 | COLD!!! It's 7 below here! and we've got a good windchill to boot. It feels like about 25 below. Rich, Mikey, et al... why do we stay here again? Oh, yeah... quality of life. Toots, what have you got up your way? I'm not even remotely interested in hearing what the Georgia Peach has to say! It'll be way too depressing... ML |

  | I woke up this morning to -29C... which is -20.2 w/o windchill. Just east of here they have -48C with windchill... -54.4 F. Heard the furnace run in the middle of the night for the first time this winter. It's supposed to be +10 C (50F) by the middle of the week. This'll kill the flue germs! (Now if I could just remember where I hid my caribou-hide parka). Mrs. tried to put a sweater (one she'd bought at Goodwill) on the dog this morning before she sent him outside.... funny as hell. He didn't grasp the concept of putting his "arms" in the sleeves! Finally went out nekkid but sure didn't take long. Anybody interested in a cryo for their horn? SASE please... and I might try a toot on it just to make sure it works after.  |

| Not much better here in Reno. About 10 this morning, and just below zero up at Lake Tahoe. Daytime highs staying in the teens in Tahoe through this weekend. |

| So Manny I'm going to assume that since by your own assertion you have no interest in hearing what the Georgia Peach has to say on the topic at hand, this too would include me? However since you did not exclude me I'll say that today should be near 70 degrees in West Central Georgia! Ahhhhhhh  How I do not miss Michigan Winters....  |

| Is it true that at.... 70 degrees Texans turn on the heat and unpack the thermal underwear. In Minnesota, people go swimming in the lakes. 60 degrees North Carolinians try to turn on the heat. People in Minnesota plant gardens. 50 degrees Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Minnesota sunbathe. 40 degrees Italian & English cars won't start. People in Minnesota drive with the windows down. 32 degrees Distilled water freezes. Lake Superior water gets thicker. 20 degrees Floridians wear coats, underwear, gloves, and woolly hats. People in Minnesota throw on a flannel shirt. 15 degrees Philadelphia landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold. 10 degrees People in Miami all die. People from Minnesota lick a flagpole. 0 degrees Californians fly to Mexico. People in Minnesota look for their winter coats. -20 degrees Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Minnesota are selling cookies door to door. -60 degrees Polar bears begin to evacuate the Arctic. Minnesota Boy Scouts postpone "Winter Survival" classes... until it gets cold enough. -80 degrees Mount St. Helen's freezes. People in Minnesota rent some videos. -100 degrees Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Minnesotans get frustrated because they can't thaw a keg. -297 degrees Microbial life no longer survives on dairy products. Cows in Minnesota complain about farmers with cold hands. -460 degrees ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero in the Kelvin scale). People in Minnesota start saying, "Cold 'nuff for ya?" -500 degrees Hell freezes over. The Minnesota Vikings win the Super Bowl!!! -cw- I know at least they've BEEN, unlike the Lions |

 | Well, ML, put your fingers in your ears ....the "Peach" will tell you that it was a perfect spring day yesterday. However, the approaching cold front will cause temps to tumble to about 40 degrees and we are expecting rain for the next five days. Funny, this still sounds like wonderful weather compared to what all of you Minnesota folks are going through. LOL. If any of you need a vacation from the brrrrrrrr.....there is plenty of room here at the ol' log cabin.  (Psssst....and honestly.....I could easily be a snow bunny. I love the snow.) |
