It's so cold my can of beer is stuck to my tongue ....

It's so cold my double double is an ice cap..

It's so cold I brought my beer in from the garage (Rharv said that I think)

It's so the tree's sap is snappin' (If you ever lived north of Superior (I did for 12 years) this happens and about scares the crap out of you for the first few months)

It's so cold I had to leave the car running overnight...(another Northern Ontario thing, we kept the trucks running from November to March...never shut them off........)

It's so cold the ice on the two holer seat is stuck to my ........(happened to me...)

It's so cold we are heating the heating oil... (I had an electric blanket around the kero tank (100 gals) on the side of the house in Cochrane...)

It's so cold my hand-warmer froze shut. (An old handwarmer from the 60's had a charcoal stick inside a metal box like a cigarette box, that had a velour covering, you lit the stick and it burned for 2 hours, if you put in 2 for 4 to 5 hours...very handy when it's -60F)

It's so cold I shot a yellow icicle at a tree...(true story it was -67F that day just south of James Bay)

Thanks for the memories Ed.
I have a heating blanket thing on my side of the bed, I freeze all the time now, and it's not even really cold here.....though we did get 4 feet of snow this week, 6 feet just a few miles north....

I feel like I'm Sam McGee re-incarnated, cremate me, maybe that will warm me up.....

I sure as heck banged the sides out life on the way down the tube.......wish I was at our cabin again, but it's no place for old men....
