There is no truth to the rumors that the Star Wars scenes on the ice planet "Hoth" were filmed near Grand Forks.

It was northwest of Minot.

A friend went with me on a trip to visit my grandparents years ago in North Dakota. He had never been there. He asked me "why do so many cars have a plug hanging out of the grille?"

He'd never heard of oil pan heaters.

If you know what a "engine block heater" is, you might be from North Dakota.

Sibling went to college on the west coast. Friends out there saw the plug on the car and thought it was an electric (a 1977 Dodge Colt?).

I stand corrected on the terminology/methodology. Thank you sir.

So I'm freezing my a$$ off now in the dead of winter after sweating my a$$ off all summer.

Tell me again about this climate "change"???

there's this sphere thingy that some believe is flat that rotates around an orange thingy that generates heat ... then there's this tilt thingy on an axis ... toss in all the atmospheric spaghetti, and voila, you have climate change ...

this shite's only been happening forever ... now the subsidized goons think we're the reason...

dog, ya can't fix these idiots...

The newest is because the ice caps are melting that explains the cold weather.

You just have to laugh at the mental gymnastics.

Whatever furthers the agenda and keeps the $$ flowing. The reasons change, but the results are always the same. Imagine that.

Oh, to be young and dumb again.

It's cold, but with no wind, it's actually not that bad.

yeah ... I've never agreed with wind chill factor ... if the sun is shining, it can be 45 ambient and I'm good in shorts and a pullover ... in contrast, it can be 55 ambient on a cloudy day with a 12 mph N wind, and my arse is freezing...

The climate alarmist's response to this would be the following.

"Any extreme weather is the result of climate change (no proof), so when it is absurdly hot, or extremely cold, or extreme rains, or drought, etc, these are all primarily caused by climate change."
