How to know when it is cold outside...

Now, this is not to scare those of you who may not be from the frozen tundra up here...there are only a few days that live up to these descriptions -one of those happened to be today! BRRR

  • The car washes are closed- too cold!
  • The dog doesn't want to go out at all- but makes her trips very quick!
  • It hurts to breath through your nose (nostrils freeze) and through your mouth (teeth freeze)- cure is to wear a scarf
  • The car finally warms up after you reach your destination
  • You remember that there was a reason to buy a coat with a hood
  • The neighbors disappear behind your not-so-well-insulated windows
  • The automatic car windows refuse to budge- no take out windows for you! (Was true for both cars today and they spent most of the day in the garage!)
  • The Dairy Queen starts writing messages on their sign "we need customers!" -I actually saw this today!
  • If it gets really cold you can blow bubbles and watch them bounce on the snow
  • There will still be a large number of fisherman- possible more than usual since they can now drive on the ice (those fish houses are heated don't ya know)
  • You thing that the cart return guys probably aren't earning enough money
  • The fireplace/space heater, a good book, and a blanket are sounding REALLY inviting
That is all that I can come up with for now...anyone else have any other great signs of a cold day?
