Cold about sums it up. -35 when the sun comes up is a possibility. Truck did start only because it has a brand new battery with bunches of cold cranking amps.
To the west maybe 60 miles or so is a little town (and I mean little) of Maybell. Around about 1980 it's supposed to have the lowest recorded temperature in the continental United States of -62 or -64 or some damn thing like that.
I'm not looking it up because I just don't care to ponder the possibilities.
So many love the winter wonderland and find so much beauty in scenes like this. That's real nice and ever so special. I'm glad you're happy. I'll feel better when you get your ass run out of Dodge in 2-3 months!!
Have a warm one where ever you may be and don't take any shit.
Spring can't get here quick enough for me.
ReplyDeleteI remember the -30 days while growing up in Pueblo. I like it much better down here where we think +20 is too damn cold.
ReplyDeleteDang, Fly. Even in tropical Portland it's cold, as in 37 degrees. Once in CO I had a flat on top of Loveland pass in mid February at 2:00 AM. That was before they built the Eisenhower Tunnel. brrrr!
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ, I couldn't handle that shit, the arthritis in my hands would kill me.
ReplyDeleteStay warm dude!
I remember going thru Maybell on my way to the Steamboat area. Every small town needs something to boast about, I guess. Maybe they're trying to attract polar bear watchers. Come on Spring.
ReplyDeleteYikes - that's cold.
ReplyDeleteIt's better today - only -20.
