5. I didn't go either

Didn't feel like shoveling the snow and scraping the ice off my car.

[Darth_Kitten]

6. I went to work in MINUS 52 DEGREE CELSUIS WEATHER......

You guys don't know cold unless you were here. :evilgrin:

[1a2b3c]

8. but did you work outside?

[Darth_Kitten]

13. MINUS. 52. DEGREES. CELSIUS.

To answer your question, no. But for the outside workers I feel terribly sorry.

[1a2b3c]

14. I doubt they went to work where you are

You can easily die in those temperatures. Mine were livable but i didnt wanna work in the crap.

edit: CELSIUS, i just caught that part. Must have been really freaking cold outside.

[Darth_Kitten]

22. I really feel for anybody who has to work in bad weather...

It's potential frostbite weather that's for sure. :( Outside workers still have to fix watermain breaks, rescue people, tend to car accidents, etc. :(

Yes, it's celsius (don't know the conversion to fahrenheit!) We Canadians take a weird sense of pride in the fact we are living in this frigid arctic chill. brrrr.....


Heard a story at work, it was even colder in Saskatchewan. Guy was saying a friend of his threw his coffee up in the air (why, I don't know) there and it came down as solid (slush) :evilgrin:

7. I didnt go monday or tuesday

because my door locks were frozen and i didnt feel like using a hair dryer to open the door. :-)

[Qanisqineq]

10. How do you know if your pipes are frozen?

Water won't come out of my bathroom sink but does out of my kitchen sink. Could the pipes be frozen?

[1a2b3c]

11. Could be

Probably are.

[Darth_Kitten]

15. Sounds like it......

I work for the water dept so I'll offer my 2 cents. ;)

9. Obvious Question

"HOW COLD WAS IT"

[1a2b3c]

12. not sure

below zero is all i know.

[Padraig18]

17. I delivered 132 papers this morning--- on foot.

One of the carriers was ill, so I delivered his route. It was -11 with a wind chill of -31. It was not fun. :(

[1a2b3c]

18. bare foot uphill in the snow?

[Padraig18]

19. Uphill? In central Illinois?

There's nothing bigger than a molehill here---flat as a pancake. ;)

[1a2b3c]

20. Kansas has Mt Sunflower.

4,000 and some odd feet.

[Padraig18]

21. Wow!

I don't think anything in IL is over 1000 ft. high. It's so flat here that I can actually see the next town on some low-humidity days, and it's almost 12 miles away.

23. What sort of outdoor work do you do?

If it has anything to do with building overpasses, get your butt back outside and get busy. I'm sick of these orange barrels everywhere!

[1a2b3c]

24. Build houses
