Florida being this cold is an affront to God

    I'm looking at -43 this weekend. Most of you would probably freeze to death 10 minutes after walking out the door. Good thing I'm already well weathered.

    Holy shit. Do your pipes and toilet freeze? Does your car break down? Is your gas bill like a million dollars?

    Everyone around here has to deal with that all the time. I insulate all my pipes by wrapping and taping old blankets, old towels, etc., around them. Many vehicles here won't start in the morning, because their engine blocks are frozen solid. We get quite a few people discovered in the mornings frozen stiff and stuck to fences and walls and lampposts, too. Heating is super expensive, especially electric heaters.

    Being a vagrant in your city must be like some hardcore Survivorman shit.

    keep your engine running and pipe the exhaust gases into youur house for heating.

    problem solved, cheap.

    I actually applied to a job with a mining company in Nunavut some months ago. I didn't get a call back, but I can't imagine dealing with such a horrible weather. The pay is probably really good though.

    The temperature I have to deal with is colder than the surface of Mars. It's like a blanket of dry, biting, electrified cold, where it feels almost "heavy" on your body, strange as that sounds. Imagine standing in the ice box of your refrigerator, X 2. It goes right through all your clothing no problem at all, even if you wear 3 or 4 layers. Your fingers and toes and face are the first things that start solidifying, if you expose them for more than a few minutes. One of my relatives, a native Indian who lives in the Northwest Territories, wears a t-shirt in my weather. He says it's "nice". Where he's from, it regularly goes down to -70. His skin is a good inch think, almost like leather.

    there is no motivation whatsoever that would get me to live anywhere that it ever was that cold.

    id turn down a harem of hot nymphomaniac bikini models who begged me to let them follow my every whim if it involved living anywhere that horrific.

    Legally moving there would take years if not decades even if you married some hog for a green card. Also, I don't exactly like a large part of american culture and people, especially the whole societal divide and identity politics in that country.

    None of those issues really manifest much IRL. It is chill for the most part. Start PMing Hydro, she will marry you for sure.

    Benny's right about the exhaust poison thing. Around here, idiots forget that the high winds can easily blow snow up to a person's waist, so what happens is they don't clear the snow away from the exhaust pipes on their home, so the pipes get blocked with ice and snow and they all die inside from carbon monoxide poisoning overnight. Some idiot just killed himself and his whole family the other day by forgetting to clear the exhaust pipes on the family home.

    Because they use oil furnaces and don't clear the resulting carbon monoxide fully, kid. Can't you figure this out?
