    I hereby declare the name for my home state abolished. We now shall deem this the one and only Great State of North Da-Cold-A! 20170111_120621.jpg

    Somehow I've never thought I'd care to live in ND. This just firms up my belief.

    Not completely sure but it has something to do with at that point any molecule of water comes out of suspension in air if it makes contact with a solid object. So frost gets much heavier I think. I'm not a weather reporter so I can only say its colder than xxxx outside!

    When it's -20° F you don't "dew" anything outside. That's the effect of it being that cold.:rofl: :lol:

    yeah at 20 below there no moisture in the air and your moisture in your breath freezes on exhale. .. basically it about nuts you will dehydrate quickly!

    My buddy lives in Montana and it was -28°F there this morning.....actual temp.

    Unreal.....

    Meanwhile, here in Seattle, PA (sarcasm intended) it's almost 50° and RAINING. AGAIN.

    Yeah.....what he said....!

    Snow falls in OCT and finally leaves for good by May.

    Not every year, but when it does happen to leave sooner, we call it an early spring!

    No need to change the name, it is called NORTH Dakota, unlike the tropics in SOUTH Dakota!
