Hey Crumm;
What a coincidence, our thermometer is showing 44 also. We had a cold snap yesterday. We went from a low of 54 to a low of 44.
Minus,, Plus,, no big difference
Of course I can smile since we are the ones on the plus side.
Stay warm... -44 is brutal. Heck,,, the lowest I have ever seen here is +18.
Once in the Navy, traveling from March AFB in Riverside Ca. it was +72 in Riverside. When we landed in Minot AFB in North Dakota, they were having a blizzard, and the wind chill factor was in the -60's. Since I was in my summer whites, I almost froze to death when we got out of the plane going to the terminal. (C-130). I should have taken a hint when I saw others wearing Eskimo style clothing.
The snow was blowing horizontal. I was young and dumb and did not check the weather in North Dakota before leaving Riverside.
