- The squeegy at the gas station is frozen in the bucket of windshield cleaner
- The half cup of coffee you left in the car in the morning is a cup of black ice in the evening
- Your overcoat crackles as you walk outside
- You feel the cold through the soles of your shoes
- That unopened coke can in your car becomes a soda bomb sometime during the day
- The ice chunks on your wheel wells start looking nice
- All the cars are the same shade of road salt grey
- Wind chill factor is meaningless
- Snowblower envy
- You stroll to the mailbox in shirtsleeves if the temp warms up to the twenties
- Global warming seems to be taking way too long
- The stars are out at 5pm and 7pm seems way past bedtime.
- A "great" weekend is any time the temp is in the 30's.
- Any flight you're on is to someplace warmer.
- You love it
Recollections and thoughts on life in Minnesota and the midwest... My Catholic faith, my family, travels, the state. Occasional ramblings about an old smoker and the quest for perfect barbecue.
