swt61 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 OK, I was going to call you on the 12 years after spending 40 in Alaska, but I'd say the 2 years in South Dakota will more than make up the difference. Carry on. Quote
morphsci Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 Yeah, I figure 2 years in South Dakota is worth at least 20 years almost anywhere else. 1 Quote
acidbasement Posted December 8, 2016 Report Posted December 8, 2016 It's been snowing for the last three days with high winds. There's over a foot of it on the ground, and the kids's school has been closed for the last two days. Going down to -30'C this weekend. We're leaving for Florida/metalcruise in 51 days. 9 Quote
Aimless1 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 Damn Iain. That redefines cold 1 Quote
acidbasement Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 We usually get down to -40 at least once per winter. Quote
Grahame Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 I can see why Florida / Metalcruise would be appealing in comparison. 1 Quote

acidbasement Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 Iceland is on our bucket list, and airfare is pretty cheap to get there! We'll visit one of these days, for sure. Maybe in the summer though. Quote

I was going to ask the silly question, C or F, they quickly realized at that point it really doesn't really matter, they are converging, ha ha. F=C ------> Freaking Cold!!! Quote
grawk Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 -40 is the convergence point. -20C is a lot warmer than -20F 1 Quote
