My Dork is Frozen

EDIT: Posted from my phone, did not realize the link did not work. Hope it makes more sense now!

Pinchvalve got a canoe? Sorry man.j

Hoping you heal soon!

The image didn't load. Lets try this.

Ouchy...

And yes, it's definitely frozen. Send some of that cold down here.

Be glad it is not your hootus

It was 1F here yesterday. Megadorks were even frozen.

If your dork is frozen, try rubbing it. Repeatedly.

At least you didn't freeze it off.

I just drove home. Here's the current forecast:

I lost my sticker :(

My sister lived in Winnipeg years ago. One winter it stayed below -30*C for 30 days. I don't mind winter, but I couldn't take much of that.

Woke up to -34C this morning after the sun had been up for ~2 hours already.

I guess the ice road truckers are loving it...

In reply to Ian F:

The ice road trucker local to Baltimore took his gasoline tanker off of an overpass and onto railroad tracks yesterday morning creating quite the fireball. The temperature was high enough to warp the railroad tracks.

Only a balmy -26 F w/-35F wind chill in central MN w/sunshine. Cheer up, heat wave (mid 20s) by Wednesday.

Woke up to 32* F here in Rochester, but despite the sun being out, the temp is falling. Supposed to be down into the single digits by tonight.

I saw that yesterday. At first I thought it was in Philly when an old HS friend posted the news article on FB, then I saw it happened in Baltimore (she now lives in MD). Definitely a rough scene.

I was almost caught up in a similar situation heading up the Merritt Parkway in CT earlier this year. Ice and snow on the road, although trucks aren't allowed, so at least that was less of a concern. A Benz driver managed to bounce off the inside guard rail, resulting in air bag deployment. I was first on the scene. He wasn't badly hurt, just shaken, but he was in the middle of the road after a blind corner. The next car by skidded into the same barrier. I told the guy, "if the car still runs, you HAVE to move. We're going to die sitting here." Fortunately, he was able to get it more out of harms way until help arrived.

Why do people with AWD think they are invincible on ice?

Currently 77 and sunny here in Melbourne.

In reply to jstein77:

We hit 80. I was very close to turning on the air conditioning.

That's some problem there, i think they make a cream for that.

Wow, that's cold. This is from yesterday:

Yeah, Florida didn't get the memo about winter this year.

I left the house at -4*F (-20 for you weirdos). Too damn cold.

EDIT: I just realized that the two scales cross at -40.
