It's 50 degrees here in Alabama and will be 70 by early next week where it shall stay until it gets hotter than that. The only thing I don't miss about being back home in Tonawanda is being COLD. Lets move the BUffalo area south.

4.7 here in Illinois... Was -8.0 when I came into work at 0800... ACTUAL TEMPS!

 

Now for useless info:

 

"Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey."

 

Brass monkeys were brass rings on the deck of warships to prevent the cannon balls from sliding around... The rings were made out of brass so as no to cause a spark when the steel cannon balls would come into contact with the ring (or each other) or "brass monkey"... And ignite the powder accidently... Since the metals of the cannon balls and monkey where dissimilar... Cold temps would cause the brass monkey to contract... Hence:

 

Freezing the balls off a brass monkey...
