So this is a new one for me...yesterday we had the bfs phone in the car charging...this was the message...I've NEVER seen that before...and this morning it was even colder and they are saying tonight its suppose to be EVEN COLDER YET.....sigh....why do I love living in northern Minnesota

Excuse me!! When mechanical objects refuse to function and shut down because it is tooooo cold, that would be a tipping point for ME!!!!!! Last person out, shut off the lights!!! My largest issue is the GPS in the dashboard takes an extra 10 seconds to light up when the car is started, if the temp is down in the 40's.!!!!!

That would scare me. When we had the Superbowl in the area in Arlington and it got so cold here in North Texas, it got down to 7 degrees or something and I was kind of scared. I don't know of what - just scared. Maybe that the electricity would go out for a long time or the gas would or I don't know what but I was really apprehensive until we warmed up. Tibbe just loved to go out in that freezing weather and once it snowed, he had to be called sternly to get him in he was enjoying it all so. I was afraid he'd die or something if his body temp dropped, even in his coat. I sure hope you all warm up before long.

The cold is one of the reasons I've owned arctic breeds...husky and samoyeds...then I fell in love with the yorkie. I feel so bad for my lil peanuts...tonight when I took them out poor ruby was squatting but her feet got cold so quickly she was trying to lift them up n pee at the same time. Both R n R are trained to pee on the indoor potty but the prefer to go outside.

What about those cute little booties they have for babies that live North of the Red River?????????

rubynrosie · 01-22-2013, 04:24 PM

I have some cute boots for them but Rosie freezes and wont move its like she is literally frozen in time and ruby tries to pull them off and then forget going to the bathroom!!

I figure this summer ill keep trying the boots til they get used to them and we will be ready for next winter!!

Ellie May · 01-22-2013, 04:33 PM

I don't like cold. It is a whole 6 degrees now! This morning walking around campus it was -2. blah. Looking forward to tmw. going up to 25!

msyorktown · 01-22-2013, 04:51 PM

7 degrees is a summer day here! We are currently siting at -15C WITHOUT the windchill....dropping to -19 later on tonight with the winchill at -30...now thats freakin cold!!!!
Opened the back door to let the doggies out for an early morning pee...(3am) Orion of course charged out the door...Raelle my daintly lady, got as far as the top step, decided that was far enough...squated right there and came back in. Jersey didn't even bother going out...she decided she would wait til Daddy got up later. The look on Raelle's face was 'mommy don't even start with me, I piddled outside, be satisfied.... Omg I was laughing out loud at that look, had to stop myself from cracking up...didn't want to wake the neighbours..they already think I'm nuts....

Both girls sat in front of the fireplace waiting for me to turn it on, then got quite ticked at me when they realized I was leaving without heating up the room for them.

These guys gave me a great start to what turned out to be a lousy day.....chuckled all the way to work...

yorkietalkjilly · 01-22-2013, 05:04 PM

I wouldn't want to live where it is so cold but I love to read all the war stories of the cold-weather country. My son said when he lived in Minnesota for one winter, it was so cold you couldn't talk outside sometimes after being out only for minutes because the lips got too cold to work properly to form words! I've been in the mountains and in the snow, in Denver during a blizzard and such often and had the lip and talking problem after being out a long time but never been anywhere when it was several degrees minus 0!!! We got down to 0 here one winter years ago. It was awful! The central heat ran almost nonstop night and day.
