Winter in Wisconsin
I think you will enjoy this. To understand the context, I went outside this morning, about 8:30 am, to start my truck and thought to myself, “Wow, its pretty nice out (it has been very cold lately).” I then started my truck and went back inside the house to hear the radio weatherman announce that it was 8 degrees below zero! Something is wrong when you can think that -8 is comfortable.
Cold is Relative……….and a good part of this is true
60 above zero:Floridians turn on the heat. People in Wisconsin plant gardens.
50 above zero:Gulf Coast people shiver uncontrollably. People in Milwaukee sunbathe.
40 above zero:English cars won’t start. People in Wisconsin drive with the windows down.
32 above zero:Distilled water freezes.The water in Green Bay gets thicker.
20 above zero:Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, and wool hats. People in Wisconsin throw on a flannel shirt.
15 above zero:New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Wisconsin have the last cookout before it gets cold.
Zero:People in Miami all die. Wisconsinites close the windows.
10 below zero:Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Wisconsin get out their winter coats.
25 below zero:Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Wisconsin are selling cookies……….door to door.
40 below zero:Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in Wisconsin let the dogs sleep indoors.
100 below zero:Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Wisconsinites get upset because they can’t start the Mini-Van.
