Story about a bunch of people playing the world's longest hockey game (252 hours) in temperatures that have gone down to -40.  They do it to raise money for cancer research.

Apparently a -40c puck shatters if it hits the goal post.

You know, I don't really mind missing those temperatures.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

What about a -40F puck?

There is SNOW and it is NOT on the mountains.  Terror will strike the heart of Vancouverites.

It's amazing how a few days of snow and ice can make the entire country noticeably happier.

But Spring is Definitely just around the corner, tomorrow in fact, here I've called it.  :bowler:

Normally that would be a good thing, but I think we could have done with another week or two of this.

Man, it's cold here.  Snowing as well.  Won't be able to go the store today.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

This is the worst February I can remember.  Endless cold. Looks like a bit of a break next weekend.

I am sure that somewhere, there is a right-winger saying that this weather proves global warming is a hoax.

This weather sucks.  We've actually had snow and ice on the ground for like a week now, which is pretty much unheard of here, and more is coming this week.  It won't really get above freezing till next weekend.

People, I need you to go out and drive gas guzzlers and get on flights and stuff, even if you're just doing donuts in Wal-Mart's parking lot.  We need more global warming. :mad:

I cannot recall this many consecutive days with a high below freezing. Going to snow tonight...

It's been a bit chilly of late, but the mild and rainy weather is returning.  :bowler:
