Hello Winter 2013-2014
Original Message   Aug 9, 2013 8:54 pm
We just entered August but the weather feels like we are in the middle of September already in MN. I am not sure what kind of winter we will have but hopefully it will be shorter than 2012-2013 season. I hope I am mowing in November and grilling outside. I am ready as you all are too.

Biting Cold: When you bike to work, you can temporarily damage your reproductive organ and may gain full control within 24 hours. Piercing Cold: When you bike to work, you can permanently damage your reproductive organ and cannot use it again until you die. So there are differences.

What if you don't ride a bike?  Does the same risks apply?  Can that be mitigated with heated seats?  Wait, I think I'm going to apply for a patent  or an IR for that.  :)

Electrically-heated bicycle saddle seat covering, has heating element supplied from battery embedded in plastics foam material DE 10144607 A1 ABSTRACT The seat covering for a bicycle saddle has an electrical heating element, embedded in a plastics foam, material, which is operated from a battery voltage supply, in a similar manner to a heated insole for a ski boot. The plastics foam material is cut to match the shape of the bicycle saddle and secured beneath the latter. I was going to file your idea for the patent but it seems a bit too late. Sorry!

Piercing Cold:
Like a needle piercing your butt

Biting Cold:
Like a wolf's teeth in your butt

Bitterly Cold (aka: Brass Monkey Cold):
'Bitter' hope global warming is real

Thanks for the analogy, but it's hard to imagine the biting cold.  Never had a wolf biting experience to relate to.

oldcrow, I like that explanation, I may steal it.

I don't know what kind of winter we are in for, but so far September & October have been very nice with temperatures above average by 5 or 7 degrees.

Cheers
Paul

You've got a standing invite to visit me and wifey up in the north woods. Shouldn't be hard to arrange for a wolf-biting. A little bacon grease on the pants should do the trick.

And this is Quebec? Wow, enjoy that while it lasts, brother. I'm in Michigan's Upper peninsula, probably about the same latitude as you. Winter is already on our doorstep. 4 or 5 snowfalls already, sub-freezing temps at night. That almanac prediction of biting cold may turn out be right. Better stock up on wolf repellant

You may steal with my blessing. A case of Canada's finest would be appreciated, though. Just too much hassle anymore to cross the bridge for brewskis. Bloody terrorists...

Sounds enticing, at least to the wolf.

The grease is only meant to draw the critter in. You have to do the rest of the work.

it gets technical but the center of the country is in for "copious amounts of snow"

Good thing I have the Toro 2 stroker.
