Italian & English cars won't start. People in Canada drive with the windows
down.

0 degrees
Distilled water freezes. Lake Superior's water gets thicker.

-5 degrees
Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, and woolly hats. People in Canada throw on a flannel shirt.

-10 degrees
Philadelphia landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Canada have the last cookout before it gets cold.

-20 degrees
People in Miami all die. Canadians lick the flagpole.

-30 degrees
Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Canada get out their winter coats.

And in Minnesota, pipes freeze with perfectly good heat tape on them! AAAAARGH!!!!

Ever wonder what it's like living without running water? Have your pipes freeze.

I'm really beginning to NOT like this winter.

This Nor-Cali weather is killing me! I have been wearing t-shirt or sweatshirt only. Never turn the heat on in the car at all.

The news here is saying this will be the coldest 2 days here since 86. Of course the strawberry farmers are working extra hard as are the Florida citrus growers. Prices will go up.

It sure is cold....

I've been planting thousands of seeds and I'm pretty sure they will be ok....
