not Cereal Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 damn it was hot today in fargo. when i went out to start my truck, it was at least 15F out there! thats BLAZING HEAT right now, enough so i only have to wear 3 shirts, heavy winter coat, hat and gloves. the normal attire was unneccesary today! my truck really likes the warm weather and warmed up enough to drive in under 10 minutes. the shifter is much easier to move than normal, requiring only minor struggling to stir the gears in the morning (sometimes the shifter is soo heavy its like pushing a wall) also it was relatively painless to break the tires loose from being frozen to the street. the normally ear-shattering "CRUNCH CRACK BOOM" as each tire breaks free was only noticeable from within a few blocks. it didnt wake our neighbors in canada today. now i just need to figure out how to get the passenger door open - its frozen shut. this has been a really mild winter so far, but we have been getting our butts kicked for the last 2 months. yesterday it only got up to -9F (MINUS 9 degrees) and the 40-50mph wind was enough to rip your skin off in about 2 seconds. yesterday was BAD. today was GOOD. also i learned a new word! SNIRT. as in, "boy, the SNIRT is really blowing around out there eh?" SNIRT is SNow dIRT. yucky, black dirty snow. anyone remember what white snow looks like? come to think of it, WHY THE H*** DOES ANYONE LIVE HERE?

phaeton Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 lmfao Coaster. In wisconsin i've experienced a bit of the same things- the door frozen shut, having to park in 2nd gear because you can't move the gearshift till you've driven a few miles, (not to mention double-clutching each shift), and breaking the tires loose from the ice. Wind ripping your skin off. heh. Of course, i'd never be able to tell it in such a concise, honest and humourous sort of way. Dr. Seuss: The Original White Rapper . WWND?
timrocker Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Yeah, Coaster, that's just balmy. When I was growing up in Montana we used to drive over to Dickinson to warm up. And visit my cousins.
