    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!
