Cold Enough?

This morning we woke up to 35 below zero temperature!  That's pretty cold!  And that's the air temperature, not the wind chill.   My outdoor cats were fine, as they have plenty of winter fur and a good layer of fat on them, and a big  insulated box to sleep in.  My car started up OK, as we prepared to go to church, but we had it plugged in.   Some folks may not know what "plugging in " a car is.   Up here in the north country, cars and trucks have a special heater by the engine that a person can plug in for the night to warm up the engine area.   It is something you must have installed by a mechanic.   Sure helps a lot, though!    This morning the topic of conversation around here was all about the cold weather, of course, and lots of Minnesotans were saying :  "Cold enough for ya?"  That's the typical Minnesota talk, don't ya know..............
     We actually love the cold weather.  Nobody should ever feel sorry for us Minnesotans - we live here by choice, "for the quality of life" !  Ha!
