Talk New Englanders and cold weather

Cold in New england these days, but they can take it.

60 above zero. Floridians turn the heat on. People in New England plant gardens.

50 above zero. Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in New England sunbathe.

40 above zero. Italian and English cars won't start. People in New England drive with the windows down.

32 above zero. Distilled water freezes. Moosehead Lake's water gets thicker.

20 above zero. Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves and hats. People in New England throw on a flannel shirt.

15 above zero. New York landlords finally turn on the heat. People in New England have the last cookout before it turns cold.

Zero. People in Miami die - or return to Cuba. New Englanders close the windows.

10 below zero. Californians go home to Mexico. People in New England get out their Winter coats.

25 below zero. Hollywood disintegrates. Girl Scouts in New England are selling cookies door to door.

40 below zero. Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in New England let the dogs sleep inside.

100 below zero. Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. People in New England get frustrated because "the caah won't staaht".

275 below zero. All atomic motion stops. (Absolute zero on the Kelvin scale). People in New England start saying, "cold 'nuff for ya?"

500 below zero. Hell freezes over. Red Sox win the World Series.

Saw something similar last year, on this very board I think, but it was about us Canadians.

Last week we had a -41C day. -51C with the wind.

Only got to 70 here today and I'm cold.

Will have to wear slippers when I get in the jacuzzi tonight.

Can't stand freezing my toes off walking on the patio.

People in California (excluding Tahoe) are wimps. I see people running around in Sacramento acting like it's 10 F outside. Ski hats, ski jackets, gloves, etc.

I was cruising the strip this afternoon with all my windows rolled down wearing a short-sleeve shirt and shorts. Nice weather here today!

It was 17 below here the other morning with a wind chill factor of about 40 below. But we're in a warming trend right now and it's about 18 out......
