Mark, I grew up in Iowa and in the 50's & 60's winters were a lot worse than they are now. Much more snow then. Worked outside in that crap till 1981 and transferred to SoCal.I spent four years as a child between Minot and Grand Forks, ND--Dad was in the USAF. During my own career in the USAF I spent just shy of six years at Rapid City, SD, and just over two years at Grand Forks. (As an aside, I walked by the house we lived at on base when I was a child--for some reason that address stuck in my head.)
Thankfully, flight operations at Grand Forks were suspended if the temperature got too low on the flightline. How low? -51F or colder. Brrrrrrr.
I love it here in NC!This is one of the numerous reasons we moved from upstate NY to NC twenty years ago.
As I do in Florida.I love it here in NC!
Me too. I was out hiking around for work with a nonprofit group that's about to sponsor a bunch of interpretive and wayfinding signage on the most popular trail on my District. The trail has needed some love for a while now so I was taking them around to the "problem areas" where we've had EMS calls or where folks have gotten lost to prove our need for the signage. Look at the views from the Pisgah right now. I love this state.I love it here in NC!
You just need an extra sock...Both you and me.
One can loose body parts at temps that low!
