I was freaked out by the electrical cords hanging out of the hoods of their cars. It’s so cold there that they plugged in to keep the engine block warm. 😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, his best attachment to the 49 Ford was a thin chain above the drivers door that ran to the air horn set up he had. Boy did people pick up some speed when that thing turned on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got 12 inches of snow in Chattanooga once and it shut the city down for literally 4 days. I try to avoid places that get like 4 feet of snow on average a year. I did go for my college visit to University of Indiana Bloomington in the middle of January in a brilliant master plan by my parents to keep me as close to home (Chattanooga) as possible. My body didn't realize that temperatures could go into negative numbers until that trip. I quickly decided that UA was a better fit for me.

The daughter of a friend of mine is going to the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks next fal.. I told her about the plugs hanging out of car hoods. She seemed unfazed. 😝😳 Edited December 21, 2019 by Terri Schehr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother did his undergrad at Valpo (Valparaiso, IN.) and apparently "block warmers" really do exist. Our friends from up north always come around late April and can't understand how it can be 104 AND have 94% humidity here. I guess the weather knife cuts both ways LOL.
