I was on vacation last week to Arizona, and the temps were in the 50’s. No problem though, since the high temps back home in Minnesota were below zero! It’s since warmed up to the single digits, but this is getting old fast!

My brother-in-law sent this item below to me today and it made me laugh, and so I thought I’d share it with y’all. Canucks, please feel free to create a Canadian version-- that would be fun to see:-)



60 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat. People in Minnesota plant gardens.

50 above zero: Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Duluth sunbathe.

40 above zero: Italian & English cars won’t start. People in Minnesota drive with the windows down.

32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in Bemidji gets thicker.

20 above zero: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in Minnesota throw on a flannel shirt.

15 above zero: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold.

Zero: People in Miami all die. Minnesotans close the windows.

10 below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Minnesota get out their winter coats.

25 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Minnesota are selling cookies door to door.

40 below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in Minnesota let the dogs sleep indoors.

100 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Minnesotans get upset because they can’t start the Mini-Van

460 below zero: ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.) People in Minnesota start saying...“Cold ‘nuff fer ya?”

500 below zero: Hell freezes over. Minnesota public schools will open 2 hours late

(...) Vunny stuff - but it was 81 here in Tucson the other day and mid 70s today - so your chart needs some additions I'm afraid :-) (17 years ago, 8-Feb-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
