re: #121 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

When I was on my India visit, the topic of the weather came up frequently, as everyone wanted to know how we were enjoying their “cold winter weather” (68 degrees F for a low; 20 degrees C). When I told them that temperatures routinely dipped below -20 degrees C and that we almost always saw one or more days with a low temperature of -40 degrees (F and C), most of them shuddered and stared as if we were crazy for wanting to live here. One adventurous soul, however, volunteered himself to bravely come over one winter and experience ice fishing with us. Heh heh.

About 10 years ago, I had a friend in Dallas (originally from Louisiana) that I had talked into visiting MN just before Christmas. About a week before he was going to come up he had to cancel because he got too busy at work. We were both kind of glad he bailed because that week was as cold as it is this weekend. He dodged a bullet and it would have been a pain trying to justify why I live in such a place.

The next time I visited him there was an ice storm, and he had gotten back together with his awful ex-boyfriend so that was the end of my trips to Dallas.
