Re: [MBZ] Damn it's cold was veggie fuel
At -20F don't inhale through your mouth, thats a prescription for a coughing fit. I was born in Caribou, Maine where the week I was born (Feb 7) it never got above -20F. I own 85 acres up there with a little camp on it. My wife and I always talk about going up in the winter to go snowmobiling but the camp doesn't have any insulation in the roof or floor, at -20F I expect it'd be MIGHTY tough to keep warm. Oh my sleeping bag is good to -15F and I'm sure if I put it in another bag I'd be fine its the time it takes to get up in the night and go pee I'd be worried about... -Curt Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2006 15:53:45 -0400 From: Levi Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Damn it's cold was veggie fuel To: Mercedes Discussion List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Kinda like when you have to worry about the oil in your differential freezing solid so that it physically won't move even with the engine's power, or if you shut the door too hard your paint falls off.

Most people just leave their cars running at the store when it's that cold. So I bet I've been through colder than most of the typical U.S., but I'm no where's near the worst of it. (: Levi - Yahoo!

Re: [MBZ] Damn it's cold was veggie fuel
I'd say you are correct, but that Rochester isn't even that well known for the lake effect snow. (not that it doesn't get it, but I don't think it holds a candle to the buffalo area). I live near Corning which is more south of Rochester and my in-laws live between Jamestown, NY and Erie, PA which is mostly South of Buffalo. There's almost a visible line you cross somewhere around Salamanca, where suddenly you're in the REAL snow belt in the winter. Which usually means that even with the traffic, the highway is covered, you have a hard time seeing anything but driving snow, and it usually comes down about 12 inches at a time. (as opposed to this side of that line where it seems to come down a couple inches at a time).

Lake Superior keeps the temperatures from getting as low as they do in northern Minnesota, but it also generates a lot of lake effect snow. The worst of it tends to be around Marquette and Munising, but the first winter I was up there, Houghton got over 200 inches. David Brodbeck '83 300D Turbo
