Kids have gotten tougher the last year
This morning at 7:15 a.m. it was:
That's -17 C for you metric system folks. Last year when it hit zero, school was canceled for a week.
I wrapped a towel around me before I went out to start the van.
(I will leave it to you to find your way to my blog entries, of a week ago, on The Bahamas and Florida)

I once watched a guy dive into a snowbank wearing only a towel when it was that cold. It was the temperature that got him; it was the fact that the snowbank was actually a woodpile with 4" of snow covering.

Icy Mt that made me snort!
Delmer...your friends are trying to upstage you - kill them immediately!

What do you expect with blog entries that are this short? I know it's Friday and stuff but what gives? No pictures of the new footprints? D doesn't need to kill me, he can just report my usage and I'm finished.
I'm as bad as Delmer but I can't edit..."It WASN'T the temp..."

Come on Icy, you "watched a guy"? that sounds like "one time this, uh, friend of mine did this really stupid thing...."

Wow, that's chilly. The coldest I've ever experienced in Australian was a frost of -8C at Benambra.

IcyMt: Was it in college? And was the guy a frat boy?
Lady P: I work with a diverse collection of jokers. They're hard to keep up with humor-wise.
Mike O: Good point.
Michael: Yea, but I think I'd take the cold we get over the heat you get almost any day. What was it, 42C? (107F) that you had a short while back.

His name was Keith (not Icy) and he wasn't a frat boy unless you count ITK (I Tappa Kegga). He needed Advil immediately. The rest of us didn't need Advil until the next morning.
