NEW ENGLAND TEMPERATURE CONVERSION CHART

60° F: Southern Californians shiver uncontrollably.  People in New
England sunbathe.

50° F: New Yorkers try to turn on the heat.  People in New England plant
gardens.

40° F: Italian & English cars won't start.  People in New England drive
with the windows down.

32° F: Distilled water freezes.  Maine's Moosehead Lake's water gets
thicker.

20° F: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats.
People in New England throw on a flannel shirt.

15° F: New York landlords finally turn up the heat.  People in New
England have the last cookout before it gets cold.

0° F: All the people in Miami die.  New Englanders close the windows.

10° below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico.  The Girl Scouts in New
England are selling cookies door to door.

25° below zero: Hollywood disintegrates.  People in New England get out
their winter coats.

40° below zero: Washington, DC runs out of hot air.  People in New
England let the dogs sleep indoors.

100° below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole.  New Englanders
get frustrated because they can't start their "kahs."

460° below zero: All atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin
scale).
People in New England start saying, "cold 'nuff for ya?"

500° below zero: Hell freezes over.  The Red Sox win the World Series!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

  It has been since 1918, but at last, from 3-0 against the Yankees in
the ALCS, and 3 outs away from going out: playing against the team that
won 105 starts in the regular season: with Schilling pitching on one
leg: with a great bullpen and wonderful batters: with Pedro: after four
times losing 4-3 in a World Series: the Red Sox have done it!

  The curse of the bambino is dead!  Go BoSox!

I have it on good authority that this process actually starts around 60
degrees for Floridians. Thin skin ;)

Actually, when it goes below 70, they burst into tears and have
tantrums. ;)

Congrats on the Bo-Sox win.

I live in a college town, and temps is how wer can tell where people are
from.  Right now, students from southern states (from Florida straight
across to California) are wearing their winer coats, bought yesterday since
they had none before they arrived here.  Northern students (from Maine west
through Washington, and I include those up into Canada) are wearing T-shirts
instead of tank-tops, and jeans instead of shorts....:P

I'm here on the MA/NH border.  WeatherBug says it's 46?, but I have the back
sliding door open.

Reminds me of when I was away at college.  I grew up in MD, outside of
Baltimore, where everything shuts down for snow.  I went to West Virginia
Univ, in the mountains.  The first time it snowed, my roommate (also from
the same area) and I stayed up all night drinking, certain that classes
would be cancelled the next day.  Nothing!  Not even the morning classes,
and it was about 6 inches of snow!  Now that I live in NE, I've gotten used
to life going on as normal, even with a foot of snow.

That happened to the the first fall I experienced in the United States.
In New Orleans, of all places. After the first cold front blew in, I
rushed downtown to buy a coat! Brrrr!!!!

Victor, who thought about applying to a University in/near Buffalo, NY
until he saw in the catalog a picture of a student, skying to class!!!!

While there is all this heated rhetoric about immigration going on, I
never hear anybody ask any questions about those cold air masses from
Canada.  Who's letting *them* in!!!!!?????????

Utter nonsense.  *Washingtonians* (DC) try to turn on the heat.
