Message: <blockquote data-quote="nofearfactor" data-source="post: 2048826" data-attributes="member: 1535">12 years ago me and my exwife moved to Iowa from northern California. When we got there we were more than ready for the snow as we usually recieved tons of snow where we lived at up in the Sierras we just were not prepared for the ultra cold temps at all as both of us had grown up our first 18 years in southern California. 5 years ago I moved to Oklahoma permanently even though I still go back and forth between all 3 states. In Iowa so far the coldest winter night that I can ever remember has been like -30F, and the coldest I can remember in Oklahoma since Ive been out here has been  a few below zeros I think. To me it really doesnt seem any colder at -30 than zero, cold is cold to me when it gets below freezing. In Iowa I learned how to properly layer my clothing, have good battery chargers for my vehicles, etc. One thing I miss about my small open space A-frame cabin up in NorCal is my wood pellet stove. We have a nice new badboy central heat/AC system here at our house in Oklahoma that heats quite a bit of floorspace but that little pellet stove totally blasts that cabin out and its affordable too. In Iowa we bought a farm with a big old 3 story farmhouse that we planned to restore but that first winter there we almost froze to death in that creaky old house with no fireplaces and just an old beatup barely running antiquated heating system that was located in the basement. We just closed off the top 2 floors and wore alot of clothes. The ex is still there but she has central and fireplaces now.</blockquote>
