When it's cold the snow crunches, when it's really cold it squeaks. When it's bitter cold it squeals. Days when the snow crunches aren't bad but when the snow squeaks and squeals it's a good day to put on your heavier pair of long johns ;) And you're spot on, people don't stand around with exposed skin. You dress for the weather and it's nothing bad. But the weather has no mercy for people that aren't prepared

Grew up in rural McKenzie County, spent 49 years in the oilfiels of ND, MT, and WY. -24 is NOT -40, even if the wind is blowing. When the air temp get down to -40 and colder, things break and go to hell in a hurry. Go out at -40 and spend a 12 or 16 hour shift without a break in your shorts and a hoodie with no wind protection. Retired 10 years ago and promptly moved to AZ full time!

I've had nosebleeds twice in my life - both from walking in from the outside in sub -40F weather in Grand Forks. I remember people used to keep their cars running over night to make sure they could get to work or school in the mornings!
@coachjimvahrenkamp369
@coachjimvahrenkamp369 Год назад
Interestingly enough the old keep your car running all night must either be an old wives tale or a product of old technology. I have lots of friends that store their vehicles outside all winter that have no difficulty getting them started in below zero temps. The cold gets a bad rap. I haven’t suffered any negatives that I didn’t equally suffer in the humidity and heat while living in Charlotte, NC. I easily prefer the weather here and don’t miss the bus ga and sweating all the time. Winter doesn’t last 6 months here. At most real winter is a good three months. January and February get cold. Outside of that it’s the same when it’s 10 degrees when you’re in Charlotte as it is when it’s 10 here. Just cold. I put my jacket on and head to work…

@coachjimvahrenkamp369
@coachjimvahrenkamp369 Год назад
Well a few facts. I moved about a year and a half after this. That year I figured out the rate and had a full healthy lawn. The grass survived and everything was ok. That being said. The year I applied a ton of Prodiamine the biggest difference was that plants that weren’t mature with a strong root system died off eventually. The Prodiamine produced what is called clubbing in the shallow roots which inhibited nutrient uptake this starving the plant over time of water and nutrients. Those small grasses turned grey over time and died off. One year later it was fine. It’s good to remember that it’s just grass and as you figure things out it gets easier and easier to fix your mistakes!
