My heart goes out to a lot of people who have to face this cold spell.
Thank you. However, one nice thing about colder temps. No one screams, giggles, or points at you when you layer up. But when it gets warm and you deduct layers.. At some point someone is screaming, giggling, pointing and likely calling the cops.
I suspect some people will have problems. I saw an idiot at the gas station tonight putting 5 bucks in his POS in a T-shirt. When he ran in with his nickles, dimes and quarters I asked “where is your jacket?” he said he left it at home. Driving around in this weather on icy roads with 1.5 gallons of gas in your tank with no jacket to speak of is flat out stupid.
If he survives, he’ll be paying our social security.
I see it all the time these days. I always wonder what's going to happen to the moron if they run out of gas or break down on some lonely back road in that cold.
Darwin Award candidates - every one.
It was 30 above today in SW Wisconsin. My husband overheated cutting wood and was outside in a just a sweater for awhile. He’s 63, though. Too old for a tshirt, today.
In Houston when I was growing up we thought that winter meant wear a jacket, and not winter meant, don’t wear a jacket.
Since we always wore our tennis shoes and blue jeans and cotton shirts, we froze and stayed miserable at 35 degrees and thought that was just the way it was.
What I learned living in Wisconsin is that everyone dresses for the cold, so it can be 10 below zero, and you can be fairly comfortable.
