AAAAND everywhere I went for the past 2 days is sold out of ice melt! I want rain! (for those who are metric-ly disabled, -18 is about -1 your language)

But even if you were here (1567 miles South of you) it would still be 20 degrees and everything covered with nearly 1/2 inch of ice. It's gonna take a couple of thousand miles to get thawed these days. Cheer up, the days are getting longer and groundhogs day is just a month away. (Thats when they will tell us its another 4 months till Spring).

Frozen nostrils! Heck yes, cold takes on a whole new dimension up that way. I was in Detroit one winter and swear to God I think my eyeballs were frozen.

Now I look out the window and there isn't a snowflake in sight. Sure, it snows, but it seems to melt right away. Hmmm... Then again, everyone in the 70's was worried about global cooling! PS. I see this thread devolving into a Monty Python sketch pretty soon...

Forecast is 81 degrees F tomorrow. :P If the polar caps start to melt then the Mai Kai's in big trouble. :wink:

We got 6-8 inches of snow which makes the Tikis look a little forlorn....

For those of you who have never experienced frozen nostrils, you just haven't lived! I worked on the Shipping dock of the Sears warehouse in Manteno, Il, & had my nostril hairs freeze @ work. I'm much happier here in North County San Diego, but sometimes I'm still jealous of all that nice weather down south on Coronado...

When it's that cold, I'd say stay home and try to invent a Tiki drink called the Mukluk! Mukluk has a sort of Tiki sound to it. Maybe even design a Mukluk mug to put it in!

It was almost 80 yesterday here in the lower deserts of Southern California. That's the good part. The bad part is that it gets to 113-116F during our summer months!
