Cold.

You know it's cold when....

1. Ice Crystals form on the middle of the window for no apparent reason.
2. Your thermostat kicks on every 5 minutes.
3. The tires on the car look like they are loosing air.
4. Snow crunches under your feet when you walk outside.
5. The salt on the sidewalks doesn't work.
6. The steaming hot coffee in your super cool travel mug is lukewarm after a 5 minute walk.
7. 4 layers does not keep you warm.
8. When Minnesotan's complain that it's cold.
9. Every smoke stack, car exhaust, manhole cover etc. is billowing a white cloud.
10. The snot and hair in your nose freeze as soon as you step outside.

Welcome to -21 Degrees ladies and gentlemen. No wonder Minnesotans are tough.

Awwww. Poor baby. It's 50 and sunny in the Willamette Valley today. And I'm wearing a turtleneck. That probably seems ridiculous to you "rugged" types. Hang in there and STAY INSIDE!
