The news the other day was talking about RECORD LOW WIND CHILL of -38 in Detroit.. I've been in Downtown Detroit when it was so cold (-40) that the Transistors in my car's electronic ignition would not transist (as it were) and the car would not run.. I figured out later how I could have fixed it but. alas.. As it was I caught a ride home in a company car and came back the next day to fire it up. Note that -40 was not wind chill that was the dry bulb reading (Temp).
And 1.5 miles North of Detroit I was the parking lot attendant for an event when the wind chill was -40
ANd earlier before I moved to Detroit we had a -40 and then some night. (Saturday night) Sunday I went to church and Fr is giving his annual state of the parish speech.. Well for most all the history of this historic building they had never had to borrow money. but Consumer's power provided steam heat (for a fee) Consumers however decided to decommoission the steam plant so the church did have to borrow to build their own steam plant. Greyhound however set covetious eyes on some property the church owned that was not worth much to the church (Basically a way to wear out a lawn mower and a weed wacker) so a deal was cut and the loan paid off.. So the boilers are paid off.. DON'T WORK but they are paid off and like I said it hit -40 and then some the night before.> MAN WAS IT COLD.
That was Christmas by the way.
