davos Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It was -17 F on the way into work this morning. I don't want to even think about what that felt like with windchill with windchill taken into account. The heater fan on my van has gone out and will cost something like $700 to replace, mostly because chrystler in their wisdom decided to put it in such a spot that one has to take apart the dash to get at the damned thing. Not money we really want to spend on an older vehicle. So while the car warms up slowly it is not goign to get comfortable in this kind of brutal cold. I wore several pairs of socks but still, I'm only now getting full feeling back in my toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a DC winter all of a sudden has teeth.[/quote] Yea, I hear ya. This morning I did my normal routine of get a shower, throw some clothes on, and bolt out the door becuase I'm late. I had to park my car on the next block over last night becuase I got home later than usual. When I got in the truck I reached up and felt my hair (still a little wet from the shower)... and it was frozen! I couldnt have been outside more than 3 minutes. All I could do was laugh like an insane person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems to prefer peeing behind a chair rather than making peesicles outside. I went to have a beer with my dad (beer kept in the heated garage, but not in the beer frigerater) and when we opened the bottles, BAM! They froze instantly and gysiered frozen beer. It was like a bad movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He jumps outside, plants his front feet and does a 360 degree spin with his hind end. During this spin he totally lets go of his bladder [i]and [/i]bowels, leaving an arc of pee and poo in the snow. As he is doing this spin of bodily function, he starts barking letting us know that by the time his spin is complete he is ready to come inside immediately.

Too, too funny! Sometimes I think about getting a dog with a lot of fur, like a Newf or something, so it can get through the winter here, but what the hell would the poor thing do at +30C?

DesertWolf Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 That Dach should teach that to my dad's terrier mix. He's very distressed by the cold, and it's still in positive numbers there. Also, the heavy fur on Newfies and Akitas and such insulates them from the heat as much as the cold. It's like people wearing long sleeves and pants in summer. It keeps the sun directly off the skin, pulls moisture away, etc. Our dogs, in the summer, go back and forth all the time. They'll spend a while outside, then come in for a while. The last thing you want to do is shave a naturally heavy coat; it exposes the skin to sunburn. Oh, and south central AZ here. Highs in the low 70s or so (at least that's what the house warms up to when I leave the door open). Lots and lots of sun. Overnight lows in the 50ish range. Early December we had a couple of light freezes overnight (we're not in the city where the concrete keeps everything warm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
