Like other fluorescents, operation at cold temperatures (under around\n    50 degrees F) may cause reduced light output or erratic operation.\n    Some models work fairly well down to about 35 degrees F, others may\n    get noticeably dim below 60 degrees F.  The optimum temperature range\n    of a particular lamp may vary with burning position, generally\n    preferring cooler temperatures if operated base-down.\n    Compact fluorescents may also not like excessive heat.  Some ballasts\n    are unreliable in ambient temperatures much over 120 degrees F.  This\n    is sometimes a problem in enclosed or recessed ceiling fixtures if\n    heat in the fixture builds up.

I have certainly gone through a few 'dry spells' although I wouldn't say I got 'frigid'. I have absolutely gotten the 'cold shoulder' and many times have been 'frozen out' of a situation. Hmm...HEAT? Certainly I've a gone through a 'thaw' or two, enjoyed the 'warmth' of spring and I have been know to 'fire up the furnace' and 'stoke the engines' and 'set the place ablaze' on occasion.

Yes.  That's why the evaporator coils of a refrigerator or freezer get frosted.

It certainly can, but how is slightly unclear, exposure to cold causes your blood vessels and capillaries to constrict(shrink) to prevent heat loss which in turn increases the blood volume in rest of body and possibly making heart work harder and thereby triggering angina.

It is called the energy of activation or activation energy. The bacteria and maybe fungi cannot multiply at the reduced temps so the food will not be attacked by the microbes.Also proteins don't breakdown quickly at lower temps so the food will be fresh when it defrosts

IT's not so complicated. Fireflies don't burn to emit light. It is just a biochemical reaction that takes place in the body of the firefly due to an enzyme. This is what causes luminiscence. If you tocuh a fireflys ·"bulb" you will realize it is cold.

Too cold they do not grow and might die depending on what type. Start increasing temp. and growth speed will increase also up to an optimum growth temp. then start decreasing again and at a certain temp. will start dying again (depending bacteria kind). The optimum grow temp. also varies between 20 and 90 deg. cent.

Lack of moisture in the air helps static electricity build up.  Cold causes moisture to leave the air.  So, static electricity tends to build up easier in cold climates.

It can but wouldnt try it. Moisture forms as something freezes so when its thawed the water content is ALOT higher and can be detected. Plus you have to figure out a way to TRANSPORT it to where you need to do a test. Better to just lay off smokin awhile until you get the job bro.

A recent study confirmed your theory.\n\nIt is particularly the case when the feet or hads are cold.\n\nOf course, like someone said, it is not the coldness alone which makes you ill, but, like you said, your "resistance" is somehow lowered (I think it is that the immune response is slower) and that makes you more vulnerable to any pathogen.

Since warm air rises and cold air sinks, when the sun comes up the warmth causes the cold air with it's frozen particles to sink, therefore landing on top of the grass. This "frost" will only last till the suns rays cause them to melt. Remember, it's still cold at ground level while the sun begins to feel warm to us.

Sounds like an allergic reaction (soaps, perfume, plants, chemicals, etc) or an autoimmune disorder (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, etc).  Could also be poor circulation from the cold temperatures.\nIf you suspect allergies, avoid harsh chemicals, work in the garden with gloves on, don't use any new soaps, fabric softeners, perfume right now.  You can try a hydrocortisone cream.\nIf that doesn't work, or you suspect autoimmune disorder, (does it run in your family), see a DR.

Not true...  generally. Standard bulbs may have a reduced life span as result of constant on-and-off because of the constant temperature fluctuation of the filament. As for energy consumption, the initial warm-up is almost instant such that it "essentially" does not use any more energy to turn on. Halogen bulbs are similar to standard bulbs except the bulb is pressurized with halogen gas for more light output. LEDs are not affected either way. As for florescent bulbs, they do require a ballast to initially heat the gas up which DOES take a little more energy to start up than run - but definitely not 30 minutes worth of running.\n\nYour air conditioner is a different story. It requires a surge of amperage to start up and uses far less energy to simply run. I still wouldn’t say it compares to 30 minutes worth of constant running though - maybe 10 or so. Your AC turning on an off constantly will not only produce a higher energy bill but will wear out the electrical components faster.

It is quite true that soil temperatures where the living parts of the plants are during winter are not as cold as the surface temperature. That is the first fact. The second thing that comes into play is that plants produce chemicals that depress the freezing point of water and prevent ice crystals from forming and rupturing cell walls. The next factor is that many plants forms seeds or spores that are biologically inactive when conditions are not suitable for growth. This is sort of a suspended animation. It is also important to recall that plants even as large as trees have only a very small proportion of actual "living material." In a tree in winter, the cambium and rootas are "alive" The cambium goes inactive and reactivates when spring comes and the roots remain fairly dormant through winter until warming weather stimulates the cambium back to life and the roots then beginning sending sap up the tree. The question is complex as plants vary from one celled organisms to trees.
