Its so cold my water pipes are frozen outside to my business. Damn. It's a whole 0 degrees right now! So much fun. I wouldn't even ride an ice bike right now!

You need more clothes... ;D
Here is a joke for ya!
Its so cold that Bill Clinton is sleeping with his own wife in order to keep warm!

We get an awful lot of cold waves from Canada.
Can't we weatherstrip the border?
LOL!
My wife had never heard the term "colder than a witch's t1t"...
Sheltered woman...LOL!
9 below this morning when I left for work...
I rode my ice bike last year when it was 20 below. It took an oil heater sitting under the bike overnight to get it to start though!
It's colder than a well diggers a$$ outside!!!
It's colder than a penguin's bollocks!!!!
You guys DO all know that I fix broken water mains for a living, don't you? I'm outside in this all day and all night. 24 hour call.... Then Nick wonders why I don't want to go ice riding! C'mon, man! Let me get warm for five minutes, OK? :P
Then you're the guy I should ask. I've outgrown my Carhart overalls. (They're duck cotton and they shrunk from washing, smarta$$!). :P
So to replace them for Christmas...
Overalls or Bibs&Coat?
Seriously, I can't make up my mind. :-/ :-/
Overalls
They'll keep you warmer in my book
Dawn ;)
bibs and a jacket.
bibs and a heavy hoodie till it gets below 15 or 20(or the wind picks up)
I have both. The Carhart bibs tend to saw at your nips. Not good. They will be raw and very painful at the end of a 17 hour work day. After 13+ years of this crap, my best solution is the full, 1-piece Carhart suit (black liner) with a size 3X-tall Carhart chore coat (again, black liner) over that when it goes below 20 degrees and windy. Then all you need is the ski mask, thinsulate inside leather gloves, ski goggles, and 8 million gram thermal boots from Redwing. Dressed like that, zero degrees is almost comfortable, but you get tired fast because you're wearing nearly 100 pounds of clothing!
Chris, you're not supposed to wear the 'bibs UNDER your sweatshirt! :o ;D
Yes Kimmy.... ::) Sorry, forgot to mention Duofold longjohns and work clothes UNDER the bibs or full suit.
The best part is having to pee. Kinda hard to be subtle about it in a residential neighborhood anyway, because your pee steams so bad it's like you're wielding a flame thrower! Now consider the fact that the holes in all those garments never quite line up, then factor in minus 15 windchill-induced shrinkage, and this simple act of nature can become a daunting task!
And of course, don't lean too close to the truck you're peeing on, or you might stick! :o
Cathater...
"Excuse me, could you empty my sack." See, problem solved.
K3, I knew you'd know! Okay, overalls it is then. I always like them anyway but was told that they sell a lot more bibs around here. I'll have to go up a size to account for...ahem...shrinkage (related to washing of the garment that is, not that other kind of shrinkage).
Although, since Edgar's from Minnesota I'll bet he'd have some tips on how to find it on a cold Minnesota morning. ;D

Oddly enough, shrinkage does not seem to be a problem for me... ;D ;D ;D

Well, when it's only an inch to begin with (on a good day so I've been told), it can't get much smaller.....
:-X
;D
Careful there my friend, he'll come back with a wisecrack about nipple chaffing. ;D ;D

Flame on... ;D
