Yea I was checking out the NY area and they are getting lots of snow.

Hear it is cold and windy.

No joke, this is from WKBW in Buffalo. The Southtowns are where I spent my teens, Cheektowaga/West Seneca area. They traditionally get more snow than the city and northtowns.

Oh Buffalo... how I miss thee... or not.

On the news this morning I saw someone that had built a beer shelf out of the snow wall outside his door

 

 

In my last 2 years there I rented one side of a duplex. My room was in the front of the apt, right over an "awning" over the front doors. I had a kick ass stereo, and a "big" tv. We would hang in my room smoking buds and basing coke and drinking beer from my shelf over the doors. Snow is an awesome chiller.

Fuck, I'm glad I don't deal with that shit in AZ. 115F isn't that bad. biggrin.png

 

When I did my Dyno training in 97 I spent a couple days in Pheonix in August. It was over 120F... Fuck that shit, at least in that kind of snow you have the perfect cooler for your beer right outside your window.

 

 

Once you get acclimated it's not too bad. Last week we used some liquid nitrogen to "cool" some beer, ended up freezing everything and having to go buy more beer.

 

Of course liquid nitrogen is -320 Fahrenheit or better...Heat travels to colder temps VIA "heat removal" the colder the temp the more heat will be removed in time..Your beer did not stand a chance..Just a -130 degrees or so from absolute zero..

 

SSH is studying to be a chemist... he understands very well.

It was escaping from the cooler really fast so we thought it wasn't freezing much, you could touch the glass and it was barely cold, but we were wrong! :lol:

Ha, XCR ain't going anywhere in that. I wouldn't actually be comfortable on my new sled in it either. In order to stop you'd have to be like a dog and run circles for a while patting down all the snow otherwise you'd be stuck like hell. With no hill to roll down it'd be a bitch.

Ha. Our morning beers for highschool used to freeze. Unlike your slushee's though it just made drinking them faster for us. The booze would float to the top and the water freeze on the bottom. With liquid Nitrogen you could actually freeze the alcohol too.

Speaking of that for one of my majors (biochem) they require a senior thesis project, and I've been doing some computational work over the last six months for a research group (I'm a junior). Found out yesterday I have enough data already for a senior thesis!

 At that temp It should have absorbed enough heat  to crystalize the brewski's in a. min...lol

 

Great experiment I luv it!!!

So far the polar vortex has only reached as far west as Colorado. So here in the land of "greatest snow on earth" we've had only a trace of snow. All the ski resorts are open by making their own snow.

Yeah. I haven't needed ibuprofen from a workout in a loooooong time.

Having to spend today in a car and in meetings sitting down was a bad idea. Stretching now to help.

It was hard getting into car.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone, 

 

 



Started putting the dog on arthritis treatment, not much help. A couple of days ago she started looking far worse, like she was fading away. Took her for serious investigations yesterday: collapsed lung, dislocated heart and cysts on her spleen. Doc said 2-3 weeks at most. This morning dad calls, she died overnight. It happened too fast, at least we tried all that we could sad.png

 

Oh no.  I am so sorry Adrian.  What was your pup's name?  She will be missed. sad.png

 

 

Her name was Laika, just like the first dog in space. It was a bit rougher for dad, today he's going to the local dog pound to adopt another dog.

Yes, I would like a big snowfall in time for Christmas.

We have tractors, four wheelers, and 4x4's here in amish land. Lots of fun for sure!

 

Without a backhoe anymore, a large snowfall wouldn't be as fun as I think. But I still have studded tires for the bike.

If only I had been a delivery man dropping off something at an all girl dorm on that snowy night.

Alt died in the Sportwagen last night.  Time for a Mechman I guess.

I had to put one in the truck last week.  Alt charged fine, bearings were shot though.  I don't think the cracked case helped any.
