All the Minnesotans on my list are complaining about the COLD. I'm sure those of you in other places are just rolling your eyes at this because it is, after all, Minnesota in November.
Here's a little perspective...

TWO days ago we had thunderstorms. I didn't have to wear my coat from the car into school.

Today? There were single digit temperatures. It's warmed up a bit now that it is noon...

According to Yahoo Weather, it is currently 15 degrees, and feels like 2 degrees (-9 C & -17 C). So I figured I'd check out the weather somewhere else to make me feel better about it. mcpenguin is currently at McMurdo Base, in Antarctica. It's always cold there. It will make me feel better to see their gods-awful cold temps.
It is 25 degrees there! It feels like 19 degrees! (-4 C & -7 C).

Yes, boys & girls. We will complain about today's cold here in Minnesota because WE ARE COLDER THAN FRICKIN' ANTARCTICA!!!!!!!!!

lol :-)

I rather find it appealing in an "I'm strong enough *grunt* to be a Minnesotan today" kind of way. ^_^

then again...I didn't have to start our car from in a parking lot this morning *wink*

It's true. It's the suddenness of it all that makes us all so cranky. If we gradually dipped into the frigid temps over a period of days (nay, weeks!) we would be fine.

But going from no-jacket weather to face-hurting weather just plain sucks.

Hmmmm, maybe Mpls in January is less of a good idea than we thought.

We're still going to come, though.

uh.. for the record, I don't think I've complained about the cold. I try not to because I want to be free to b*tch about the heat, and really, one oughtn't be negative about everything. So I try to stick to just one climatological phenomenon.
I'm not promising I won't complain about the cold, but it's much too soon after my last whining about being hot.

It's a little chilly here in Los Angeles, too; I think it'll dip down to 46 degrees tonight.
