Just thought I'd ask how is it in your redneck of the woods?
I emailed a friend in Minneapolis earlier today, and he indicated that it was 20 & sunny, or literally, "twunny in sunny" (horrible Norsk accent).
2 mins later, I spoke with a friend on the phone in Fargo, ND, and he indicated that it was -16F (~-33C) and I nearly did a backflip!!! It was 36 degrees difference between my old home, and my 2nd to last home--and it's only a 3 hour drive!!
From there, I logged on to www.signonsandiego.com (local newspaper) and found the forecast was 84F. Now if you are good at math, that's 100 Degrees of Separation!!!!! 84- (-16) = 100.
Now I can understand someone saying 20 degrees is twice as 'cold' as 40 degrees, and 10 is 4 times as cold, but how the heck do you compare 100 degrees????
In the interest of fairness to our neighbors in South DaCanada, I've created a little comparison chart between 'Southern North Dakota' and Southern California to assist those that lack the perspective as to where I came from, and where I'm at now.
In California in the winter:
In North Dakota in the winter:
CA: Bras are left open on women, or not worn at all.
ND: Only bras left open are on the front of a car
ND: Frozen fruit sales are very low
CA: Frozen fruit means a gay guy locked in a walk-in cooler
ND: Red State, became a blue state
CA: Blue state, but at 84degrees, you'd think it was red
ND: White flakes on shoulder are snow/ice crystals
CA: The Flakes actually have shoulders
ND: Near Blizzard Condition involves visibility
CA: Near blizzard condition means 1/2 block from Dairy Queen
CA: Open refridgerator door, light comes on
ND: Open any door, refridgerator light comes on
CA: Miniskirts running wild
ND: Only skirt is on a Winnebago
Please feel free to make some comparisons for me.
