Well, yesterday morning it was colder in Central Wisconsin than in Hell, (MI)
We had -27° and it was -13° in Hell!!!

 

[ents]

Good chuckle.

I miss the cold and snow. We've been in N.C. now for about 8 yrs. and I'm tired of these moderate winters (the flower bed came to life in Jan. last yr.). It finally got down to 3 this morn. The dog and I are gonna go play down by the river and watch the ice flows.

Send snow and cold our way.


Later,

Sadly, here in the sunny south (38 degrees N) several schools were on a 2 hour delay at O degrees

Embarrassing.

Shoot, I walked 2 miles up hill (both ways) to school at 10 below

 

[chainsawaddict]

Haha. Good one.

We were just west of this last cold front and didnt get below zero, the last one had us in neg temps for about 3 days. Im glad this one missed us. temps that cold are just plain miserable. I just checked the weather forecast and we have 50+ temps until Wendesday!! Hopefully the snow from the blizzards in November melts enough for me to get my garden hoses back...:monkey:

I always liked this one from my original home state

You Might Be From Upstate New York if....

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Upstate New York.

If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Saranac Lake is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Upstate New York.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you might live in Upstate New York

If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you might live in Upstate New York.

If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Upstate New York.

If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Upstate New York.

If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Upstate New York.

If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Upstate New York.

If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Upstate New York.


YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE UPSTATE NEW YORKER WHEN:

1. "Vacation" means going South past Albany for the weekend.
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.
5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events (including weddings).
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend / wife knows how to use them.
9. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
10. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
11. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
12. You can identify a southern or eastern accent.
13. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.
14. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.
15. Down South to you means Albany.
16. A brat is something you eat.
17. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole shed.
18. You go out to fish fry every Friday.
19. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
20. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
21. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."
22. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your Upstate New York friends.

Sad....but true!!! Residents down in the Asphalt Jungle called New York City consider Upstate as Westchester County. Boy, are they mis-informed.

 

[Blazin]

^ Hahahaha! No doubt! Westchester county. LOL!

Arround here 1 flake of snow, no I take that back, the threat of 1 flake of snow CLOSES the schools. Now that's embarrassing.

Your forgot that the wind was blowing against you both ways.

And Minnesotans go ice fishing.
Great post! I can relate growing up in northern MN. Last year I ice fished in -53 air temp with -76 wind chill! Propane does not vaporize at those temps, had to start the heater in the car, and keep the propane tank in front of the heater to keep it going. Had to get away from those harsh winters so I moved to Alaska!!
