Last night I was pumping gas and recalled the last forecast for a low of 30F (-2C). I could tell it was cooler than that and sure as hell, when I got home it read 23F (-5C) and I started thinking about my body thermometer. For me, I can tell the second it gets above 70F (20C) and know where the 80F (27C) mark is. After it reaches 90F (32C) it's over.:faint: It is off my scale and could be 200 degrees. Going towards the survivable direction, my body seems to have reasonably accurate temp sensor steps. I can tell when it passed about each 10° marks from freezing, down to about 0F (-18C), then it's just bitter cold and off my scale. :yikes:

What body sensors do you have that seem to be fairly reliable and are they as well defined as my thermo readings seem to be?

I have practically *no* temperature sense at all. It can be cold, it can be hot, I don't feel much of a change in temperature.

But don't try to sneak around me, and make any noise whatsoever, I'll hear you.

Experienced that ONCE in my life, during an rare double-digit below-zero (F) arctic blast that hit my fair city...our overgrown puppy had found a way over the fence, & I had found her one block away on a neighbors porch, & as I dragged the collie/german shepherd/horse? mix back to the house, I saw the ice crystals on her muzzle, & suddenly understood why I was breathing heavily thru my mouth...frozen snot had blocked my nasal passages... :eek:

As to my body sensors, they've been completely screwed up for the last 3-4 yrs now...the joys of life with diabetes :pissed:

Not much good with the cold, and I haven't tried it lately, but I used to be able to give the correct time, plus or minus a couple minutes, no matter how long ago I last saw a clock.

I haven't needed a thermometer this past week to know winter is here.

campingboy

02-11-2007, 01:26 PM

There are so many ways to know that it is -25c or -13f.

1) If your car was not plugged in over night, you are not going to work in the morning.
2) When you get up in the morning and look out the window to see what kind of day it is and you see someone walking down the sidewalk. Unfortunately you can not tell if that person is male or female. They are dressed for function not fashion. After all the layers it becomes that cold androgynous look.
3) There are sun dogs around the sun
4) The air sparkles. The moisture in the air freezes and reflects the sun and makes the air sparkle.
5) There are more ads on the radio for vacations to Southern destinations.

My fingers get sore ... even in gloves. They're usually the first to tell me ... "Get inside you dummy, it's cold out here."

Not sure I'm a good judge of winter temperatures, though. The wind chill makes it tough to tell.

After reading over this thread I still stand by my internal thermistor. I don't have to look at a thermometer to know I'm feeling the 2F (-16C) that is blowing up my shorts. :yikes:

And they tell me I have about another week of this.:( With the seasonal extreme so far away from April, each year January becomes more my less favorite month. I think I'll add a house with only the picture of a thermometer, on opposite side of 0 latitude to my "When I win" list. :nod:

….. suddenly understood why I was breathing heavily thru my mouth...frozen snot had blocked my nasal passages... :eek:…..

I think SODA has your answer, Zoid. You didn't develop petrified boogerballs, :eew: but probably an ice plug. Sorry to say I've done that many times myself and wondered about it. I believe it's like an air conditioner working in reverse and forward in short intervals. Normally with physical excretion, the rapid exhaling of moist warn air over the frozen cilium (nose hair) causes water molecules to condense on them and the quick inhale of super cool air, forms a thin layer of ice, to be recoated with moisture and quickly frozen again to eventually merge with their neighbors and soon form a plug. At least that's my theory and I'm sticking to it until you give me a better one. ;)

I just know the chemo induced side effect works. Doesn't give the degrees, but fingers and toes get tingly and numb when it gets cold. Like when extremities go to sleep.

Been that way a lot recently. :(

I've seen how they drive in both. The rain they speed up, the snow they stop in the middle of the road. Makes me laugh when my little front wheel drive convertible can make it when the 4x4 SUV can't.

scotzoidman

01-05-2010, 01:14 PM

If it was just snow, I wouldn't worry too much. But what happens mostly south of Mason-Dixon is a "wintery mix" that falls on warm ground, followed by real cold air that freezes everything into an icy glaze...maybe, if we're lucky, a little light fluffy snow on top of that...I'm not so scared by the snow that's heading our way Wed. nite, since we haven't seen temps above freezing since last week, nor will we before next week; I expect we should have a nice dry snow that won't melt when it hits the pavement.

Of course, nothing can go so well that the city can't screw it up by brining the roads, which has already started...

40% chance of SNOW Thursday and Friday just in time for the kids to go back to school.

Please join me in chanting-

SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY!

If you want a snow day just come up here on Thursday. We expect 4 to 6 inch of snow with 20 to 30 mph winds. Oh yes that is a dry light snow that will blow real nice like, with temps in teens. :thumbs:

They're predicting snow like Scotz said for the middle Tennessee area. Fortunately, I know what real snow is(Connecticut born and bred) and completely agree with Scotz, it's the ice, and stupidity to fear around here.
