they have heated driveways, makes you feel really ******* poor when you pull into a gated home and the driveway is warmer then your house

yeah i need a nice stamped concrete drive tinted to match the house with the heater connected to my neighbour's meter.



I heard there's highways in Switzerland that are heated.





I know the street in front of the EU building in Helsinki is heated. Granite cobblestones with heater underneath. Grey granite for the street with the crosswalk lines made from red granite

I spent the last week in northern Montana doing some snowboarding and it got down to -39F (says weather.com)



It was fuuuuucking cold, like so could you couldn't breathe. Now I'm back in Washington and its like 45ish... and Alaska is in the 40's too. Weird!

Ive been rather surprised at myself. I came up to Kentucky and expected to freeze my *** off after being in Florida so long. It was -3 last night and so far thats the only time it felt bad to me. Rest of the time ive been walking around in snow with only a t-shirt and my light leather jacket. Although walking on the ice took some getting used to again... Also dont ride a 4 wheeler with no gloves at 50mph and expect to feel your hands for long.
