay warm tonight ....
(BTW, we got it working in time ....)

He is the biggest arrssehole on GOLO. I agree with your assessment. He calls me a fat japanese lady all the time. Says some other stuff too but I ignore his miserable presence. You will find much more happiness on GOLO if you do the same Love..

I like her, so that wasn't a jab at you! LOL

I have a strong dislike to the cold. You could be extra nice and keep it. It wouldn't offend me if you didn't share,,,,lol

It's probably toasty here compare to the weather up your way. :)
When were you stationed in Riyadh?
My first husband was 82nd Airborne, and was in Riyadh for awhile during Desert Storm. Man... the stories he had.

I like Ron Paul. Every time I've seen him speak, I've found him to be thoughtful and articulate.
At least Obama is a good public speaker. Bush has riled my latent English major for years now. LOL

I'm originally from NC. My first husband was also originally from NC. Originally from Fayetteville, he was. I was born in Wilson m'self, but grew up in Wake county.

Let's see, according to my news, it's 19 degrees here. Thank god for heat pumps! I actually have a tennis match to play later today. I hope it warms up just a little between now and then.
Thanks for sharing your story with me. Sorry we didn't get to meet when you were in Raleigh...but I'm not in Raleigh. I'm north of Atlanta.

So glad that Taz was alright. He would be a permanent inside resident at my house after that!
Enjoy that warm spell!

I thought that the sledding species of dogs did in fact need to stay outside, but was making some polite Southern conversation with you!!! The malamutes & huskies, etc. are such gorgeous breeds, but I've always known that they would fare better someplace other than down here.
Have a grand week. I'm sure hoping for that snow. We need something to cover up the mud!
