And for some reason, I can't get my wife to step outside and take a picture of me, kilted, standing by a bank sign that's flashing the temperature

.

Maybe it's the -40F wind chill. I told her she's a wimp

.

She says I need to get a job.

Ah winter in the frozen north! today it's a braceing -20F at 10:30 am with windchills around -50F. As W.C Feilds once said "It ain't a fit day out for man nor beast" (that may have been "night" not day come to think about it). Anywhoo indoors is definitly nicer!

Can we say brrrrr (I think I wanna go back to 'Zona for theraputic reasons!)

That is not as cold as I have heard our Alaskan & Siberian members talk about, BUT THAT IS COLD. A lot colder than I want to be in. You Minnesota have it too chilly for this southern boy.

Though it is not as cold temperature wise, I would be the first to wager that the percieved temperature is much colder than here. It is currently -22F here, with virtually no wind, and also very dry. I have been to the Twin Cities area and know the cold there is quite different and will soak right into you. Oh and here's a pic from last winter....I actually talked the wife into going out and taking it!

And, AKG, I'm guessing your wife needed a handtruck to wheel you home after the pic. Looks like a cotton kilt....

Somewhere in Arizona there may be a temperature sign with a minus feature...but I doubt it...

Well, if you're talking about single-malt 'anti-freeze' and the like, not a drop. But in all honesty I wasn't hanging around out there for any longer than it took the shutter to snap a few times!
