Oh my. Forgive me, but yes, that does sound a bit nuts. :-)
I wouldn't have left the house at all today if not for a dentist appointment
tonight. Our high today was -1. I had to stop and pump gas but that wasn't
too bad because the wind had FINALLY died down. These temperatures are sooo
much more bearable when there isn't a wind.

it was windy here with very strong gusts. it wasn't too bad when
we were in the woods, but the cleared areas were painful.
pumping gas isn't fun in these temps, even without wind. that
handle gets awfully cold.

ones on clearance sale tomorrow.
I have about a half dozen pairs of gloves of varying age. My main pair is
leather with a fur lining. Those work well for short trips outdoors. Then
I have a pair of fat and heavily insulated ski gloves if I have to spend
more time outdoors. I usually leave those in the car for emergencies.
I've been surprised by what I've seen in this almost week long negative
temperatures. The number of people out without proper winter dressing is
amazing. Light spring jackets, no gloves, exposed ears, etc. How do they
plan to survive if they run out of gas? If their car breaks down? Get a
flat? At these temps, ears can freeze in just minutes.
I went to the dentist last night and the waiting room was jammed with
improperly dressed people. Virtually everyone was dressed for moderately
cold temperatures but not for negative temperatures. Even children were
barely protected.
I think in these modern and reliable cars times, we've forgotten that cars
can break down and leave us stranded somewhere we might not be able to get
help right away.

just got back from a 2 mile walk in single digit
temperatures. i still can't feel my legs.
Oh my. Forgive me, but yes, that does sound a bit nuts.
:-)
I wouldn't have left the house at all today if not for a
dentist appointment tonight. Our high today was -1. I
had to stop and pump gas but that wasn't too bad because
the wind had FINALLY died down. These temperatures are
sooo much more bearable when there isn't a wind.
it was windy here with very strong gusts. it wasn't too
bad when we were in the woods, but the cleared areas were
painful. pumping gas isn't fun in these temps, even
without wind. that handle gets awfully cold.
-lisa
i wear gloves
so do i, but the handle radiates cold. i need better gloves.
do you guys not have gas pumps with locking clips? i lock it in place and
jump back in my van on cold days while the gas pumps away. :)

Be careful. They say the number one reason for gas station fires is static
electricity discharges. Always touch the metal of the car (no where near
the filler tube) before starting the pump.
If you have to get back in the car, know that doing so can build up a static
charge on you again. They said the number one way to prevent gas station
fires is to not get back in the car.
If you do have get back inside, be sure to touch metal (far away from the
filler tube) again before approaching the pump hose again.

I know, now that will be on mind the rest of the winter with every
terrifying visit to the gas station.

Don't forget the death and dismemberment that can come if you let your
cell phone take a tumble at the pump.

I suppose dropping and damaging a cell phone could certainly cause a spark.

There was some kind of noise to that effect a while ago. Some petro
company started ragging on people at the pump about it.

Yes, I've actually seen a no-cell-phones sign at a local gas station. Citgo
I think.
But from what I can tell from searching the web, there isn't a single
documented instance of a cell phone causing a station fire.

I've flown a couple of times and had my cell phone in a bag or in my
pocket and forgot to turn it off and the plane didn't fall out of the sky.
I suppose the only real danger is a frivolous lawsuit - because a bed
that's got $100 bills stuffed in the pillow top is nice to have after
brain cancer.
