| Plate Coral  | Temperatures... Canadian vs. American 50° Fahrenheit (10° C): Californians shiver uncontrollably. Canadians plant gardens. 35° Fahrenheit (1.6° C) Italian Cars won't start Canadians drive with the windows down 32° Fahrenheit (0 ° C) American water freezes Canadian water gets thicker. 0° Fahrenheit (-17.9° C) New York City landlords finally turn on the heat. Canadians have the last cookout of the season. -60° Fahrenheit (-51° C) Mt. St. Helens freezes. Canadian Girl Guides sell cookies door-to-door. -100° Fahrenheit (-73° C) Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Canadians pull down their ear flaps. -173° Fahrenheit (-114° C) Ethyl alcohol Freezes. Canadians get frustrated when they can't thaw the keg. -460° Fahrenheit (-273° C) Absolute zero; all atomic motion stops. Canadians start saying "cold, eh?" -500° Fahrenheit (-295° C) Hell freezes over. The Ottawa Senators win the Stanley Cup Kind of old, but I still find it funny. lol

It was 18 with a -2 windchill in Raleigh, NC yesterday. Probably the coldest temperature I ever remember experiencing (with the wind chill). I think I will stay where those temperatures are unseasonably cold... And to think I dreamt of moving to Vermont... Take er easy SCott T.
