I sent an E-mail to my best friend in Smyrna (just down the road from ya') razzing him about his "cold" weather. Told him our high was 0* (zero) and we still have 2 ft of snow from the holiday storm. No reply yet.
Since I've been transplanted from the GA/FL area 6 years ago, I've learned to layer clothes, use thermal skivvies, hat, gloves, boots and all the other goodies. BUT, when the high is 0* or below, We hunker down! The only interaction with the outside is via the windows.
At least that's how I do it. _________________ I was taught to respect my elders. It's just getting harder to find them.

It's a balmy 19* here today only 2 - 3" of uncleared snow on the ground and sidewalks, the roads are clear for the most part.
The 10 day forecast has no snow or rain, so it's looking good for weather.
It's so dry out here even when it snows, I have shoveled snow many a time with sandal's on down to about 12*, below that I will put socks and shoes or even boots when it gets too much below that.
Otherwise you layer up, and cope.
I was watching something about Alaska the other day and the guy was running around in about as much as I put on at 7* and he was saying it was -35*, them guys in the really cold places must have different metabolisms than the hotter humans do!  _________________ Here's a change Robert.

High of 9*F here today. Friggin' balmy for this time of year My dad always said 'There aint no bad weather, just a bad choice in clothes'. Plus it helps to have remote therms to watch the pits from my nice warm couch  _________________ ~Joe

I guess one just gets used to it. . . . Having a layer of "winter wool" doesn't hurt either! I love Q'ing in the snow (but, then again, I've been accused of being an over-zealous Q-fiend!)

Last couple nights it has been down to 0F and the car has been rather hard to start in the morning..
If it dont get warmer soon I will be claiming environmental refugee status to the state of Florida as this winter stuff is killing me.
Then you get those mentally unstable folks that like to go out on a snow machine or ice fish in this weather. Not for me I say. Rather be sweating than freezing my kahonies off any day. _________________ Chargriller Akorn

Get the winter woolies outta storage. Reckon they'll break out the smudge pots and be spraying water on the orange trees tonite on the other side of the bay.  _________________ I was taught to respect my elders. It's just getting harder to find them.

Low 30's here in MA. Sounds like we're having a heat wave compared to some. I am less hardy than most and packed away the smoker when the white stuff started flying. _________________ Chris from Uxbridge,MA
