How cold was it in Chicago? Let's put it this way: it was so cold that when firefighters fought the fire in a blazing abandoned warehouse, the Water froze while the building was still on fire!

Just dropped my daughter at school and a girl was walking with a hoodie and capris. Come on now... LOL. Its brutal today.

i am in cords and a sweater (yes both too big but i love the baggy)

and whining about the 34 degrees outside....you'd think i have frostbite on my hands by now

Dawn - now that is a bit nuts. She must be young!

CG - first, I love the baggy too! Nice to have some clothes that actually are now! And I think MN has it way worse than we do. I'm a wuss about the cold weather too but not enough to move I guess. I just sit here and complain about it. :-)

i was excited when we moved there

those cities are pretty and i loved the 4 seasons.

in mn, i remember on the weather channel on new years eve

the scroll at the bottom said -79 below w/wind chill.....

that was the coldest i ever been in....

its true, the wind makes it colder that is true.

and your skin....dry dry dry. use to bath my baby son in bath

with baby oil to keep his skin soft.

79 below!!! That's arctic! 30-40 below is as cold as I can remember around here. And dry doesn't begin to describe it! I am slathering on so much lotion right now so I don't end up resembling a really big alligator bag! :-). The seasons are pretty though and all my family is here too. Besides, we may get heat and freezing temps but non other natural disasters like mud slides, hurricanes, etc. I just feel like I'm in a pretty safe spot.

i love the coast.....god i love the ocean.....i love the heat

gimme summer time all the time...

i must have been a piece of sand or something in another life.

A girlfriend on mine who ironically lives in MN also loves heat and sun. She can sit in the sun when its 104 outside and not even break a sweat. She also loves to sleep. She said she thinks she was a cat in a previous life since all they Sonia sleep in the sun all day!

we have a wee lake house (my shanty) on a local lake here

that we go to on weekends (about 45 min from my house)

and hub ties me to the pier on my floatie (true story) and i am

out there all day....he'd come check on me every so often, bring me
