southern hemisphere means summertime!

Well one thing is for sure, the cold weather doesn't make me want to barf in my mouth like the smell of Simplot is doing to me right now. God damn, it stinks here on campus. God, people need to be slapped on the head for building the factory on the northside of town.

just because its "summertime" doesnt mean youre gonna be hangin out in your swimsuit at the south pole.

its still a very very cold place.

amorris311 · February 5th, 2007, 03:45

i agree but the -21 degrees is a summertime temp. i dont think grand forks is in that range during the summer.

My car is a champ now that it's fixed. It started this morning at -30 like it was 80 degrees outside. Funny how a simple sensor and dirty MAF sensor just throw everything out of wack that bad.

One thing (among a few others) I liked about living in Fargo was that it was kinda cool to experience such extreme weather.

Now when you go back to wherever you're from and someone complains about it being cold, you can say, "You think THIS is COLD?"

After that, I experienced the extreme heat and humidity of the deep south, so I get to laugh when people complain about hot summers elsewhere.

There's something about extremes...you don't quite understand them until you experience them.

So during winter time do you guys just sit in a circle and talk about how cold it is outside.

Yes, since there's nothing else to do here.

Basically. Even if we aren't, about every 15 minutes someone will scream "Holy F$%K it's cold outside!!!!"

But then they make it their wonderful place to live, work, and retire.
