Go to a local restaurant with a walk-in freezer. The walk-in freezers are typically -10 degrees or so. We are colder than that. Then, bring a fan into the freezer with you.
I thought you were getting out of dodge for the MN winter?

S. Fla, in the dead of winter now: Will barely break over 72, bright and sunny, no clouds or rain all day. Gonna be like this most of the week.

This is the weather that makes the hurricanes almost worth it!

14 degrees in NYC. That's about 20 degrees below average I think. On New Years day two years ago I ran into the Atlantic Ocean at Coney Island with a wild & crazy group called the polar bears & the temperature was a balmy 40 degrees. Didn't realize how lucky that was! Wonderful experience but I'm glad I wasn't planning to do it this year.

Back to reality for us. Just ended our Caribbean cruise, and we're headed home to New Jersey where wind chill expected to be -1F. Yikes.

I cannot abide the cold

A poem composed today by “Calico" Seuss

I cannot go outside to play
It's very, very cold today
Outside the temp is 27
Inside the temp is 72
I will not go outside today
The cats and I are in to STAY.

Each day this week will be this cold
The cats and I have now been told
We have our blankets, food and drink
We'll hibernate all week I think.

With Roku, Netflix, Amazon
I say to Nature: bring it on!
Popcorn and kitties by my side
I'm warm and toasty here inside.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

28F here right now, with a hard freeze warning and wind chill advisory.

Pretty cold outside for New Orleans, even though it's not -31F like it is in Music Lover's location.
