You guys in Florida don't even have a clue as to when it's cold. It's 23 in Kansas City right now. T-shirt weather. I heard Minnesota is nice in January.

Somebody tell this poor "cold" brother what COLD really means!! You sound like some of my California friends that put on jackets when it's in the 60's...!

No knock on Californian's, I'm one myself (a long time ago...)

I lived in Ohio for 4 years and will never forget all those weeks of "highs in the low teens and lows between 0 and 10 degrees." Now THAT's cold.

The mayor has declared a State of Emergency.

Hospital phone lines are jammed with callers reporting that they've actually seen their breath asking if that is harmful to your health.

The phone company is getting calls asking if phone calls will still go through frozen phone lines.

McDonald's is selling "McFreezeYourButtOff" coffee.
