You know how when glass goes from cold to warm too fast it can break? Well tonight I was having some tuna helper. After I scooped it out on my plate, the plate literally split in half in my hand. Thankfully the fire is going good now. Darn that wet wood. I'm still slightly frozen, but thawing...
You know it's cold when...

last winter one of my friends made (and then burned) a casserole. she put it outside on the deck so it wouldn't further smoke up the house, and a minute after she went inside it basically exploded. apparently you're not supposed to put hot glass onto snow. . . ?

I think the only glass that can go from one extreme temp to the other is PYREX...that's what we used to use in the Chemistry lab so things wouldn't explode.
It's so cold, on the way to work last night I drove through a puddle. 34 degrees, but a 17 degree windchill. The water that splashed up on my motorcycle froze up, and iced over my clutch pin, freezing my bike's clutch in fifth. Luckily for me, I got pulled over, knocked the ice out of it, and dabbed some motor oil in the pin without incident. But that's darn frosty cold!
Ok, my question to you is....what the (insert bad word here) are you doing driving in that temp anyway? lol
Heh...welllllll.... Ya see, my car is broken down. I sent it off to a mechanic, who held it for nearly two months, and when I got it back, the engine is'nt bolted to the frame, and most of the part and transmission were in the backseat. So I'm stuck on the bike.
It's not so bad after you add thermals, sweaters, pants, leather overs, heavy boots, gauntlets, face and neck mask plus a heavy lined biker jacket. Ok, so you get frostbite on any exposed piece of skin, but that's why you don't expose any!
haha wow....bad mechanic ay?
Well i hope you bundled up. If the windchill was 17, couldent imagine how it would have been going the speed limit(or lack ther of) on a bike. Wow.

The neatest part is when you walk into a heated/humid building and frost crawls all over your plastic helmet and leather outer shell.. For the first few minutes, you litterly have ice form and crack off you, leaving a little trail of crumbly snow/ice. Terrifies the co-workers. I did this all last winter too, including trips to the mountains 3 hours away.
A couple of weeks ago we were in a deep freeze, the temp was in the teens with wind chill around 5. Pretty darn cold for Washington. Anyway I got in my car after prying the door open with the backside of a hammer, and scraping ice off the windshield to go to school. This was around 7pm. I sit in the car, and when I exhale, the fog hits the windshield and freezes to the inside instantly.
That is hardcore man! I ride year-round too, but in NM there's usually only 2-4 weeks where the temps get below 20 during my commuting hours.
