Title: Man, it's cold....
Post by: popeye on December 23, 2000, 08:30:00 AM

Here in sunny MI, the wind chill was 40 below zero (F) today.  Gives quite a perspective on the life of a bomber crew.  Those guys had it tough, even without flak and fighters.  Salute to them all!

Anyone know where I can get an electric heated flight suit, and a real long extension cord?    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Have you ever seen a southern boy try to drive on snowy roads. Thinking if they spin the tires enough it will melt the snow and give them better traction. Now that's hilarious

Hehe Popeye, you've got it easy over there in Michigan. Ghosth and I have it the worst, methinks.

-54 windchill last night, and ditto for about the last two weeks!

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention the 33" of snow on the ground already?

Too bad the Vikes don't play outside anymore.

We are wishing for colder weather while the rest of the country wants warmer.

Merry Christmas
