How Cold Is It?

It is so cold outside that the flasher in my neighborhood is only describing himself.
Thank you. Please tip your waitstaff.
As most of us are freezing our asses off, I thought I would present you with an annotated thermometer that I ran across on the web the other day. Now you have another way to tell people how cold it is besides "It is really fucking cold."


60 - Californians put on sweaters (if they can find one in their wardrobe)
50 - Miami residents turn on the heat
40 - You can see your breath, Californians shiver uncontrollably, Minnesotans go swimming, Canadians work on their tan
35 - Italian cars don't start, Britney Spears kills a man with her nipples
32 - Water freezes
30 - You plan your vacation to Australia, Minnesotans put on t-shirts, politicians begin to worry about the homeless, British cars don't start
25 - Boston water freezes, Californians weep pitiably, Minnesotans eat ice cream, Canadians go swimming
20 - You can hear your breath, politicians begin to talk about the homeless, New York City water freezes, Miami residents plan vacation further south
15 - French cars don't start, you plan a vacation in Mexico, cat insists on sleeping in your bed with you, and teenagers still insist on not wearing a coat
10 - Too cold to ski, you need jumper cables to get the car going
5 - You plan your vacation in Houston, American cars don't start
0 - Alaskans put on t-shirts, too cold to skate, your balls detach and head to South America
-10 - German cars don't start, eyes freeze shut when you blink
-15 - You can cut your breath and use it to build an igloo, Arkansans stick tongue on metal objects, Miami residents cease to exist
-20 - Cat insists on sleeping in your pajamas with you, politicians actually do something about the homeless, Minnesotans shovel snow off roof, Japanese cars don't start
-25 - Too cold to think, you need jumper cables to get the driver going
-30 - You plan a two-week hot bath, the Mighty Monongahela freezes, Swedish cars don't start
-40 - Californians disappear, Minnesotans button top button, Canadians put on sweaters, your car helps you plan your trip south
-50 - Congressional hot air freezes, Alaskans close the bathroom window
-80 - Hell freezes over, polar bears move south

  1. At what temperature does the now single and searching for Angel-Jessica Simpson's nipples do harm?

  4. Thing is, people in Miami really do put on the heat when it gets 50 degrees. I remember listening to a Miami Hurricane baseball game online earlier this year and hearing the announcers bitch about how cold it was. Finally, I opened a browser window to see how cold it really was- the temp was around 65.

  12. We have snow on the ground and I'm trying to determine if I can stand a frozen Frappuccino at Starbucks. I'm thinking I could use some guidelines. Maybe if I'm wearing fur?

  14. Angel -- I don't think they could ever do harm.

    Platkat -- I wish it was 45 here. You should be sunbathing.

    Jamwall -- You definitely know about the cold Mr. Minnesota.

    CH -- Those pussies.

    LB -- You have to keep Tyson and Jinx nice and warm. And I spoke with Mrs. Shife about a weekend trip to Preston so keep your fingers crossed.

    NM -- Sorry, I only do the F.

    Max -- That's cold.

    FO3 -- That is cold as well. You don't want that chicken to get the bird flu.

    Armaedes -- That would be very cool.

    Damasta -- So how cold is it down there?

    Vince -- It was 12 mother fucking degrees.

    SSG -- I think I have heard weathermen use that expression on newscasts.

    Scarlett -- We all need our guidelines.

    ST -- I would love 60 degree weather right now. I could break out my thong.

  15. What the hell would they do in Miami at -15? And you know about the Mighty Mon too!

  16. 35 in Boston right now. Quite pleasant, actually.

    What?! It's above freezing!

    I think people who complain about the cold when it's above freezing are wimps. Then again, I'm MISERABLE in the summer, so that's when I do my complaining.

  21. I was in California a few weeks ago and I was in a tee-shirt and shorts while the locals where searching for winter jackets... crazy californians.

  22. Man, cold does not even begin to describe this. As a South Carolinian, being sent to Cleveland for 2 wks was not something I was looking forward to. Snow, Ice, single wind chill... Eh eh, too much for my blood.
