I grew up in North Dakota. it got so cold there that Superman froze his S off. I got cold in places I didn't even know I had. it gets so cold you don't need a cup for coffee -- you just carry around a chunk of it. it's not uncommon to see sun dogs out on the plains in midwinter; Mandan legend has it that the sun lights little fires on each side of itself to stay warm. it's so cold that the snow doesn't melt until August, giving about two weeks before the snow starts to fly again.
and, finally, it's so cold in the winter that the funeral homes stockpile bodies and wait until the earth thaws to dig the graves. other places welcome spring by dancing around a Maypole; in North Dakota they have lots of burials.

Then there is Wyoming, USA, where it is so cold the snow never melts, it just blows around until it wears out!

cold as a wet pecker in a sleet stormHey, Consuelo, you're a woman, right? So what do you REALLY know about frozen peckers?  I've seen it so cold the sun had in icicle halo around it. (ice in the atmosphere giving a really strange look to the sun) Anybody remember the actual name for this phenomenon?

I've seen it so cold the sun had in icicle halo around it... Anybody remember the actual name for this phenomenonThose are sundogs. I grew up spending much time on a sailboat, and my dad always said "A dog in the morning, sailor take warning; a dog in the night is a sailor's delight." High haze condenses and forms ice crystals, which are refracted forming a halo around the sun. EDIT Hmm, I just looked it up and one source says the halos are actually called "parihelic circles" and the sundogs are smaller "dots" which occur just outside of the ring.

OH MY GAWD!!!! Consuelo, welcome to the gutter. I'll just move over on the couch and let you plop on down beside me. Sit, we'll talk  What was that expression again, hmm, oh ya...
A good man may be hard to find but a hard man is good to find.

Alicia Keys, coincidentally on the CD right now:
and a real man knows a real woman, when he sees her,
and a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her,
and a real woman knows a real man always comes first,
and a real man just can't deny a real woman's worth ... a woman's worth

Geoff, Consuelo was (ahem) responding to your post about frozen peckers. So stiffness should not be a problem.
Said the young and alert Widow Brice,
Who kept her late husband on ice,
"It's been hard since I lost him.
I'll never defrost him!"
Cold comfort, but cheap at the price.
