My wife had to go to Canada on business a few years ago. While she was up there, she told me on the phone that our idea of frigid is the Canadians' idea of "brisk."

Holy cow. I get chilblains just thinking about it. Despite that, she said Canada is beautiful and wants to go there on vacation sometime. Guess I should get some electric socks to take with me or I'll never make it. Grin.
