No offense man but are you retarded? You're from MN, you knew what to expect. And who hasn't heard of a windchill. In a cold weather major city, it's all they talk about when it's not precipitating. The wind whips up and down city streets with ferocity.

Its in the 40s here today. We either get our weather from Florida, from Canada, or as a combination/mixture of both winds.

The Florida winds are winning out today.

Nothing is worse than showing up in Miami International Airport in sweatpants and sweatshirt.

Hey, easy guy. I meant it when I first moved to MN in 04. In Fresno, There is no such thing as a wind chill. It was new to me. Being here for 5 yrs hasn't help me either. I don't care what people say, anything under 40 degrees is f'ing cold...

Hell yea it is. I've lived in NJ all my life, so I see the gauntlet...summers with 100 100% humidity days and winters with 14 inch snow days hovering around 0 degrees. I still can't stand the winter, except for the skiing it allows. I'd prefer it be high of like 73 degrees all year round. Get chilly enough at night so that I can sleep...ideal

Why are you cruising at 56 mph? Just an odd speed to be cruise controlling at.

And why do you have cruise control on if you're worried about black ice...?

There actually wasn't any black ice on that part of town.. But The speed limit was 55 and there was a car on my *** for a second so instead of going 60 on that road like I normally do, I bumped it down to 56 incase it was a cop.

It's funny the number of times that I discover that when a car gets on my bumper like that, it's not the police at all.

It's usually a woman in an SUV using a cell phone.

I think everyone knows what the infamous police car headlights look like. It shouldn't be hard to tell unless its a new charger they use here in NY or an suv.

no here in maryland there are numerous cars and trucks that are police cars. They have trucks with touna covers and stickers on the windows and stock everyday cars, and no you cant. saw a guy pulled over today heading to work. pulled over by a chevy silverado 1500 with no tint and bed cover and a window sticker. something like a hunting thing decal as a window sticker.

Lmao it's crazy how undercover they can go.

Last winter i saw these guys get pulled over by a cop in an old mid 80s ford. He had red/blue lights on the bottom of his passenger visor that he just flipped down.

It's possible that he was off duty, Cause he didn't even appear to be armed. Those guys must have been doing something really stupid to have him come out of hiding.
