Mornin' TT friends!  I know it's not even approaching winter yet, but I saw this and had to share, especially for my Canadian pals!  Enjoy!

50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 C): Californians shiver uncontrollably. Canadians plant gardens.

35 Fahrenheit (1.6 C): Italian cars won't start. Canadians drive with the windows down.

32 Fahrenheit (0 C): American water freezes. Canadian water gets thicker.

0 Fahrenheit (-17.9 C): New York City landlords finally turn on the heat. Canadians have the last cookout of the season.

-60 Fahrenheit (-51 C): Mt. Saint Helens freezes. Canadian Girl Guides sell cookies door-to-door.

-100 Fahrenheit (-73 C): Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Canadians pull down their ear flaps.

-173 Fahrenheit (-114 C) Ethyl alcohol Freezes. Canadians get frustrated when they can't thaw the keg.

-460 Fahrenheit (-273 C) Absolute zero; all atomic motion stops. Canadians start saying "cold, eh?"

-500 Fahrenheit (-295 C): Hell freezes over. The Leafs win the Stanley Cup.

Oh so true. My husband (Canadian) joined the Marines many many many years ago along with a couple of buddies. During basic training they would happily go out in their t-shirts in the morning enjoying the brisk temps while the natives would be bundled up in hooded jackets! Some of their American buddies actually thought Canada sat on a glacier and you had to step up on it at the border!

That's just what I was going to say Brenda - it is hilarious, and the funniest part is how some of it is almost true!!!
When we lived up in Yellowknife, NWT, when the temperature got up to -20 F towards spring we would all be walking around with our parkas unzipped, enjoying the heat wave!

All sounds true to me too......even for us in Northern NY State, we are more like Canadians!
