jesus this shit is crazy... how the fuck did anyone ever live in northern new york or northward

i have new found respect for how hearty these people are, but i seriously question their sanity

it's going to get up to a balmy 7 today.

It's not the heat, it's humidity that'll kill ya.

1/3/2008 8:15:06 AM

if you're native to that area its nothing.

i think it would be interesting and fun to live in that area for a year or two just to get a real grasp of what a northern winter feels like.

1/3/2008 8:18:12 AM

To me, 40deg is uncomfortably chilly. I think I might die if I lived in the north.

1/3/2008 9:59:27 AM

I always found it interesting how people who are born and bred in those parts can just stand it like it is nothing special when it gets that cold.

1/3/2008 10:08:56 AM

my house got down to 59* last night and i thought i was gonna die


only way i could live up north is if i weighed 350+ lbs.

1/3/2008 10:12:42 AM

if you live up north for awhile you're blood will thin and you'll be able to better adjust to the cold

similar to blood thickening and being able to adjust to humid heat in the south

It ain't where you're from its where you're at

1/3/2008 10:34:48 AM

I thought it was the opposite but ok...

and it's your, not you're

1/3/2008 1:54:05 PM

^where do you live man?

Its 19 outside right now here in NYC. With a steady 15-20mph wind, so its pretty nasty.

1/3/2008 1:55:59 PM

Everytime I see your screename I think its a girl


no offense

1/3/2008 1:56:51 PM

me? thats a first.

ah, just checked the weather channel. wind chill outisde is 4. yay.

1/3/2008 1:57:50 PM

no not you

30thAnnZ

the 'Ann" part just jumps out at me for some reason

1/3/2008 1:59:01 PM

everytime i see your screen name i think it's a faggot. and i'm right.

i'm in watertown, ny this week for work

1/3/2008 2:00:59 PM

what is it the 30th anniversary of, by the way?

1/3/2008 2:03:51 PM

z28

car i was real proud of about the time i registered here back when dinosaurs roamed the earth

1/3/2008 2:05:12 PM

I've been there


if you get out and about and head towards Lake Champlain and end up at The Hague(near Ticonderoga), stop at the little gift shop and restaurant on the left and be sure to thank the people there for helping my ass out when I was up there

I also experienced -11 in Burlington VT

that was crazy

1/3/2008 2:07:11 PM

Ive been to Watertown. Do you have time to head over the border to Kingston? That place was fun.

1/3/2008 2:11:22 PM

unfortunately no, and i have heard all sorts of great things about kingston

i also have neither a valid passport, nor my birth certificate to make the trip possible this time

1/3/2008 2:15:19 PM

Ah, thats a shame. The only place I remember going to in Watertown was the Rusted Route Bar and Grill. Its west of 81 on Route 3. Not bad wings.

1/3/2008 2:17:58 PM

they let me cross with a valid NC drivers license at the Vermont crossing

1/3/2008 2:21:07 PM

everybody here says i have to have at least my birth cert or a passport and soon i will have to have a passport

so i dunno, i just don't have time for any imperial entanglements

1/3/2008 2:32:46 PM

I went in January


the guy just ran my name, came back clear, off I went

didn't take 2 minutes

just asked if I had anything I needed to declare or whatever

ah, i miss the days of living in Rhode Island with a -30 windchill ripping across the bay

1/3/2008 3:45:59 PM

Yeah, it is.

= if you live up north for awhile you are blood will thin and you'll be able to better adjust to the cold

is wrong.

I have never in my life been in such cold weather. It got super cold at Snowshoe a couple years back and that was kinda bad, but skiing warms you up and you forget about it. But just walking through the streets of NY would be harder to handle.

It got down to 18 here last night, and my Mom's horn started blowing at like 2am again. She does not have a security system, just the horn. Its supposed to be like 15 tonight.
