If you are farting around, shouldn’t the car’s cabin be a lot warmer?

Because it’s new. That’s the BEST reason..lol

The car started?!

-24° is not, in any sense of the word, “a high”.

That’s -4° in real numbers.

BRRRRRR! Our high is only supposed to be in the teens today. If it’s windy, it just might feel as cold as you!

I have a very warm coverall snowsuit made for riding snowmobiles, haven’t been on one since I was a kid

If the temperature is well below freezing, or it’s snowing hard, I wear it for my day off walks

I hate to miss my walks, and I need an excuse to keep the snowsuit

I hope you have heated seats!

Take that, arctic air mass!

Even a new parka wouldn’t get me out in that. I would probably be wearing it around the house, though.

Yes, -24 degrees can be a high if all the other temperature readings in a day are even lower (i.e., more negative in this case). Says Overexplainer Man.

I made the mistake of buying a white and grey one. The sleeves are already dirty and I spilled coffee on it. Ugh!

That’s the one thing I DON’T miss about North Dakota.

I definitely don’t miss that about Vermont either. First day I arrived there it was 31 degrees below zero. Never felt anything like that before. I was also sent back out to work on the farm the same day. No rest for farmers due to weather of any kind.

New parka or no new parka, -24 degrees is not going out weather to me! But then, I live in Georgia, so we never experience such.

It’s especially too cold when the fart freezes before it can reach another person.
