Kevin, leave it to the Minnesotan to stand outside in the snow with a sleeveless shirt on! From a fellow northerner, I love it. All those model railroaders from south of the Mason Dixon line are probably shivering in their boots just looking at your pic.
I'm sure it was warmer than it looked (maybe even above freezing!).
Re: First One - yellowlynn - 01-09-2009
Possibly we are shivering, just looking at that picture. However, we know better than go out like that in cold weather.

NAW! I love the winter, Ill love it even more next year when Im 18, so I can get my commercial insurace and get into snow removal. There is BIG BUCKS to be made in there. Id take winter for 11 out of 12 months.
But yes, after being out for a while (never did get above freezing) I was cold.

Lynn... ah, thats nothing... I've gone out to the mailbox at the end of the driveway with shorts and a t-shirt on in sub 32 degree cold... amazingly the body adapts to it's "normal" surroundings quite well... now mind you, thats a mere 30 second trip outside, it would be silly to do it for any longer

All you guys with your snow! We have had 8" of snow total here in St. George this year and on the weather forecast they said that is approximately 8000% of normal! We are supposed to average .01" of snow a year. I was born in Minnesota and lived in Fargo, ND for a few years but I am definately NOT a snow person, snow is something I visit, not live in.

Re: First One - eightyeightfan1 - 01-10-2009
Two things we keep in the garage here in the winter.
The car and the snowblower.
Re: First One - tetters - 01-12-2009
Every year I keep saying I'm going to get a snowblower...but I don't. I don't mind shoveling. I'm kinda sick in the head that way. :mrgreen:
