So much for global warming...
It's a little bit cold here in Minnesota this morning. This is not the coldest weather I have been in, but it's getting pretty close. The coldest day I remember was 36 below zero. Why do I remember that? Because I was with the Wayzata Fire Department at the time, and we were out fighting a house fire that morning. Yes, spraying water on a house at 36 below zero. We were on the national news that mornin.
The temperature image here is captured from the Minneapolis Star Tribune web site, and is only slightly warmer than the actual temperature (-25.2) at our house this morning. Once it gets this cold a few more degrees does not really matter, but drawing a deep breath through your nose on a morning like today is enough to wake up even the most stubborn of non-morning people, ME.
I love having a digital projection clock and thermometer (see the Oregon Scientific web site to see the unit I own), but when you wake up and see -25.2 projected on the ceiling, it pretty much makes you want to roll over and go back to sleep until summer.
