It’s cold as frozen shit here in the American Midwest and it
doesn’t seem quite fair. Especially when comparing temps with other
‘classically cold’ places;
Temperatures this Monday;
Anchorage, Alaska: Hi 41⁰F Lo 35⁰F
Moscow, Russia: Hi 12⁰F Lo -6⁰F
The North Pole: Hi 29⁰F Lo 15⁰F
Me: Hi 2⁰F Lo -15⁰F
At least it will be colder at the South Pole with a high of
-30⁰F and a low of -33⁰F but that’s really not that comforting. Good luck,
everyone, and I'll leave you with my list of the top ten You Know it's Cold When...
10. You’ve turned the
heat on as high as it can go.
9. You take showers
to stay warm, not to get clean.
8. You stop shaving
your legs because you need that extra hair to stay warm.
7. Given a choice
between a smoothie and bland hot cereal for breakfast, you choose the cereal
and are really excited about it!
6. You stop doing
the dishes and cooking because it’s too cold to be in the kitchen.
5. You have to seal
up your a/c unit to keep from freezing inside your own home.
4. You start to think
of 10⁰F as a lovely, warm day.
3. You have to rush
out and buy a space heater as a matter of safety.
2. You pile all the
blankets on your bed, make a nest and proceed to hibernate like a bear
(including bringing snacks).
1. Your cats join you.
