I can't imagine living, or choosing to be, in such a cold climate.

Thankfully, I live in the South now and rarely need a coat. Great writing voice! I loved reading your post.

Being from the South, I haven't experienced really cold weather, except the times I traveled to NY for Christmas and to visit my brother at West Point. I HATE to wear a coat, too restricting. Even when it's in the 30s I won't wear one, but carry it with me in the car just in case. Give me sleeveless blouses or moo-moos and Susan F.

When I was a kid there were times it was too dangerous to go outside, and minus 30 below was the big temp you watched for. But that was back before they included the wind chill factor, so who knows how cold the effective temp was!

I got cold just reading his and Lynns story. I used to live in Upstate new York and it got very cold there but nothing like this.<br />Thank you so much.<br />Many Blessings<br />IngridAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893053917609496114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-41568986175771182272012-07-18T13:41:28.586-04:002012-07-18T13:41:28.586-04:00Double wow, Lynn!
