the kind of frigid snowy weather that we've been having here in michigan reminds me of this joke i first read years ago,  and yes i'm a total and complete wimp when it comes to cold weather. truly i do not know how all those brave hardy people who live in minnesota--or in michigan's upper peninsula for that matter--manage to deal with all of this!

 

 

Cold Weather behavior:

60 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat. Minnesotans plant gardens.

40 above zero: Import cars won't start. Minnesotans drive with the sunroof open.

32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in Bemidji gets thicker.

20 above zero: New Mexicans don long johns, parkas and wool hats & mittens. Minnesotans throw on a flannel shirt.

15 above zero : New York landlords finally turn on the heat. People in Minnesota have one last cookout before it gets cold.
