    hahaha... I like this from one of the sites gromozeka had linked to:

    How different people tolerate low temperatures:
    • +10 C: Americans are shaking. Russian cucumbers planted in gardens.
    • +1.6 C: The Italians do not start the car. Russian drive with lowered windows.
    • 0 C: Water freezes in America. In Russia, the water thickens.
    • - 17.9 C: New York landlords turn on the heaters. Russian last of the season go on picnics.
    • - 42 C: In Europe, transport is not functioning. Russian eating ice cream on the street.
    • - 73 C: Finnish special forces evacuate Santa Claus from Lapland. Russian fur cap worn.
    • - 114 C: Ethyl alcohol freezes. In Russian a bad mood.
    • - 273 C: Absolute zero, ostananavlivaetsya atomic motion. Russian curse: "It's cold, blah!"
    I only speak two languages, English and bad English.

    Where I live, there are many different factors for weather.
    "Thunder-Snow" is common. We have had a mild winter this year. Last year was brutal!
    I'm easily amused late at night...
