    Can we have a shiver smiley? Please! I'm in NYC, it's currently -19C with wind-chill (-2F in old money). What's it like where you are? If it's colder I might feel better ;) Gary You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, "My God, you're right! I never would've thought of that!" - Dave Barry

This morning it got to 38 but its supposed to warm up to about 73 by 1:00 PM. I wore my shorts to work but had to wear a long sleeve shirt - damn I hate winter. We have a Canadian cold front moving in by Wed. however ( can't them damn Canadians do anything right ) and its supposed to drop us into the high 40's ruining a perfectly good Christmas . We have a forcasted low of 25 for Wed. night and it will be chilly thru the week but we should be back into the 50's 60's for the New Year. I remember one Christmas ( 1969 ) when we all went swimming at a local lake on Christmas day. It was in the high 70's low 80's. A few years later ( 1980 ) we went to sleep on New Years Eve with temps in the 60's and woke up New Years Day to a gigantic ice storm - 2-3" of ice coating everything - power lines down - freeways closed - TV and Radio stations off the air - trees fell all over the place. Texas - gotta love it. Richard "Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer --Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

        Daniel, four letters for you my friend (since I'm in NYC as well): STFU :) You evil little turd :) 24C - grrrrr!!! I hate winter! If only I could convince my wife to relocate to Rio! And for whatever reason, whenever I show her pictures of how beautiful the scenery is, she doesn't seem to share my enthuisiasm! Maybe they are the wrong pictures?

                AH, I see that cold snap lightened up since it passed through here. Twas -19C (-3F) actual -37C (-35F) something wind chill when that weather system was here in Iowa yesterday. Now are you not glad that we hearty Iowans take edge off the nasty weather for you :)
