This is the coldest temperature on record here in Indy. Previous low was -8 in 1936. I know a lot of you folks have some much, much colder temps to deal with, but DAMN, this is cold stuff!
Global warming-my buttcrack! |

For a frozen butt crack, it is best to warm it slowly. By the ingestation of large quantys of Tequila or Rum. Apply them internally. Over several hours. Go to sleep and when you wake it will be warmer out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I feel your pain.
I have a house in Las Vegas half constructed, and I am stuck in St Louis colder than a popsicle. My truck is in the driveway looking like an iceberg. Winter sux. |

I like winter but this 0 to -10 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) sucks! - Garold |

We even had snow in England this past week. It's warmed up now though with temperatures in the low 50's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

I know what you mean. I'm thinking south sounds pretty good. Hopefully in a few years.

Another fun fact. Apparently oil freezes at -45. I was out in the shed rooting around for an extension cord, and I happened to pick up a jug of oil. It was frozen solid. Kind of a scary thought, isn't it?
