Exactly how badly the British deal with Snow

[walrus]

Dudes I got up today it was minus 8 degrees farenheight. I gotta tell u after that -20 -30 I’m getting used to it but next week it’s gonna be 56 degrees farenheight. It’ll feel like somewhere. When it’s this cold your car makes strange noises and god forbid u have a breakdown on the highway. I was driving yesterday, it was 10 farenheight and an elderly lady was disabled on the side of the road. I pulled over asked if she had roadside service or family that could come change it, of course she didn’t. It was the last thing I wanted to do but I changed her damn tire. I had hand surgery a month ago as well so I’m not supposed to do that but the lady had to be eighty and I couldn’t just leave. It really sucked though

Changing a tire in sub-freezing weather's gotta be hell, especially after hand surgery. Hope you don't have any major setbacks. Good job though, bro.

When I lived in NW Indiana my car used to sleep outside. Once I came back from vacation (in P.R.) and found my car with a flat tire. As I was changing it I couldn't help but marveling at how the damn thing stayed in pancake shape, even in the trunk. A flat frozen solid. Another story was when I first moved up there. Got a used car and tried to put on the license plate while waiting for my wife to come out of the grocery store. It was some kind of subzero temperature, and I couldn't be two minutes without my gloves. WITH the gloves, I couldn't negotiate the plate screws properly...... and WITHOUT the gloves, I didn't have enough time before my hands became two blocks of ice. I ended up slamming the license plate into the trunk of the car, and praying I wouldn't get stopped on the way home. Next day it was less cold, and I was able to do the menial job.

It was crazy tits. Luckily since I’m a landlord I keep a lot of tools in the trunk including lighting and these real heavy work gloves. Luckily none of her lug nuts were seized. I can normally change a tire in ten minutes but I had to keep going to my car to sit and warm up. It’s was good though. Oh and the hand surgery was getting a piece of bone cut off of my finger, I broke it last year and it didn’t heal right. I actually started a broken finger thread last year. It was a pity fuck thread and didn’t go over well. Bottom line though, we gotta help each other out when we can. I’ve never been to Indiana is it nice?

I don't know about the rest of the state... but we were in a good spot. Close to Lake Michigan, so there was that.... and pretty close to Chicago, which was also nice. Not much else to say about it. I'd guess Indiana is pretty bland as far as states go. You got Indianapolis and you got................. oh well. Still, had some good times there.

Well good point, u can ask the same question about any state in the US and it all depends on where you are in the state. I’ve lived in my state for twenty years and couldn’t answer that question to everyone’s satisfaction, not like live seen every inch of the state

I found myself agreeing with the Rep from Kentucky. We're a bit soft with "cold" days now. We used to have minor Earthquakes and were still required to attend class . Miss the snow though. Not mush snow or that sheet of ice inches thick covering the road but fat fluffy white snowfall. On a side note one of the more despicable things we also did moons ago was drive around tackling neighborhood snowman. They never saw it coming.

Just curious, in let’s say London or pick a couple other popular English areas what are the coldest levels you have hit in the past two years. Please state in farenheight so I don’t need to do math.
