It's supposed to get down to 2 degrees here in Western Nevada tomorrow morning Brrr. |
|
wxman says it'll be -17 in Ely, 0 where I'm at near the passes above Tahoe with 50-80 mph wind gusts and -3 at the lake. That -17 makes your spit freeze to your lips and I don't need to elaborate what happens if your crazy enough to try and write your name in the snow with your onboard yellow inker dinker. Gettin' to be about the weather for the polar bear club to swim across the south end of the lake in their annual idiot's "migration". There always lookin' for participants. Any Southies want in? |
but I have to come home tomorrow night
I was at Heavenly Ski Resort last Friday and there was rummored gusts of -25 at the top...just under my nose burnt a little. Yesterday I was up there again and my beard froze comming down the runs. Whats this about an idiot migration? I was gonna go swimming in Tahoe when it is snowing. I am going to do it for a few reasons: 1. My bro Jake in the Marines was here on leave for a bit before he went back to kicking some dirka dirka ass, I took him to Tahoe to have a good time and check out the ladies but he is stationed in Hawaii and he said the water was freezing in tahoe-this was August, so I am going to send him a video while he's in Iraq of me jumping in as an apology. 2. I just want to see how long I can take that cold of water...so far my record is 32minutes in 42F. 3. I'm just an idiot..dammit you got me! **Edit** 4. I'm 23 and I'm supposed to do stupid shit...this kind of goes hand-in-hand with reason number 3.

| At 9:45 we have warmed up to 0 degrees here in Caliente. hattoo fast... |
Next couple of days it's supposed warm back up Damn weather up here is so Fickle it's difficult to believe in a 'WeatherForcaster',Lets hope someone is right (for once) |
|
When I went out this morning in north Sparks, the bank thermometer showed 2. I don't know how much colder it was last night. I do know that many people in the area are without water (like me!) due to frozen pipes. Anybody have good hints on thawing pipes under concrete walkways? |
I know how to stop it....let the sink fawcett drip and the bathrom all night and the pipes wont freeze |
|
Yeah. Global Warming my achin' ass. Shit like this reminds me why I want to move back to Phoenix. Or barring that, Miami. Fuck this cold weather shit. I lost a tire yesterday because the RUBBER FROZE TO THE GROUND. When I backed up, the tread actually lifted away from the tire, causing a sidewall gash. Fuck this fucking season. |
Hey Dude, Hang in There. This is part of being a Nevadan,Otay? when's the last time you had a Hot Shower? I have'nt had water damn froze up,get the Tire replaced and you'll be Just Fine  Just Opinion |
Charming use of profanity, hope it offends you that I didn't quote your whole post I find it hard to believe temps around zero did this to your tire. We routinely hit -20F and -30F and it doesn't happen around here. I haven't even heard of that happening up on the North Slope. You sure there wasn't something else already wrong with the tire? |
Steve I know a guy that can help a guy out with 4 new tires for some 7.62 or 7.62x39 ammo he needs both  if you want to make a deal stop by and see me.

THANKS A BUNCH. I'm soooo glad we left NY for a week of fun in the sun.  Went to see the tigers at Seigfried and Roy's this morning and there was ice in all their waterfalls. The handlers at the dolphin tnaks were in Survival Suits. Any hot springs in the area?

I think we might have a deal, Mr. Gunsap! Actually, that tire was kind of on its way out anyway (ran it at 10psi for awhile, WHOOPS!), the freezing-to-the-gravel thing only exacerbated the existing problem. Still, it sucks giant old elephant balls that this happened. There's nothing more fun than kneeling in the ice and snow before dawn, trying frantically to change a tire using those stupid scissors jacks that came with the car. I hate winter. |
I will be at work this week mon. 7-5 tue. 12-10 thur. & fri. 7-5 and sat. 7-5 or give me a call
|
