4) Lake Carnegie is completely frozen

3) wardrobe is coordinated according to whether longjohns can be accomodated

2) the radio announcer chirpily tries to make 20 degrees sound like a heat wave

1) our five year old plaintively asks for soup for breakfast

You forgot "pre-heating" the bed by turning the electric blanket to Bake!

Although I have cyberfriends in Wisconsin and other ridiculously cold places, I still had to whine the other day when we were looking forward to the windchill going UP to zero.

Today the temp is supposed to go up to FREEZING here for the first time in days and days. Maybe we'll go swimming later.

You haven't really experienced cold until -35 is a heat wave. In Interior Alaska, I've known people to unzip their parkas and walk down the street singing, "We're havin' a heatwave, a tropical heatwave" when we went up from -50.
