Either crazy, or the disease has got a good hold on me.
« on: February 04, 2007, 08:16:38 AM »

 Right now here in western MD., it's 0 degrees with the wind chill factor. A friend just called and told me he purchased a B.C. 45-70. Guess where this idiot's going...to camp, just to shoot. *packing 120z. antifreeze for after the shoot and a pickup load of fire wood.*

Ya! What's a little cold weather? Up here in Canada we are still swimming outdoors. It gets hard to swim though when the ice is thicker than 1/2 inch. ;D ;D ;D

How cold is it right now, Mclernon...we are at -15 here and a little breezy.  Don't think we made it above -10 here in MN today.  I'm about 30mi. south of St.Paul.

I live in South Carolina so I start complaining when the temp drops below 45 degrees.  My question is, is there a point where it's just darn cold and another 20 to 30 degrees colder is not really felt?  Is negative 20 more uncomfortable than 0 degrees?

That I'd call as a personal judgement call... For me anything below 60 is too dang cold ;D, but I have tolerated minus 3 with no winds while deer hunting but was in a pop-up blind... Those things surprisingly and be quite toasty, on cold days...

 Just got back from camp, woke up this morn. to 0 degrees, with wind chill -10 to 20 depending on if your were in the shade...lol...drank a cup off coffee, threw 3 rounds out the door, packed up and plowed through a foot of snow for a mile before hardtop. Thawing my old weary bones now. But, it was better than any day at work.

i dont now the exact temp today, but i was in a tshirt with the windows down, and not even chilly.  Nice change of pace after a month of snow and freezing every day.  Nice two days we had, cant wait till the crap starts again tommorow.

I got you all beat! 85° here in Phoenix, and I never for one day have missed the -40°F when I was growing up in WI.
