THE QUEEN CITY TEMPERATURE CONVERSION CHART
60° F: Arizonans shiver uncontrollably; people in Buffalo are still sunbathing. 50° F: Californians try to turn on the heat; people in Buffalo plant gardens. 40° F: Italian sports cars won’t start; people in Buffalo drive with the windows down. 32° F: Distilled water freezes; Lake Erie water gets thicker. 20° F: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves and wool hats; people in Buffalo throw on a light jacket. 15° F: People in Buffalo have the last cookout before it gets cold. 0° F: All the people in Phoenix die. Buffalonians close the windows. 10° below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico . The Girl Scouts in Buffalo are selling cookies door to door. 25° below zero: Hollywood disintegrates; people in Buffalo get out their winter coats. 40° below zero: Washington, DC runs out of hot air; people in Buffalo let the dogs sleep indoors. 100° below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Buffalonians get frustrated because they can’t start the car. 460° below zero: All atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale); people in Buffalo start saying, “Cold enough for ya?” 500° below zero: Hell freezes over. The Bills win the Super Bowl. This is pretty accurate.
Well done!
17 years in Buffalo,NY.
Very close to what I remember.
I remember one winter I wore long pants for about a week and a half.
Played hockey since I was about 6, all the way through high school. Never played on an indoor rink until I was 17.
Pretty cute!
Here in TN we brought the dogs in last night
:)
I survived the Blizzard of 77. But I moved away from the cold and the taxes.
Bwahahahahaha ... didn’t know you knew that trick for keeping warm. Rascal you are

Here in SE Texas it fell colder yesterday than the day before.
Speaking of temps, what’s with the “chill factor”?
“What’s the temp?”
“It’s 36 but it feels like 19.”
“If it feels like 19, it IS 19.”
Stolen from Chicago.
Or vice versa.
In Buffalo at 60° F we are having pool parties
Actually, in Buffalo it very seldom gets as cold as 0° due to the warming effect of Lake Erie. There are many, many places such as Minn., So.Dakota, upper Mich. that get a hell of a lot colder every year. We do get some snow though. Once in a while.
Thanks
How dare you!
Or vice versa.
That's better :)
What do they wear when winter comes?

Just picking nits: 1) this is absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale. On the Kelvin scale absolute zero is 0. 2) It's just zero point energy. Atomic motion cannot completely stop because of Quantum Mechanics. 3) Somewhere around 1000o F below zero, it stops snowing in Buffalo.
I have no dogs so I froze last night :(
at my daughters house they brought even the dog who loves the cold inside..
and Im told none of the 3 cats demanded to go out ...
:)
My little tuxedo cat took me to the door to let her out this morning (it was 5 outside). when I opened the door for her, she squinted her eyes, turned, and ran from the doorway. Too cccccold for even her furry self. She did sit at the window of my office and watch the birds finishing off the rackies food that went untouched last night.
It was my job to keep it shoveled. Many weeks that meant shoveling before and after school and then just before bed. If it wasn't snowing, then the wind just blew it in, even with a couple rows of windward snow fence.
