    Of course, the reason it's so cold is because the world is so warm. Remember that! :lol:

    Oh, and it's snowing outside in Rancho Cordova right now - first time since 1941.

    -13 now, yes feels like -20 (whatever they say, right? ;-))
    This is what they have planned here in the mountains... Christmas will be white, but around New Year... +2 :?

    -20? I don't even button my jacket for that... :wink:

    I actually prefer -10 to when it floats around zero, mostly because driving is awful, with slushy roads during the day and ice at night.

    So do I. Its beautiful now, full sun, pretty cold, hardly any wind, clear and almost clean roads, about a ft of snow on the ground... This part of winter I love!
