Yup, it gets chilly here in Maine sometimes. It hasn't been too bad yet this winter--this morning I think has been about the coldest so far--around 4 below at my house--colder up North.
The worst I've seen it is -30 with no wind chill. When you step outside and your nostrils instantly freeze together and you can hear the trees around you cracking from the sap freezing, it's cold. Don't even get me started about having to go to the outhouse at camp (up by the Canadian border in Houlton) when it's -30!
Regards,
Michael

I just wanted to say that I live out here in the flatlands North of the Windy and just spittin' distance South of the Cheddar Curtain and I don't know a lot but our first two chilluns spent their freshman year at college at The University of the Tundra, yep, UNM, up in gorgeous Marquette, Michigan on the tropical southern shoreline of Lake Superior, in the beautiful U.P.
Sooooo...I thought I'd share this with you in an email or IM but didn't know how so here goes...Hope you enjoy all the comparisons--------

Albie, you are too much!
And you nailed the SoCal. Actually at 40 degrees men no longer go outside because it is too cold for shorts and they can't remember where they put their last pair of long pants. And women won't go out because the only shoes they own are flip-flops.
You got your bedroom/slipper flip-flops, your pool flip-flops, your just running to store flip-flops, your business casual flip-flops, and your formal flip-flops. Teva and other companies have even introduces your running flip-flops, and your hiking flip-flops.
And how did this morph from "oh that scale" to "oh that thermometer"? Who cares!

RE: Albie, you are too much!
Thanks for all the great participation, everyone! I'm just trying to lend my two cents to the collective effort and I know that smiles, grins and laughter burn calories! Scientists Think Laughing Helps Shed Pounds
