It's Frickin' Freezing....

You can tell when it's cold, when you pee and it freezes before hitting the ground!

It's so cold here I tripped over a pile of dog poo.

Better that the alternative if stepping in it.....

Coldest I've ever been was a white water kayaking trip to the Tellico River about 20 years ago. The bank clock in Tellico Plains said 9*, and that was down in the valley, it was colder up on the mountain. Weather station said with wind chill it put it at -1*. Water in the rapids would splash on to our dry suits and freeze. Every time you moved your arms the ice would crunch. Those of us with beards had icicles hanging from them.

Still makes me cold just thinking about it.

You my friend are (and I mean this in the nicest terms) nuts.

I saw pics of Bald River Falls from yesterday where it was nearly frozen solid. Water was running down the ice but there was no "falls" in the expected sense.

I've done some things that I look back on now (being much older and just a little wiser) and say, "I must have be nuts when I did that"!

So fess up analog_kidd,  can you honestly say at any point on the way to this venture did you ask yourself, is this really going to be fun?

I think dog poo is frozen here even in Daytona beach we hit 30 or below last night again

I’ve been trapped here all week due to a broke truck. I wanna leave!

It takes them an entire week to fix your truck? My guys typically don't stay stranded more than a few hours. I hope you make it home soon!

Follow on issues after the first. It’s not been fun.

Wow, that bites. A week is a long time sitting. I would have flow the driver back or got him a new truck to use by now.

It’s my truck. I’m the one buying plane tickets or renting another truck.

Ah, that does make a difference

Well, the heatwave starts Sunday in East TN.

We go through some winters without even a 24 hour freeze anymore, this has essentially been a 7 day one.

I don't know what you're talking about, this weather has been great for my evening runs. It's not great when it explodes things at work though.

It’s just a REAL good thing we haven’t had any precipitation when it’s this cold. The whole state would have lost their minds.

It started snowing here in Ktown the other morning, thought everyone was about to lose their damn mind over bread and milk.

Negative.  The least it could do is snow if it's going to be this cold for this long.  And it's cold enough that we'd actually get real snow, instead of the usual icy, slushy disaster.

A real snowfall would be nice for a change.....but just one.
