Well, you have as much snow as WI does right now. Been cold, but no snow. For us. Couple inches. Glad I didn't buy a snowmobile for the 10th year in a row.

Sweet baby Jesus it's been cold. Normal up nort Was gonna biring up Eskimo brothers, but thought better. Edit I need a map for you Canucks. Alberta for both? You know it's cold when you have a 6000 foot limit on trains. Too many contracted seals to ever get 85 pounds at the rear. And the ability to stop is always good.

Not getting the Kaiser reference. Let alone the other. But right now WI feels like Canada. Carhardt Extreme was a good buy a couple months ago.

And the ability to stop is always good. Yes; I'm about an hour north of Ron. We can both see the Rockies. We're up in the twenties F now, practically T-shirt weather. I don't really count it as a cold winter unless we get at least a two week stretch of -20 F or worse daytime temps. Three weeks of that starts to get inconvenient.

I hear that true cold is when oil rigs shut down because the integrity of the derrick is compromised. Somewhere around minus 40F I've been told. I just hope to Jesus and his tuxedo t-shirt I never see that day. They just tend to freeze up around here long before it gets that cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of all the gaskets in 100+ cars. They seep everywhere. Make air by reducing the train. Btw Have had my air get legal at the back of train after the sun came up. Black cars are warmer with sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm moving to Florida to commiserate with @pintodave. Winter only Too warm down there summertime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"How hard does that sled run? Hook it up." This was in '99. The Metrowgatever in the series. Zero chance. Dunno how Champ values snowmobile engines. Guessing a 180hp Metro might promote some angst however. Edit not building it. But I want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
