(Someone sent me this today. I've seen it elsewhere but I don't think on A2K -jjorge)

*************************************************************

Here's a New Englander's Temperature Conversion Chart that relates temperatures in Fahrenheit to various human behaviors:

60 and above:
New Yorkers try to turn on the heat. People in New England plant gardens.

50-59:
Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in New England sunbathe.

40-49: Italian & English cars won't start. People in New England drive with the windows down.

32-39: Distilled water freezes. Moosehead Lake's water gets thicker.

20-31: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in New England throw on a flannel shirt.

15-19: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in New England have the last cookout before it gets cold.

0-minus 9 degrees: People in Miami all die. New Englanders close the windows.

10-19 below: Californians fly away to Mexico. People in New England get out their winter coats.

20-29 below: Hollywood disintegrates. New England Girl Scouts start selling cookies door to door.

30-39 below: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in New England let the dogs sleep indoors...but go to the Patriot games outside

40-49 below: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. New Englanders get frustrated because they can't start their "kahs".

50-59 below: ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale). People in New England again start saying..."Cold 'nuff for ya?"

60 below and colder: Hell freezes over. Red Sox win the World Series

Hi Jes!

We got 10-12 inches here in Warwick. I've got my place shoveled out. Tomorrow I have to go Avon and do some shoveling at my Mom's house. She tells me they had 18 inches there. I hope she's exaggerating (which she's prone to do)

The snow is beautiful though. Usually it loses its charm for me by February but this year I'm still loving it and here it is Feb. 8th.
Go figure.

Well, I hope Mama jjorge was exaggerrating!

My brother, in Maryland, got about 7 inches of snow, so we compared shovelling techniques on the phone today.

Mother always exaggerates.

The snow was about 8-10 inches deep in Avon.

More coming Monday night...
