I walked to.meet a friend , had lunch and then walked back. My legs were on fire by the time I got back.
I just hope that my summer bribes have worked and that dispatch have kept the plane in the hanger when I fly on Saturday.
Walk rounds are not fun in this weather :(
Was that cos yer little legs were moving so fast that sparks were flying?

Quite the opposite
I hate walking in these conditions . am terrified of slipping so I'm very slow on my feet
My legs passed through the cold phase to the burning stage :(

Yes, that is odd.

That and the habit of comparing with the same date in past years...as if the nth day of the month a couple of decades ago was some sort of accurate guide to what it would be this year.

Look on the bright side Zoe. Cold air is great flying air. :)

It sure is. No more struggling with vapour lock when trying to start the engine and last flight I pegged the VSI off the scale even at Vx. I got momentarily confused when I was already at circuit height before I'd turned crosswind but the walkround is brutal and my instructor and I have very differing views on cabin heat

It's the same here. I'm afraid my imploring of the dog "please crap in a speedy fashion" quite soon gave way to a more forceful message "shit, will ya?!". Even dressed like one of orly's thugs my nose was frozen in seconds.

A Facebook friend's comment was that her dog has decided to pee indoors during the cold snap...

Not fun at all. I was very glad, for that reason, that my dog would use a 'pee pad' when the weather got extremely inclement if I told her to (though she loved the snow).

I fully anticipate finding a few deceased feral cats and kittens in the back garden tomorrow (last year I found 2) - my neighbour was telling me she has found cats alive with ears and tails literally snapped off from being frozen, in previous years.

:ohmy:

Ugh, nasty.

EMS have found drunks frozen to the pavement before now.

Thermometer outside reads -23ish right now.

Usually during the spring thaw there's at least one person found in a snow bank , presumably shoved there by the plow
