Cold Is A Relative Thing. . .

One thing about the cold is it will be gone in a couple of months, just wish it would hurry up. Temp out my window right now is - 28 and no wind

I'd REALLY like to understand what you're talking about. We're experiencing a "cold snap" here. Might get into the higher 50s. I may have to wear a "jacket" to work. (Doubt it, though.)

Seriously, I lived in Lawton Oklahoma for a few years. So, one "cold snap" or black ice everywhere, I pulled into a deserted church parking lot. (Thursday night, LDS lot. NO ONE was there.) I was driving a "Mormon Hauler,15 passenger van" (Figured for the LDS lot.) It took me 20 minutes to get out of that deserted lot. Needless to say, the throttle was COMPLETELY useless. The idle also was too high.

You guys who actually DRIVE on ice, deserve ALL my respect. PERIOD!]]

I love how the media is talking Spring already, and we're not even done with Feb yet. Last year, Fargo didn't really warm until June. The media like to "stir the pot" with unrealistic expectations. Tragically, however, a little girl 6 years old, froze to death in Bemigie, MN. Lots of questions about how it happened.
