"Sometimes, the wind can blow at 40 miles an hour (sustained) and it can be 25 degrees out. You KNOW the wind chill is going to be nasty...around -24. *Br-r-r-r-r!*"

Just your description would make me want to find a bear's den and curl up beside the bear.

Just got this awful groaner in my e-mail, so I thought I'd inflict it on someone else:

How Poetic

A dreary dreamy young poet
Sailed off to a South Sea isle.
He met a girl named Laura
Who bewitched him with her smile.

Often she would dance for him.
He and she were pals.
But no one ever told him
That she was a cannibal gal.

One fine day she ate him -
'Tis sad to tell of his fate.
How hard to be remembered
As the poet Laura-ate.

["Burna Shave" seems like the appropriate last line ending]

In some of the nastier winters here, I've been known to wear thermal underwear, two pairs of socks, two sweaters, and a jacket IN THE HOUSE!

I have an electric mattress pad and flannel sheets and a down comforter. I can put on enough to almost be warm!
