Fran Tarkenton, fomer Minnesota NFL quarterback and hall-of-famer, describes Minnesota as the "Land of 9 months of Winter and 3 months of bad sledding". Here is how Minnesotans think about "cold": 60 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat. People in Minnesota plant gardens. 50 above zero: Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Minnesota sunbathe. 40 above zero: Italian & English cars won't start. People in Minnesota drive with the windows down. 32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in Minnesota lakes get thicker. 20 above zero: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in Minnesota throw on a flannel shirt. 15 above zero: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold. Zero: People in Miami all die. Minnesotans close the windows. 10 below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico . People in Minnesota get out their winter coats. 25 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Minnesota are selling cookies door to door. 40 below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in Minnesota let the dogs sleep indoors. 100 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Minnesotans get upset because they can't start the Mini-Van. 460 (-459.67 F below zero): ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero, zero on the Kelvin scale.) People in Minnesota start saying..."Cold 'nuff fer ya?" and last not but not least..... 500 below zero: Hell freezes over. Minnesota public schools will open 2 hours late.
