Hopefully tomorrow will be nice and sunny n
So awesome being able to sit in my living room not freezing by butt off!
Are you "protecting" yourself by denying a problem in your life?
My 13 year old is going through the voice change part of puberty. Seems to be happening with a minimum of squeeks and cracks, but sometimes I don't recognize his voice when he speaks! Kinda freaky-deaky.
Get him to say "I'm Batman" before his voice changes all the way.......
I will try that tonight. But, he'll probably sound like Batman and freak me out even more. His voice is so deep now...he sounds like a completely different person. I remember it being more gradual with the oldest, so not as disconcerting, when he opened his mouth and a different voice came out.
Why can't they make a filled doughnut where the filling is all around instead of all of it being dead center?
I wonder why you don't always see your breath when it is cold enough to see your breath. Anyone have the answer on that one? Say like in the fall when the temps drop, you notice the white fog of your breath each exhalation. But that...whatever...seems to disappear...you don't always notice it. I wonder why? It's like it isn't even there...like...what? You're dead and you don't know it? Or maybe once you've been outside long enough...what? the inside of your lungs have cooled off? Or maybe it does fog and you don't notice it as much anymore?
Foggy breath!
Foggy breath!

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

So this morning I was driving to work. I pushed the button for the heat but did not realize I had turned it down to the "blue" part of the dial (as opposed to red)
I was wondering why I could see my breath just before I arrived at the HSC parking garage
I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you saying that if a person outdoors can see his breath more so than after he's been outside longer? Or are you asking why a visible breath disappears?
It seems like there are times when one should be able to see one's breath, considering air temperature...perhaps humidity has something to do with it? Or relative humidity? I'm saying it seems like one can see one's breath when the season starts, when the cold hits, when one goes outside, one begins to puff like a steam engine. But only recently I've begun to notice that as the winter wears on, that phenomenon is no longer present...not always...the temps are as cold or colder when the season began, when one readily saw one's breath. I dunno...maybe it is still happening, but one does not notice one's breath later in the season...as one does early in the season.
So, I go to the gym about 5 times a week, and 90% of what I do is for my legs/cardio. Treadmill, Bike, Elliptical. My legs are totally fine but my shoulders and back are totally TRASHED! Why? Bad posture? Maybe it's the arm exercise part of the Elliptical but I don't even do that 100% of the time I'm on the machine......
I've got two ideas. One is that you've gotten used to the temperatures enough not to feel a difference when it gets a little bit, say one or two degrees, warmer. The other idea is more scientific and something I'm ignorant about: how much, if at all, a difference in humidity effects breath vapor.
I know that breath vapor condenses enough when it meets colder air to become visible as it dissipates. What I don't know is if higher humidity in below freezing temperatures is simply meteorologically compensated for - there's just more snow or whatever example of frozen water is happening - keeping humidity within a certain tight range. If that's true it would seem to mean that in cold enough temperatures human breath must always condense enough to be visible.
So, to answer your question: I don't know.
Ah...so it is related to humidity. Don't know if I've seen my breath at the higher temps, though.
