St Albans, VT - Damn Its Cold

[Buffalo21]

I have to work Monday morning in Richford, VT, the most viable motel is in St Albans, Newport is closer, but you have to drive over a massive (for VT) mountain. I got out of the truck, and DAMN!! It was about 2 degrees, with a nice stiff breeze, making it feel like about 10 below, accord to the NWS.

It was 27 when I left Syracuse this morning, while cold, it’s still a lot warmer than here, tomorrow morning it suppose to be somewhere between -5 to -10, hopefully the job will go quickly and I can then go back home.

I live and work in central Massachusetts. I am the head surgeon at the truck hospital for our municipality. Stuff breaks when it is this cold like is is a ceramic. Plow frames made out of 4×6×1/4" tubing, and 1 1/8" cold rolled plow pins, this stuff just breaks cleanly without hardly even bending first. My most memorable roadside repair was an old Mack R Model that shattered a u-joint like it was made out of glass. That fix was performed laying on the ground with my normal winter clothes and a full rain suit over them during and extremely cold blizzard.
I have an assistant now. He seems to be imperious to unpleasant weather. He can have it.
I hate winter soooo much!

Two years ago was a COLD winter. Today was downright balmy compared to that winter. Thanks for sharing/reminding me of that nightmare?

I quite agree, one of the reasons I moved to the tropics of Oz. The 6 weeks of summer is a bit hot at times but the rest of the year is paradise.
No more icicles hanging from the roof gutters to the ground, no more car doors frozen shut etc etc.

In my 76 years, it is the coldest that I have ever seen. I was thankful for being retired and not having to go out in it.
