Are you guys (and gals) feeling it, too?

It's still inconceivable to me that you SoCal people call 50° cold. Yes, if that's the water temp and you're surfing. Otherwise, HTFU Nancy boy!

Paging @Faust29 - please explain to my good friends what cold is.

Hah! Yep I'm a Nancy boy, and 50 is coldish.
But our cold here feels colder than places I've been with lower temps.
Rode in 90+ deg temps with low humidity today.. :thumbsup:
you can keep the snow thank you very much.


And part of it is I get bronchitis in cold temps when I'm active outside. So there is that. I don't like coughing.

And if @Faust29 loved the -20 so much......

The first Buffalo Bills game I ever went to... I saw people buy coffee to pour in their shoes. By the time it went from the cup to the socks, it was no longer scalding. People who bought beer that day, though, were the crazy ones... With the windchill, it instantly froze as soon as the cap was removed. Sort of a beer slushy oozing from the top. :p

Who thought an open air stadium was a good idea? And to point it at Canada? :p

Niagara Falls is fun when it's frozen... But don't stay too long like this guy. :p

We actually made it in the Buffalo News this day. We were the only ones outside looking at the Falls on the Canadian side. We couldn't hear the reporter over the roar of the wind and the Falls, so we moved inside for the interview. Good thing, because it gave the ink in his pen time to thaw out. :p

Could people get around in ice skates in those neighborhoods?

So so true. Some of my favorite powder days ever are from early November, before the masses have flipped the switch to snow mode, and powder panic sets in on storm days. My favorite scenario, which over the last 10 years seems to play out more often than not, is going to Mammoth the weekend after opening weekend. All the city people got it out of their systems the weekend before and 12 - 15 of new snow falls on a marginal, at best, base. Chairs 1, 2, and 3 are the only ones open, but you can ride off the backside of 3 and connect down to 2, yet very few people seem to figure that out. Fresh tracks down Upper Dry Creek and Coyote all day. A core shot is all but guaranteed, but so worth it. Those days are the best.

That traverse off of 3 is hard to do on a snowboard, but so worth it. Mid June 1995, I went up with a coworker, and we lucked into 6-12” of fresh, and Dry Creek all to ourselves from first chair at 7AM until about 10. Top 5 snow day for me...

and I love fall. I love my Pendleton shirt that I’ve missed all summer, the clear dry air, the light of a sun low in the sky. Growing up we did Disneyland once a year, in September.

I don’t like Halloween, I don’t like Pumpkin Spice. But Thanksgiving is great, I’m spoiled with aunts that put on a great meal and uncles that know how to tell a story.
