Saturday travel weather

Re: Saturday travel weather

To the weather...I am sort of looking forward to the "Outside, snow, wind, hell on earth...inside 72 degree, no wind..." on Saturday and having it be meaningful!

My apartment's so cold I went to the Dome Saturday night to warm up!

Re: Saturday travel weather

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away from the Dome (Gold Falls apts), It was January, 1984 (yes, I'm that old...) Wind chill factor of -93 degrees. My apt was under 50. Had a choice to make, heat or beer...nuff said

Nothing can be consistently as bad as O'Hare.....

Try Miami International as a Port of Entry from the Caribbean on a Saturday. Makes O'Hare (or Philly) look like a walk in the park.

Whitey, I lived in Gold Falls about 5 years ago. They never replaced those furnaces. We had two heats...boiling hot and not working at all.

Re: Saturday travel weather

They must really be run down now, I was there 20+ yrs ago

Re: Saturday travel weather

The good thing about having friends who lived in Gold Falls is that they didn't care what happened at their parties, it was already disaster. Ah good times.

I remember that weekend!!! I was with the Marine Reserve in Waterloo then and we did a MORT that weekend to Camp Lejeune, NC. We landed at a closed Waterloo Airport that Sunday night in a C-130. 1/2 the guys on the plane were heaving from the turbulance and the pilot actually announced the wind chill was -100. We thought he was whacked but when that rear transport door dropped, it was like jumping into 35 degree water. Walking across the tarmac was like walking across another planet.

Re: Saturday travel weather

The thing that really sucks is the heat in my KITCHEN works great, but not the other half of my apartment. (I don't control the thermostat and apparently I'm on two heaters.) My LL is in Florida and I don't know the guy in charge here at all, so I'm waiting for a day when the man can be there when he shows up, just in case. I like to play it safe living alone.
