Minnesota Winters...

I found this on another blog. Since this is my third winter in MN, I am beginning to understand this kind of mindset. Winter in Minnesota... 60 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat. People in Minnesota plant gardens. 50 above zero: Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Duluth sunbathe. 40 above zero: Italian & English cars won't start. People in Minnesota drive with the windows down. 32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in Bemidji gets thicker. 20 above zero: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in Minnesota throw on a flannel shirt. 15 above zero: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold. Zero: People in Miami all die. Minnesotans close the windows. 10 below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico People in Minnesota get out their winter coats. 25 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Minnesota are selling cookies door to door. 40 below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in Minnesota let the dogs sleep indoors. 100 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Minnesotans get upset because they can't start the Mini-Van. 460 below zero: ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.) People in Minnesota start saying..."Cold 'nuff fer ya?" 500 below zero: Hell freezes over. Minnesota public schools will open 2 hours late.

seriously. (not to jess- to the blog!) is it healthy for your nose hairs to be frozen together the second you step foot out the door??

According to this list - we should be getting our winter coats out this weekend. However, I think i'll be getting out my 3rd layer of winter coats, and still staying inside.
