Holy shit that's cold. *shivers* We get that temperature 2-3 times a year here and it's usually around the end of January, early February. That when we do as little as we can with electricity so that the Hydro (electric company here) can put up with the demand... a few days without laundry,  using the stove or the dishwasher.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>They closely monitored us, and it wasn't like that EVERY day, and we were adequately clothed. When it starts snowing pretty good in October and doesn't go away until May, my parents just couldn't suffer 3 kids being stuck in the house day after day after day... Of course, I used to walk to school in that stuff, too (I know, uphill, both ways!). And we didn't get 'snow days' then. It was interesting hearing about the one or two kids every winter who would lose parts of their tongues sticking them to the metal swing-set bars or something... I burnt my tongue pretty good on my coat zipper once... that's all it took to teach me a lesson. LOL<br/><br/>-ark
