Hell, that's nothing. There are days here when it doesn't get _up_ to zero!
And (and this is _not_ an exaggeration) there are days when it's sunny and
hovering just above zero when people consider it a really "nice day" and
walk around with their parkas unzipped. Absolutely true. Ask bbq.

When we moved to Minnesota, the first night the overnight low was -20! In
23+ years living in Detroit I had never seen anything colder than -15. Here
it is, December 7th, technically still _autumn_, and it's -20. Sandi and I
just looked at each other and said "this may have been a mistake". Today?
You couldn't pry me outta this state.
