RE: The Thailand "winter:" A truly awesome time to be here

in #thailand4 years ago (edited)

Chicago winters.. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. Brutal. I hate frost too. I will gladly go waste gas preheating my work truck before I will enjoy scraping frost from the windows. I HATE it! Sometimes it fools me though. I think its just dew, but NO..Its just clear frost. I could do with out it. "The grass is always frostier on the other side of the fence..." hahaha.. so true I suppose.

We've been to Hawaii several times, and loved taking the early trip to a summit for a glimpse of the sunrise popping up over those low clouds. Froze our butts off. Was windy as crap up there and cooooold. In the 20's F. Made for a brisk bike ride down. Neat to experience the changes in climate, and landscape from top to bottom. An experience for sure.

I haven't had to deal with frost / ice on car windows in ages. Once when i was in high school i didn't have time to wait for the rear defroster to do its job and started punching and even kicking it to get it off. I broke the really expensive back window on my hatchback. I learned to be a bit more patient after than $300 loss.

Oh my gosh. That had to be pretty funny to watch from a distance. That’s a lot of money for glass and a hasty mistake though. I once saw a guy pour hot water onto his windshield to melt the ice build up. Didn’t end to well. Water ice and glass all through his car when it shattered in a millisecond. Yikes 😳
