Unfortunately, 34 degrees is "freezing" to most Georgia residents. To quote a Visitor's Guide to Atlanta I read years back, "If a single snowflake falls, the city will be paralyzed for three weeks, the grocery stores will sell out of bread and water, and there will be people on every street corner selling 'I Survived The Blizzard' t-shirts."
Yeah, it's pretty much the same deal here in Houston.

When I move to Colorado things will be different.

Sad, but not as much of an exaggeration as I'd like to believe.
There was a young college professor from West Virginia who was part of the department my mom is in. She wanted so much for it to snow so he could see for himself just how wacky it gets down here at a dusting of snow. He couldn't beleive what my mom told him. I understand he's taking another job closer to Atlanta. He'll probably get a chance to see the mayhem. It was actually wintery weather that's hurting our chances of hosting the Super Bowl again. The last time we had it hear, there was a snow or ice storm and it caused attendance to be well off the mark most likely because of airport tie-ups. The NFL don't need to worry about that happening again. It's not like ice storms are an annual occurence in Atlanta around the time of the Super Bowl. Well at the rate, the game will probably stay restricted to Florida, Texas, and New Orleans most likely. Boy...I just completely ran this conversation well off the tracks. Oh well.

To pull it further off-topic, our marching band actually performed at the Georgia Dome two years in a row my freshman and sophomore years in high school. Worst acoustics EVER.

The lowest it's ever gotten here was –52 C.
we hit -38 with windchill, and i think thats about as cold as we've ever got without it either.

It's not shiny enough until you can see your face in it.

My skin looks like it should belong to a chicken. You can blame Winnipeg for that.

Today I wore a thin sweatshirt for the first time this school year. Still holding out on the pants though; I can still use shorts for a good week or two yet.

Ugh shorts.

I'll wear jeans even it's its in the triple digits outside. Unless I'm running.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...
