Actually a Cheechako is an old name for a newcomer, a tenderfoot in Northern Alaska and northwestern Canada. Most seasoned old timers would consider 10 degrees to be pretty mild for winter. Heck, 10 degrees is even considered a typical winter temperature in the Adirondacks in upstate New York where you'll often get overnight temperatures of -10 , -20, and lower.Quote:

These days you can get a months worth of arctic weather and that river will remain liquid. It's actual name is the "Bronx River". I have dubbed it "the river that cannot freeze".
only good thing about this -10 to -20 crap is it will wipe out the bug population. thus making summer a bit more enjoyable.
True. We had a lot the year that temps were in the 40s most of the winter. Up in the Adirondacks where this is the norm, those bugs can't be stopped if there was a nuclear war.Quote:

But the most wild, variable weather I experienced was at Holy Loch, Scotland. While waiting in formation (at ease) on the pier for the bus to take us to the airport, we had rain, then warm sun, then a snow squall, then a thunderstorm, cold, fog, back to sun, all within 1 hour.

Too warm for my liking but nice if you are a warm weather type person. Besides, we'll be getting plenty of that type of temperatures in a few months.Quote:

That is why half of Canada's population is in Yuma and Quartzsite.
No, the reason they're in Quartzsite is to get a good place to park their RV for that goddamned Gemboree that they have every year.Quote:
