Last summer, we had a "It's So Hot..." thread going. In response:

It's SO cold, my gas log is wearing a parka...

yeah...I know about Floridians.  I was down there in Ft Lauderdale in May one year...it was 65 and people were wearing sweaters and complaining about the cold... For me, until it drops below 40, it's nothing worse than cool, chilly to 30, cold to 15, then frigid below that. But I haven't lived up north for quite a while and am somewhat a wimp...  :D

Believe me, I'm not a floridian. The lows here are what I would rather have for highs.

From the "way back when" dept.  Something my father said a few times when I was youngster.

"It's colder then a witches t$t in a brass bra".

FYI:

The 'balls off a brass monkey' saying that refers to cannon balls on a ship is completely false.

Either way, I wouldn't be licking any flagpoles for a while.

LOL, RenStarr, my dad used to and still does say that every winter! That and "colder than a boulder". Though I am not entirely sure where THAT came from.  ::)
Its so cold here we can drive the car across the lake.(true!)

It's so cold ... that the sun bathers are asking for fur bikini's.

(I actually got a question about a commion to make some one a sew of fur undies to wear in cold weather. Part of me wanted to ask her, "Do you want them suitable to wear during hot weather at a Ren Faire as well?")  ;D

Believe me, if that wouldn't put us that much further away from our son in NYC, we would be giving it a lot more consideration...

Well, a flight is a flight, whether it's 5 hours or 6...  ;) 

I do understand not wanting to increase distance, though.  :-\

We don't fly anymore.  Fed up with the government interference (and thefts from our luggage last time we flew).
