That's Historiker's mod, isn't it? He's just about the only one around here who'd ask for a Ju-187. Movable tail fin, indeed...[8|]

What a jolly good idea it was as well [:D] They're used all the time these days, ruddervators and tailerons [;)]

Think I saw something called a "flapperon" once... Historiker is just an enervator...

Now now, play nice. [:D]

going outside at the height of unpleasantness in (say) Houston on a bad day isn't going to literrally kill you in 10 minutes like going out on a bad day in winter (say, during a cold day when the wind is blowing)... or if it doesn't kill you, you can get permanent damage due to frostbite.

Nope, we are much better suited to handle cold than heat.

Well, heat would kill you too if it got that much hotter than our body temperatures as it gets colder. 30 below is 128 degrees different from our body temperatures.....know what happens at 228 degrees? [:'(]

Yet I can survive 30 below with just some good clothing. I'd need a specially designed suit to handle 228.

Nope, we are much better suited to handle cold than heat.

The folks around Buffalo look forward to Lake Erie freezing in the winter - it cuts down on the "lake effect" snowstorms (wind sucks up moisture from the lakes, dumps it on the lee shore... when the lake is frozen, this is much less prone to happen).

EDIT: on one occasion in recorded history, it got cold enough that Niagara Falls actually froze!! [X(]

When it gets that cold there is no lake effect snow, the air is so cold and dense the humidity is almost non-exsistant.[X(]
Besides mostly inidiana and Michigan get the brunt of the lake effect snow.[:)]

oh, i dunno - Syracuse gets something like 190" of snow on average each year, and upper NY (around Waterville, close to where Bruce was raised) gets far more than that.

EDIT: These are mostly lake-effect snowstorms.

yes, but I was meaning only when the temps dip below zero and the north winds howl. Southern Indiana because of the Lake won't see those cold temps and get lake-effect snow as your friends in Syracuse experience.
It can be below zero in Chicago and South bend and other areas of Indiana will be plenty warmer because of lake temperature and see snow.
Very strange.[:)]

-60 or so wind chills as well.
In January/February you will see wind chills below zero to maybe -20-30 but every now and then look out, it literaly is painful when that wind slaps you in the face or other uncovered body parts.[:)]
I miss Chicago but not that awful winter weather.[8D]
