A zombie stumbled past me one frigid night and says, "brrrrrains. Icee you're frozen with fright at my cold dead hands!" As the frosty thought entered, I snowed it my nippys, which chilled this arctic exchange. :wink:

As we used to say in Minnesnowta:

It's colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra on the north side of a snowbank in Juneau in January.

I love puns so I stole some for giggles

Hear about the Roman general who, every time there was an ice storm, he had an epileptic fit? It was ‘Hail… Seizure!'

NED: Is it likely that fist-sized ice pellets will clog our vacuum?
ED: Yeah, right – maybe when hail freezes hoover.

It's cold out, so I like to go out for some really big sandwiches… It must be the subs-hero temperatures.

You can tell when winter hits hard: look at all the black eyes on the roadway.

Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

Funny image AND historically accurate, too! Yay for trivia-filled-brains!

Amen sister!

I haven't lived there in 30 years and have become so soft that when it gets below 15 here in Kansas City - I'm *almost* like the natives - freezin' my beezers off. But I SO remember when 15 degrees was pretty tropical. I also remember the fashion idiocy of wearing ballet slippers when it was 3 degrees.

Course - I still know how to dress for it. When I was at the "U" I rarely wore jeans or even pants. I'd start with long underwear and two pair of heavy socks covered with knee-high, fur-lined leather boots. Then I'd put on a long wool skirt, a turtleneck and blazer or pullover sweater. Then I'd add the all-wool cardigan under my below-the-knee length coat. I'd wrap a scarf around my neck, put on earmuffs under a heavy faux fur hat and add another scarf to put over my mouth and nose for really cold days. Then it was a pair of heavy gloves under a pair of oversized, heavy knit mittens. Never did feel the cold back then.

Just wanted to add. When my oldest daughter was little, she used to say that she was so cold that she was "freezing her Beaks off." We never did figure out what Beaks were.

It's so cold in Wisconsin that when I started my faithful car this morning the engine didn't purr: it screeched like a sick cat. MRRREEEEEEOOOOOOOOW!!!!! (Wish that one weren't true. *rotfl*)

I remember those days of many layers. Even a fad of knitted nosewarmers too. Nobody knew what you weighed until spring & we tried to de-layer in time to wear the cute Easter frock. Usually froze our buttons off too.
Is it warm anywhere today? Car thermometer registered 12 degrees when I went to work today here in the DC metro area. Tried to keep my frigid digits wrapped around a mug of hot tea all day while wrapped in a pashmina & sitting in front of a cranked up heat dish. I don't envy any of you in the colder climate states.

My Granddad used to say: It's colder than a well-diggers ass.

My car HIGHLY Objected at being started today. I just put a brand new battery, fresh oil change, full lube and total winerization. It still complained, coughed and hesitated.
