3. My dogs really hate it when it gets this cold.  They come running into the house and give the wife a doggie, WTF look, for it being so cold.  They then demand to be let out again just to make sure that the wife hasn’t magically turned up the outside temperature.

4. My parents who live in Upstate NY are all for Global Warming.  When your heating bills run upwards to $300 per month in the winter, they’re all for anything that helps keep the cost down. 

   When I was stationed in Great Falls, Montana, it wasn’t uncommon to have times where the temperature got down to -45 without the wind chill factor.  In January 1996 we went two weeks straight where the temperature never got about 0.  It wasn’t fun trying to launch airplanes in those conditions.

5. It has to be glowball warning - I remember being at Rollins MT (Flathead Lake) and it snowing on the mountains (which surround it) in JULY! Now it’s just cold in winter, oh my. . . .

   GLOWBALL WARNING - let me see where-ever did I put that phone number for Al’theskyisfallinganditsallyourfault’Gore?

   

   P.S. It’s 10 degrees with real feel of -12F (up from the crisp 6 degrees at 8AM)

6. I hear ya, Bob. You guys at Malmstrom were in the same boat we were in at Minot. Temps at -40 (-70 wind chill and it was always windy ‘cause there’s nothing between North Dakota and the North pole to stop the Polar wind) for days and sometimes weeks at a time, block heaters, “bunny boots”, triple-layer parkas, survival kits in vehicles, snow piled up 16 feet high on the sides of the roads, ice everywhere and nowhere to go even if we did decide to get stupid and drive off base.

   And us sitting out there on top of enough nuclear missiles and B-52’s loaded with nukes to destroy the planet 800 times over.

   And they paid us the princely sum of nearly $500 a month for that shit.

7. Come on back home Skipper. It is 54* and sunny. Course that’s about 40 mile north of Smoke, so the Rocket City may be a tad cooler.

   Anyway, I’ll have coffee and your choice of four of porch swings waiting on you. Bring some friends, we’ll talk about wimin and lie..

8. It’s 72 out here.

   BTW, the story about the planes discovered some 260 feet under Greenland ice? That’s about twenty years old, and is about aircraft that sank into the ice, much as a penny will sink into an ice cube in your freezer.
