[KarlMarx]

This deserves a new "It was soooo cold" thread!

[KarlMarx]

It was so cold....

How cold was it?

Jack Frost was treated for hypothermia

Our snowman bought a space heater

I was peeing ice cubes

[Abbey Marie]

It was so cold...

Hillary snuggled up to Bill.

Or perhaps I should have said:

"Bill snuggled up to Hillary"

:lmao: :lmao: Thanks guys..

On the base I work at just six miles up the road, it -48 below....Couldn't get a picture of that one...
But my dang car was struggling to start, even with it plugged in...
Also my water pipes are frozen as of this afternoon....:( ..Trying to thaw them out now..

That's it! I'm moving....
Of course I've been saying that every winter now.........for 13yrs...


It's so cold you can take a cup of hot water and throw it up in the air, and it turns into vapor...Tried to get a picture of that one also, but it didn't turn out...

:beer:

Why does it turn into vapor? Thought it would freeze.

[stephanie]

Why does it turn into vapor? Thought it would freeze.

Didn't freeze...My son and I tried this at -45 below...Of course we used hot water for the vapor experiment....The next time its -40 to -50 below, I'll try cold water and throw it up in air and see if it turns into ice cubes.....It probably would..... :laugh:
We've warmed up since Monday....right now we're at -3..Whoo hoo..

On average up here in Northern Alaska, winter temps for this time of yr range from 0 to -30 below...With a few weeks off and on of -40 to -50 below...



BUT:
Saw -63 below once for about a week.....:eek2:

[KarlMarx]

You know the reason it's so cold, don't you, Stephanie?

That's right, global warming! It's colder because the Earth is warming up!

Don't believe me, but Al Gore said so, so it must be true!

Yes sir, global warming, will get you every time....


I just had a thought.... Al Gore told us he invented the internet, that he was the basis for the movie "Love Story", that the 2000 election was stolen, and that there is a thing called "global warming"....

I wonder how Mother Goose feels about having him stealing her job?

Once upon a time, there was a big bad corporation
And it spent all day polluting the atmosphere, raising the price of oil, invading Iraq, being insensitive and making profits
Then one day, Al Gore came along and made a movie
After everyone saw the movie, people knew the truth!
So the big bad corporation ran away and was never seen again!
And everyone lived happily ever after using the Internet that Al Gore invented and counting hanging chads... because Al Gore brought peace and happiness to the world

The End

[Gaffer]

:lol: He's the second coming himself.

He and chavez should start a religion together.
