Title: North Dakota Cold
Post by: Judy Hunter on December 14, 2012, 10:18:30 am

It's winter in Wisconsin & Minnesota
And the gentle breezes blow,
70 miles per hour at 52 below!
Oh, how I love this state
When the snow's up to your butt;
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose is frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful,
You may think I'm a fool.
I could never leave this place ,
Cause I'm frozen to the stool.

It's messages like this that remind me how much I love living in Florida!  Got cold here last night.  All the way down in the 60's!

Hi G B, I know exactly where you're coming from. I used to have a poly tunnel as a shop. Would have been warmer in a big IGLOO. LOL.

If the breezes blew 70 miles per hour and it was 52 below, we here in Florida would be screwed.  ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)

BTW we beat you Bill, got down to 58? here last night. LOL   :P

I have only seen snow once in the last 41 years and it never gets below 10c in the winter really. Guess we are lucky weather wise.

In Iowa you can tell when you are getting old when you take your long johns off in June and put them back on in August. For some of you it is your Dr. Dentons.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
