Funny little story....
I work at blockbuster, we close at 11 PM on weeknights. Tonight it was about 27 degree Fahrenheit outside... it was cold as you can guess. Well we went to lock the doors, got the front door locked... and broke the key off in the exit lock... not good. So tomorrow me and two other managers (I'm a manager by the way) get to go up, file a work order, and call a locksmith to fix our busted lock. Yay.
Just thought that would be fun to share.
Anyone else got any fun stories about the cold?

Tow Truck Driver. Got a call for someone stuck in a snow bank. By the time he got there 15 minutes later, two other vehicles landed in the same snow ditch, all 10 minutes apart from each other.
Diesel engines, which are what tow trucks are equipped with, also start and generate power through the heat they produce. On extremely cold days, you can imagine how difficult it could be for a solid piece of metal that has been in the cold for 14 hours to create heat.

Finally sinished shoveling my drive way along with my neighbours (town house) and was ready to go inside when the plow came, the reason escapes me as the snow had just been piling up on the read and they decided to plow it the day it just started snowing, raking up all the snow and huge chunks of thick ice, causing me to have to clear the end of the driveway.
Ice was so thick and heavy, my shovel ended up breaking and I had to go buy a new one with my money only to come back and finish the job.

Got two.
It snowed, it was cold and I was stupid and decided not to brush the snow off the next day. Bad idea, the sun came out and melted the snow underneath which then refroze. All around my car door.
Had to get hot water to melt it open essentially.
Second, we were camping, my father owns a RV. It got down so cold that the door latch actually froze shut, needless to say we were pissed and we had to get a heat gun to warm it enough to actually open it.
Cold sucks and it's been getting down to 9 degrees Fahrenheit at night here.

How do I know it's cold...
It snows.
But, really. Once I walked outside my front steps and immediately busted my ass. Turns out ice covered everything leaving snow elsewhere to harden. Hurt. A lot.

How do you know it's cold?
So I shower every morning before going to school. It's a good routine that wakes me up. Now, I'm one of those people who, while drying as thoroughly as possible, still have a good deal of moisture in my hair.
I go outside, wait for the bus, and you know what happens? My hair freezes. No joke. You could break pieces off like icicles... I DARE you to fix those split ends.

I know its cold when as I wait to the bus, I see some strange white thing in my glasses but only suspect it's fog and leave it there. Only to find out in the bus that it was actually frost.
I also know its cold when people put snow down my back or when they tackle me into a snow bank... -cough Midget cough- (a friend at school)

When you can't cross country ski because of an annoying spleen-related problem and winter's laughing at you by giving your town several blizzards and an ice age. That's pretty cold physically and emotionally...

In a more joking manner:
You know it's cold when your testies are racing up your intenstines to see which one can reach your stomach first.
Thats right.

When you try to light a cigarette only to realize that it's so cold that FIRE CAN'T WORK.
