I like heavy weight wool hoodies such as https://www.woolx.com/collections/mens-hoodies/products/heavyweight-hooded-merino-wool-sweatshirt-for-men-x710 and maybe (we'll find out I haven't tried this one yet) https://www.minus33.com/collections/mens-expedition-wool/products/kodiak-expedition-wool-full-zip-hoodie?variant=36659354435745. The woolx one is comfortable at a good range of temperatures and as the minus33 seems to be a similar fabric I'd imagine it's true for it as well.As I typically only wear a t-poo poo underneath below freezing is when I start considering switching to a jacket depending on what I'm doing/how windy it is. If I was actually active dressed it layers I'd imagine it'd be fine for much lower. I got this recently https://www.rei.com/product/209609/fjallraven-nuuk-insulated-parka-mens for 20% if I need anything colder. Anyway my solution is to never leave the house.

for me the point at which normal cold becomes unpleasantly cold is when you inhale through your nose and it feels like your nostrils are sticking together. warmer than that and it's okay, colder and I'll stay inside.

My eyelids kept freezing together walking home from the bus yesterday, which is a real first for me.

Near Pittsburgh now and it was pretty cold. I think it was a bad idea to throw salt on the driveway. Now the little dusting of snow melted into ice I used to hate IoT but turning up the heat at my house near DC and seeing the furnace still working remotely is an ease off my mind.

Randarkman posted:Most of Norway, where the people live, is below the arctic circle. Though even there there is a difference between the coast, particularly the west coast, and the inlands. I grew up in Flin Flon, Manitoba and I'm telling you, Moose Jaw and Saskatoon are paradise compared to that place. We get a couple weeks of -30 C a winter here, total. January is -30 C up there. I remember a month when I was a kid where we just didn't play outside and it was WEIRD, because that's all we ever did. We'd all just scramble to one another's houses and play D&D and stuff. And those trips between houses were just brutal cold. Bundle up to be outside for five minutes cold. They've had a couple of nice winters lately, though. Flin Flon is going to make out like a bandit when the global warming part of all this hits...

I had no idea I said this ALLLL the time until my goon friend posted something about it. I was like, wtf no way. Then I went to the gas station and someone was in my way and I was like "Ope, lemme get by ya right there (der)..." and I immediately was like  . Fucker was right. Even this loving tweet said what I said almost verbatim. Although mine comes out more as "whoop."

Yeah that dude is like a local hero here. He's great. When I moved to WA I had absolutely no idea I had an accent. People asked me if I was from Canada all the time. After 6-7 years it died down a bit and then when I moved back home it came back full force and then some in less than a year. Hearing your own accent every time you talk is pretty frustrating.

Grammarchist posted:There's a guy I know who was on the Pegasus when she crash landed at McMurdo Station back in the '70's. He talked about having to build a fort out of baggage to keep the blizzard and wind off till rescue vehicles finally found them. It's 30 degrees colder in southern Indiana than it was on Ross Island when the Pegasus sheered its wing off on a snowdrift. I wonder if this is why my dad got that uhhh interesting Pegasus tattoo. He was stationed at McMurdo in '88 when I was born. Also he's from Indiana. huh Got down to -7F here in Ohio. The wind was brutal and constant. Level 3 road conditions in my county for 24 hours. Supposedly you can be arrested for being out in a level 3, as well as your insurance can deny the claim if you're in a wreck. These are just anecdotes from people on the Nationwide arena facebook page. Had to nope out of the TSO show on friday and I was loving pissed. I would have done it if it weren't for my wifes anxiety about snow driving. The good news is TSO reached out and my ticket will be good next year! Better safe than sorry, though for real. I love driving, racing, gettin squirrly in the snow with my subaru, but I actually let this meth head looking dude pass me today because we are on packed loving ice and he was less than a car length behind me. I gave him the ol' brake hard and pull off, roll down window and give the go around motion. gently caress that man. I drive a '99 outback and have comprehensive insurance, but it's not really a replaceable car, nor is it really worth anything to an insurance company.

Cheesus posted:Then at 4 loving o clock I get a text from my sister. My parents have been without power since 5am. So no heat. My father is under hospice care. Either they call the ambulance or we get them a heating source or generator. On the way down my BIL saw a listing power pole that was certainly a cause in 300 people being without power near my parents. I was as worried about the pole immediately in front of their house with a clearly dangling wire. So I was not surprised that after the former situation was taken care of on Saturday, my parents still had no power. I had her call the power company again because they seemed to have gathered that one pole as the root cause for all of them. This time, the pole with the dangling wire only affected my parents and two other neighbors. Much less than the outrage report showing remaining incident counts between 10 and 50 houses. Both my mother and sister tried to play the "we are taking care of a hospice patient (my father)" card and that didnt change anything. Last night after a bit of wind, mom said her lights came on briefly even though nobody was at the pole. I immediately called the power company letting the know of a likely live wire situation. That didn't change the triage equation either. So my Christmas weekend has been and remains spent filling up a 5 gal can of gas to fill the generator every 12 hours apart so my parents can keep heat and refrigerator powered. The second best part of this is that the electrical hookup my father had installed 15 years for their (non serviced, non running) generator doesn't connect to my BIL's generator. Everything is running via a jumble of exgension cords. The best part is my dying father remains as entitled and petulant on his death bed as he was in life. My mother is living in hell for Christmas taking care of him while my sister and I scramble to help her in this situation as we try to take care of our own families. Worst. Holiday. Ever.
