Dear gorgeous sunlight outside my window: I know your tricks. It is minus twelve thirteen out there. You are not going to convince me otherwise. Love, Me.
You lie! Temperatures don't get that cold in the real world!

Ok, maybe they do. Still, that kind of thing sounds pretty exotic to us 'uns down here in Tejas. Enjoy it before global warming kicks in for good, at least...
Tejas, hell; the Puget Sound never even gets down to zero. As far as my heritage is concerned, that's the surface of the goddamn moon out there. o_o
I've talked with people who lived here long before global warming started to become obvious, and they have got some horror stories, no mistake. The words "minus forty" once escaped someone's lips, and I said, "Bullshit." I refuse to check the almanacs, because I frankly don't want to know.
Ha!
