This post is for all my lovely southern friends. I'm sending you smiles from the frigid north and wondering which one of you all I should visit first! Texas? Florida? California?

The reality is that I'm really trying to stay away from whining right now. I've been doin' all right this winter, but the windchill just about blew me over today. I wore three layers of shirts and snowpants to my open house. It took twenty minutes for my car to really warm up and then it was time to turn it off. It just isn't right for a Minnesotan to wear handwarmers and feetwarmers in their mittens and boots while running errands....

Sad reality is that this isn't the coldest we get. Makes 50 or 60 sounds okay doesn't it?

But, still I stick it out in the Minnesota I love because the seasons will soon change and there is nothing like watching the trees bloom in the spring and realizing one day that the robins have indeed returned for one more season. Between the love of seasons and the love of family... life will remain.

Hats of to all of my friends! The brave in the north and those in the south....

YOWZERS, Lindsey! That's awful. Come visit Texas. Mercy! You could probably wear shorts here while I bundle up in the mittens, etc. I promise to TRY to quit complaining that its cold! :-/

Gary - There is Ice in Minnesota right now.... that lasts all the way up until 30 or so degrees. It's the windchill that gets to me. :)

Joni - I knew that you'd see my post. I smiled the whole time I wrote it because I knew that you'd react! It's only temporary, but can be a huge cause for the blues around here.

LIndsey, noticed your comment on Joni's post and came to check this out.  I'm complaining about New York's tempertures of 30's.  I'm having a hard time with that; I could never survive your winter.  It makes ours look like a heat wave.

Liz - Is it that warm in New York? That's pretty cool! January is the worst... gets better from here.

If you're driving, Texas is closest and easiest to find.  Just throw the snow blower in the back of the pickup and head south on I35.  When you stop and somebody asks what's that funny looking thing in the backof the truck, you'll probably be in Texas.  If it's still cold, keep going.

Wherever you go, stand proud as you represent the state with the only NFL team in history to win every game played on a Tuesday night.

Lindsey; Hang in there it's almost over:) If you realy want to impress our southern brothers and sisters, tell them what it's like to show a vacant bank owned home, around sunset, on a day like Saturday. (hint-it's colder inside the house?)

Mike - I love the snow blower in the backseat idea. :) That's awesome!

Steve - What a great post idea. :) I might have to try that next. And, despite the frigid temps... I had a whompin' open house today!
