    Here in Redneckville (or Bet-HELL) as we like to call it), NC anything under 10 F is extremely uncommon, and when it snows we sit around waiting for Jesus to fall out of the sky because it has got to be the beginning of the Apocalypse.

    You want cold? Try Northern Portugal in January. About
    32F with 99% humidity, STONE houses and NO HEAT AT ALL! I
    swear that was the coldest I ever got. Including cold
    weather manuevers in Alaska where we had to tow the tanks
    because the officers were afraid that the oil had frozen
    and the engines would crack.

    Lord have mercy, it was worse than North Dakota.

    Nothing between N. Dakota and Moscow but a bunch of Molson
    drinking Canadians and some reindeer. And the reindeer
    fart.

    People in North Dakota go to Minneapolis for the winter.

    They have about 5 days of -40F every year. 15 if you count
    the wind chill factor.

    N. Dakota has about 20....without windchill factor. I
    remember one year (I think it was '85) when the temperature
    couldn't be measured because the mercury froze.

    Northern New Jersey is so cold right now. Tony Soprano and his buddies have nowhere to dump their enemies because all the lakes, rivers and ponds will be frozen soon.

    South Dakota is a warm -3C today. Yes, I said warm. This is warm for this time of year. We got a couple of inches of snow last night, and are expecting a little more today. But, in the summers it can get up to 38C. Usually is for about a week, then it stays around 27C for the rest of the summer.

    Normal is boring...

    I had to look up a map of the UK to find out what you guys are talking about...manchester, etc. meant nothing to me. See what a valuable learning experience this chit-chatting can be!

    Rochester, NY. About 6 hours drive north of NYC... for
    all you folk who think the only thing in NY is NYC.

    It can get frightfully cold up here, but not as bad as
    in Michigan or the Dakotas. We usually range from about
    -20F (w/ wind chill) to about 95/100F.

    Though I was watching this thing on CNN where they
    rated the city with the most snowfall in the US, and
    they said Rochester. *ahem*bullshit*ahem* Sure, we get
    a lot of snow... more than most, but just drive an hour
    to Buffalo, and you will usually see a lot more snow
    since they get the lake effect snows from 2 great lakes,
    and not just 1 (like we do). Buffalo got over 3 feet
    of snow in 2 days last week. We got a dusting.

    I think the South Dakota winters are just so bad because of the fact that between Rapid City and Sioux Falls, there's nothing but flat land. Granted there's a couple towns, but none are of any great size. Sioux Falls is the largest in the state, and the last census stated that is was just shy of 101,000. That's probably a small town to most of you. I don't live in Sioux Falls though. I live in a town with the population of 2500.

    Um...you're right...but they probibly are poor when they pour in.

    Phew! What a comeback!!

    In fact, I think that's probibly it... if you're Liverpudlian, on the doal (no job, poor) and live on a council estate...then you're a scally....and as if by magic, you start acting like one too!
