Something you might not know about me...I grew up in New Hartford, NY (near Utica) and went to college at St. Lawrence University. Between these two places, I think I spent my first 22 years of life at or near the freezing point. While my blood has thinned in recent years, I can still remember the -20 degree days at SLU where I layered a turtleneck with a hand-knit Norwegian wool sweater and trekked to class. Now that I have lived in Florida and North Carolina for the last 20 something years, I barely leave the house when it drops below 40.
I am a hard-core winter adventurist compared to my husband who was raised in Miami and dons his flannels when the temperature shifts toward 50. So, just for a giggle today, let me show you the weather where my husband is spending the next several days on business:
Tee hee!!!
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
Please visualize the man pictured below throwing his hat up in the air...and then freezing in place and breaking up into thousands of pieces. Yeah...he's going to make it after all!
Nice...I've never been so cold in my life and you are making fun of me...and of course packed too quickly to even have that lovely gray hat you show on your post - I don't even have the extra 20 pounds that are in that picture either - I could use the warmth of the extra layer of fat. I have 2 opportunities a year to wear the london fog coat you bought me 12 years ago...and I forget that too. Of course that wouldn't even be enough today...and its gonna be colder tomorrow.
Love ya

I live in Winnipeg about 8 hours north of the twin cities. We have been sitting at about -45 with the windchill since monday. It is totally brutal outside.

Some of us live with this lovely weather 6 months of the year. And you try and tell me you moved north awhile back. North is were it is cold for 6 months not 6 weeks. Cheers
