The Deep Freeze

We've been in a terrible deep freeze for the last couple of weeks.  There were very few days it was even above zero.  I'm already sick of winter and it hasn't even started yet!

Then finally yesterday it was about 17 degrees, I think.  We didn't even wear coats.  That's why I laughed when my mom sent me this.  It is completely true.

COLD IS A RELATIVE THING. . . . . . .BRRRRR!!

65 above zero:
Floridians turn on the heat.

People in Montana plant gardens.

60 above zero:

Californians shiver uncontrollably.

People in Montana sunbathe.

50 above zero:

Italian & English cars won't start.

People in Montana drive with the windows down.

40 above zero:

Georgians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats.

People in Montana throw on a flannel shirt.

35 above zero:

New York landlords finally turn up the heat.

People in Montana have the last cookout before it gets cold.

20 above Zero:

People in Miami all die.

Montanans close the windows.

Zero:

Californians fly away to Mexico .

People in Montana get out their winter coats.

10 below zero:

Hollywood disintegrates.

The Girl Scouts in Montana are selling cookies door to door.

20 below zero:

Washington DC runs out of hot air.

People in Montana let the dogs sleep indoors.

30 below zero:

Santa Claus abandons the North Pole.

Montanas get upset because they can't start the Snow-mobile.

40 below zero:

ALL atomic motion stops.

People in Montana start saying...'Cold enough fer ya?'

50 below zero:

Hell freezes over.

Montana public schools will open 2 hours late

Isn't that the truth?  I can only remember one time in the last 31 years that school was closed due to cold.  It was 40 below zero, without the windchill.  I remember playing outside in the back yard that day...my boogers froze.
Don't all you former Montana dwellers miss the cold that is so bad, your boogers freeze?  We don't call it cold here unless it's booger-freezen' cold!
