Mid West Cold

Fcukin' hell that's good weather. Can Coors freeze?

I can only visualize that. What's the wind chill factor for 0F there by you? We reach 0C to -5C here. The wind chill makes it -10C which is still a bit off from your -17.8C.

It can go as low as -20s (-28.8c) to -30s (-34.4c).

Currently its -3 wind chill.

I've been out on my sled in the UP with it -26 (-32.2c) without wind chill. Belts were froze on the sleds. we had to take them into the cafe to let them thaw out to ride that morning...... I ended up rolling my sled, taking the wind shield off. I got frost bite on my chin that day because of it.....

We're going to be -1 for a high tomorrow. Kids school is delayed 2 hours this morning, maybe they won't have school tomorrow. They're talking like -17 as well.

wow i just looked at the weather channel, today it is supposed to be 57(high) today and 42 tomorrow.


have fun up there guys...

That's OK..... Go ahead on then....

Wait until summer, when we have those beautiful 70 degree days, and your sweating you balls in the heat and humidity down there.....

NYC should be hitting 17 degrees as a high by Friday.

Even the Naked Cowboy is wearing thermals!

yeah but you live in cali, if the price to pay was living in cali for that weather, i would choose michigan...

bs....

SEC all the way baby...

Shouldn't you pricks be in the ocean by now? I keep waiting for "the big one" and everyday you pricks are still there. I'm suing.

Here's what we have this morning so far. It usually gets colder just before the dawn... High of 8 today with wind chill -20 today.

I did get my cable for the snow thrower. That's right the manual says snow thrower. Haven't installed it yet though. The 2 inches we got yesterday was sugar snow. I blew that out with my leaf blower.....

RC, all the stuff you say is what we get in NJ, only more of it where you are.

The only reason that it is less desirable is the cost (which is up because it is MORE desirable, go fig). A lot of the popular areas are ones with some historic zones, or close to the city or the ocean.

I also see a blend of what you are talking about. Neighbors you can call over to feed your cats while you are away, or give your lawn a mow (a few $$ is always a good encouragement, sometimes refused).

Gardens are also plentiful, and the iron in the soil makes some great tomatoes.

The only thing I miss in the 'burbs (I am now in Hoboken, a pretty developed brownstone community just outside of NYC) is accessability.

Right now I walk out my door and I am 5 minutes away from a dozen bars, restaurants and such. I can go to Shop Rite on foot, or hop across the street to the Korean Grocery or Laundromat/dry cleaner. There are plenty of smaller parks around (but unfortunately not many athletic fields) and the daily commute to work is pretty short (40 min).

I use my car, but don't NEED it (about 3K miles a year!!!).


The best places to live are probably something that give a bit of that, while still giving the familiarity and community you talk about. Be able to walk home from the corner pub, but not be an almost complete stranger to the people that hear you banging your woman at night.

I guess urine wasn't as high in saline content as they thought it was.

@Ninjahedge

I've traveled around the world and was gone 3 years during the service, so I know about the living you talk about. Nothing wrong with it, if your into it.

I picked a spot in between the town I grew up in and the capital city, they're 10 miles apart. I'm in a township with about half the taxes of either city. I have everything with in a 20 mi. radius around me. I've got enough ground to grow a great garden that I can up every year. I try to live as close to the garden as I can and that's the way I was raised. I love it here and being as the place is near paid off, I'm not about to go anywhere else.

Having said that, it's not for everybody. Both my brothers left for better places they said. One of them went to Denver, lived there for 20 years. Then he got a better job in Lincoln, NE. He hated NE, but that's where he died and part of my family is there. My youngest brother lives in Orange County, CA and has for 20 years. Part of my family is there and they aren't coming back. My mother sold out and moved to Naples, FL. The long and the short of it, myself and my two sons and our famlies are the only ones left in MI from my whole family......

@Clown.... Coors is 6% as always...

You really shafted your sons. Its time to kick your kids out of Michigan... Give them a fancy beer like Bud Light, show them that there really are better places than Michigan.

and...that was useless!? Apparently I joined in 1970.
