Ole dies and goes to Hell. After a couple of weeks, Old Nick pays him a
visit to see how he's doing."Not bad," says Ole. This annoys the Devil
- after all, Ole's here to suffer. So he turns the furnace up a
thousand degrees or so.After a week, Satan decides to see how Ole's
liking the new climate. "It's gotten warmer lately," says Ole, "but
it's not too bad". Beelzebub is livid, so he turns the furnace up two
thousand degrees.The next day, the Prince of Darkness comes to see Ole.
"It's hot," admits Ole, "but at least it's not humid like Minnesota in
the summer."The Lord of the Flies consults with all his lesser demons,
and they decide to reverse the tactics. They turn Ole's furnace down to
one degree above absolute zero. After a week, they all drop in to see
how he's doing."Fine, fine." says Ole, smiling. "When I saw the ice
forming all around here, I figured the Vikings had finally won the
Superbowl."

Wimps? Key Lake, Sask was -52C today. That's below the 60th, Luigi.
Wednesday, Key Lake had the coldest recorded temp on the planet. -52.9C
Mind you, here in Toontown we were only at -38C. It's supposed to warm
up to -30 tomorrow.

Downside is that SWMBO was supposed to head to a conference in Regina

travel in anything except a Humvee may be too dangerous.

Yeah, right. That six feet of lake effect keeps folks away from the house
as well as your pyracantha shrubs and barred SoCal windows.

Oh, it's much worse than that. Here in Tallahassee the kids pull out
those Browning down jackets that make them look like the Michelin Man
any time it gets below 60.

That's so funny Dick, my fiancée moved here from Tallahassee three years ago
and the last thing she bought down there was one of those jackets for use up
here in WV. She said "everyone told me this would keep me warm up in WV!"
And yes she looks like a Navy blue Michelin man when she wears it!

Maybe that didn't come out right. Southerners are anyone living below
the 60th parallel, wimps are those who whine about cool mild weather
and add (subtract?) the wind chill factor to make it sound worse. Like
my brother in Montreal a few weeks ago when it was -6C in Whitehorse
and 30 below with the wind chill in Montreal. While Northerners
cannot be wimps, being a southerner does not necessarily mean that one
is a wimp. I just checked on Environment Canada's web site, Winterpeg
is -39C and -52C with the wind chill. Not wimpy, and neither is
Toontown or any other Prairie city. And this is said by someone from
Canada's third coldest city. Winnipeg actually has colder winters than
Whitehorse and Saskatoon has about the same winter temperatures. Check
out:
http://www.on.ec.gc.ca/weather/winners/intro-e.html
for some really neat stuff.
>Mind you, here in Toontown we were only at -38C. It's supposed to warm

It warmed up considerably here, it went up to a positively balmy -28C
(-18F, Keith) today and it's only about 30 below now. Although -40C
(-40F, Keith) is forecast for tomorrow. The thing I don't like about
this weather is that it takes way too long to get the shop to a
reasonable temperature, like above freezing. Down to about 30 below is
OK.

The original version had "The Leafs win the Cup."
45 below (-48F, Keith) here this morning. That's without wind-chill,
for you southern (i.e. anyone living below the 60th parallel) wimps. I
had to use a Tiger Torch and a battery charger to get the car started
this morning as it hadn't been plugged in properly.
But... are you bragging -- or complaining?

One of the options that shows up on the weather report is "wintry
mix". For those of you outside the area, that means it's snows,
rains, and sleets - all at the same time.

To be fair, only around Boston do they pronounce it "kah". Up here in
New Hampshire we pronounce it "truck".
Oh, and at 20° F my daugter still goes outside in a t-shirt.
Heck, I think I only *own* one long sleeved shirt (it was a gift).
RE: Subject
Major reason I came to SoCal was because I got tired ofg being up to my
armpits in 6 ft of "partly cloudy" from Nov to April in Northern Ohio.
When I arrived in SoCal, thought anything below 50F was unfit for human
habitation.
After being here for awhile, now consider anything below 60F as unfit for
human habitation.
As this is being written, it's about 50F outside.
That sucks but it sure beats what the rest of the country is experiencing.
