My neighbors in the north - Page 2 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

It always make me wonder, when the it snows one day and it rains the next day, being the same temp. I know the weather people want to explain things on why it happens, but nothing ever makes sense!

Ideas?

No, but I got plenty of fruit flies in my house... Don't know where they come from...

**Uncle Bob** · 01-09-2004, 10:17 PM

How do you guys live in that type of weather? I know you get used to it, but those temps just seem way to extreme.

the first year you endure it, you go brain dead and then you stay, because, it's not that bad LOL

I guess that is the best way to put it. Here in Florida, the summer weather we endure it and then we wish it would be cooler. Then, this happens.

The Chad · 01-12-2004, 10:38 PM

I kinda get a kick out of your your location. "winter" harbour, winter my ass, you're in florida

**Uncle Bob** · 01-13-2004, 11:05 PM

Well we're getting another couple of days of nippy weather below -30 and windy which should make the windchill about -50 .

You know what other detail seperates us northerners from the rest ?

Windshield washer fluid, bet I've used more in the last week than Jon or Keith have used in their lifetime.

The Chad · 01-13-2004, 11:18 PM

the gas station that I work in sold 200 4 liter jugs in a day and a half

Jonathan · 01-14-2004, 01:57 PM

One of you two is gonna have to tell me why. Wouldnt it freeze?

**Louis** · 01-14-2004, 03:39 PM

We have special windshield fluid here. It can endure up (shouldn't we say down) to -40C (-40F). I've seen some that can go as low as -50C.

I'm from Memphis so I'm guessing here . . .

I bet that stuff thaws the windshield. Huh? Huh? Am I right or what?
