"We don't need no stinking thermometers"
 

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?

MY nipples are hard ----- so its cold!!

My nuts disappearing into the cavern of my prostate usually is a good harbinger of Jack Frost blowing his icy farts!

That'll ^^^ work too. :roflmao:

I think PF is trying to tell me that it's wintertime in my Homeland and I have to go back to wearing panties. :rofl:


My guage? Nipples, of course.

It's REALLY cold when the hair in your nose freezes!!

I'm thinking I know it's really cold outside when I am walking around and I hear a noise coming from my crotch that sounds like wind chimes because my guys are frozen.

I know it's cold when I hear the brass monkey singing soprano. :yikes:

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.

Same termperature, day and night, winter and summer.

A photo of a thermometer does the same job.

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:

You know it's cold when the local flasher gets caught describing himself to women. :p

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.

That's because you've always got your sundial sticking out! :p

*snicker*

How nice of you to notice. :D

Just remembered, before the nerve endings went south, my bad knees served as an excellent barometer...I could tell when it was going to get cool & wet outside by the pain level...

Yup....................
 

i love to see all the ladies nipples sticking out ....................me i shrivel up and all my old hurts ache like hell :sad:

My ol' bones get to aching, too. Good indication of the cold, that's for sure. Of course, seeing it snowing and blowing with ice forming on everything helps, too. :)

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.

How in the world did you get that pic of me PF? :confused:

I think yesterday we had a heat wave ... it got up to the freezing mark. :(

:roflmao:

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.

pissing ice cubes is often a good sign to me! :hockey:

When we lived in Alaska you measured cold by how many hinges on the back door were frosted over on the inside! Bottom hinge its cold,middle hinge skin will freeze in 3 min., top hinge don't even go out the door!

I swam to the letterbox this morning, in sweat.

I stand by my earlier statement! :doorpeek:

My hips predict the rain that the weatherman doesn't see coming.

Your hips can predict the rise of a lot of things. :boink:

Your rise can predict a lot of hips.

i live less than 2 miles from the ocean so i can smell the rain coming =]
10- 15 minutes before hand depending on how big a stom it is

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:

BTW-



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. ;)


:D

I feel your pain.

It's overnighting here at the moment about 25 again.

(smart aleck ^^^ with his 78F nights) :whack:

And a Hurricane brewing not a hundred miles from here.

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'm ready for spring.
