C'mon Greg, he's from Florida. The only way you get wind chill there is standing in front of an air conditioner.

Not only that, but the only curves they see in Florida is when maneuvering to get to a gas pump.

Hey, hulster, you just so happen to be the brunt of this. No personal offense intended.

Feel free to send it back... we can take it. I will even give you some ammunition. I am short and own a Harley... AND a Can Am Spyder RTS. Seems enough other members here get their kick out of having fun with it.

So go for it...

Oh... by the way... never mention wind-chill... it is a not valid information. So forget it.

Greg generally the wind is stronger the higher up you are.

Everyone can bite my short, wind-chilled (-60) ass! How is that for my reaction to a bunch of soft-ass south-westerner's opinion?

I guess when you move out to where you cry is if gets to 50 degrees or rains, all of a sudden you become weather, math, and statistical experts!

A bunch of opinionated @ss-holes!!

See all of you guys at the next rally. Miss-ya!

Greg, you forget, I live in the cold portion of the SW region. We have seen -15 several times this year. This morning was -12 actual with a windchill of -30. Crap, after mentioning windchill again Greg is going to blow a gasket.

I guess living in Illinois has finally rubbed off on you. By the way, have you reserved your room for Orofino?

Oh, by the way, I'll be thinking of you when I'm in Fargo, ND.

Hey, wait a minute. It was 31F this morning. There was no crying here. Probably because we new it would be 60 once the sun came up.

I believe Polar vortex is the term used for a cold wind whipping in circles around a thermometer mounted on a post in the middle of a field.

Damnnn. You guys must be seriously freezing, I wouldn't be able to even step food outside. I don't go outside if it's less than 30 degrees out.

Wow!! Polar Vortex, formerly know as the Polar Jet(stream). What an interesting and exciting word! Let's see, does that mean the Siberian Express, Arctic Express, Arctic Invasion and a list of other non defined words will now be forgotten? Methinks the BS in Washington is spreading in a whole new form.

It is all SENSATIONALISM! That is all it is. It ranks right up there with wind-chill and heat indexes.

Heck, we might as well call tornadoes and hurricanes sensationalism also why we are at it. Why heck, wind doesn't mean anything, just let me know the temp, and I'll be fine.

While we are at it, let's include temperature as sensationalism! Heck, who really knows what zero degrees really is? It is just an arbitrary number some guy put together years ago, and stupid people talk about it as if it matters. Who cares about the temp anyway?

Geez... This sensationalizing of weather has gotten out of hand!
