You wanna talk about cold.... we got down to 32.3F last week and had a light frost! Took me almost 5 minutes to heat the truck and defrost the windshield! I was freezing my butt off! Sure am glad it warmed up to a chilly but livable 58F by afternoon. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Ah... and to think I almost took a job in Juno a couple years ago. So glad I didn't after hearing these stories.

Several years back, a colleague and I went on a business trip from Calgary to New Orleans in early December. The temperature when we left Calgary was -30 C (-22 F). The overnight low in N'awlins the night we arrived was 31 F - it was the first time in more than a decade that the temperature had dropped below freezing.

And yet, bizarrely enough, my co-worker and I felt like we were freezing because of the dampness in the air. I had never before quite believed the stories about "dry cold vs. damp cold" making such a huge difference. But it really does - dry cold feels bitterly cold on the skin, but the damp cold felt like it went right through to the bone. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

You should come to southeast Texas!
90% at 33 deg.! a lot of the time.
It is actually GOOD when the temp. drops below 32deg.
It dries the air out!

I spent a lot of years in houston ... not much better in the summer either. If I hadn't lived there for 11 years I would have never believed 99 degrees 99% humidity was possible... and without rain. Walk outside with a book of matches in your pocket and they are soaked in minutes! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ah the memories ... LOL
