How cold are you this morning?
 

Going to be 5 degrees here when I leave for work. Going to be macho-stupid and ride the bike in...got a new Canadian Carhartt jacket I've been wanting to try. Wish me luck! :ohcrap:

Dude,

Just don't do it.

Wind Chill T(wc) = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V0.16) + 0.4275T(V0.16)


Not a rocket scientist, but I am thinking the solution to this formula = DAM COLD

Edit,

found a chart and it does not even account for doing 65 MPH down the highway

So cold my nipples could cut glass right now.

Oh, I'm committed now lol. I may regret it coming home at midnight...betting I don't see another bike on the road hehe. :taunt:

By your chart Witchy it appears it may approach -60 @ 60mph haha!

They are calling for 2 F tomorrow morning here with 20 to 25 MPH winds

I will be driving my truck with cough heat in it cough ............ :laughing:

you will have to let us know if you made it bro ......... :blink:

It was mega cold this mornin, 57 defreez, hope u dont get any frostbitten parts bro!

:finger:

It was around 12 degrees or so, low of 5 tonight.

Work is a disaster, pipes frozen everywhere, the city threatened a natural gas curtailment that would have doomed the plant for sure. Not looking forward to the next few days at all. The real fun begins when shit starts to thaw.

Got to stand under a firewater sprinkler this morning to close an isolation valve to the system, we were using steam to thaw a frozen pipe, steam set off the sprinkler system.

Gotta love winter in the south.

And it was 5 degrees F.

It's so cold the police aren't even pulling speeders over.

Wonder if my 8800 gts will do 900 in this ?

Very irritating...now I have to deal with two vehicles. Probably end up pulling the trailer to work at some point. Stupid bike...:taunt:

Hope we both have better luck this evening Gunslinger...stay warm if you can. :thumbsup:


EDIT: I just figured out why the jump start didnt work this morning...the inline fuse on the Tender pigtail was blown. I was so tired and frustrated this morning it didnt even occur to me at the time. Pushed the bike into the heated warehouse and have the Tender charging right now. If it fires up later I will likely ride back to the house this evening.

You've got that right, I've already had my fun with it.

Early this morning I found we had one of the feed lines to a cooling water tower on the roof at work freeze up. Had to get it thawed out since the tower's water level was getting low and began running regular water over the affected area of the pipe so it could start refilling the tower as it should to maintain the correct water level.

Got it thawed out all right - When the ice in the pipe let go, it caused a waterhammer that blew out the chem feed meter, :scared: looked like a fountain when it came apart, blew the guts of the meter all over the place.
Had to reassemble the meter, then get it back in place on the pipe and hope it didn't let go again which luckily it didn't. I'm also hoping the meter itself will work after all that but at least the tower is up to it's proper level again. If nothing else goes wrong, I'll be happy.

nice, I've got similar issues with the 6 cooling towers we've got. We stopped the chem feeds while it was real cold and bypassed the controllers that had the option.

Three days ago in St. Paul MN, minus 22 degree's no Internet and already working so I can't use it YET!

I was wondering how that had any effect since, humidity affects evaporation rate. But noticed they added "affect on exposed skin" which would be the evaporation rate they were talking about.


In Jr High school (middle school for most of the country) we performed the wet bulb thermometer experiments.

Spin a thermometer around on a string, then dip the end of the thermometer into a liquid and spin it around. the wetbulb will be below ambient.

I imagine that this would the same affect on human skin (ugly bags of mostly water :) )


Nice and warm here, smoking outside in a tshirt :) (currently 42F in AC )

66' here, horrible just horrible :P

LOL! You poor thing!

COLD!

yea this winter just blows, need to move to the south

Just cold enough here this morning for a light dusting of snow. Actually sold the bike this morning and the guy rode it back home 150 miles...lent him my heated gear for the ride.

After he left I decided to do the long overdue project of a radio/speaker swap in the truck in the driveway...wasnt too awful bad.

She seems gassy, gas can, fart strong enough to fill a chute, she's a real showroom girl :)

That face of hers looks like Nepolian dynamite;)
