    Oh, the humanity.

    Here, it's cold enough (15F) that some kids are wearing socks with their sandals.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    If you're cold, they're cold. Let them in.

    I moved from San Diego, CA to the Portland, OR area in 2016. At the time, I owned ONE hooded sweatshirt. No rain gear, nothing insulated, the concept of layers was entirely foreign.

    Needless to say, I had to adjust my wardrobe significantly. Nearly 4 years later, I still haven't adjusted to the cold though. If it drops below about 40*F, I'm bundled up like Ralphie's little brother in, "A Christmas Story".

    I don't know how some of you guys do it.

    I grew up in Wis and I struggled with cold my whole life there. In the '60's as a wee lad shivering outside our Chevy waiting for my dad to unlock it I can still remember like yesterday "Oh be quiet, you're shivering like an old woman." LOL He rocked shirtsleeves until it dipped below 40 then it was a light jacket. But since then I love the bitter cold (January in the AK interior, lots of sub zero time in the MW, some teens and 20's in GA) - so long as I have the gear. I must have my gear (as pictured in my avatar in north GA mtns).

    Yep it was 19 degrees at our house that night. Went out for a run Monday and about froze. Not so bad today.

    Just to be clear, they can't be frozen if the temperature didn't hit freezing. When they're just cold shocked like that, they're not dead, but you can ensure that they are with the proper use of a machete.

    Now would be a good time to scoop up a gator or two for any practical jokes you have planned.

    Not that I'd advocate doing anything like that....
    Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.

    Yeah apparently you can warm them up and they're like bugs that way.
