5. You're a bit south of me in this safe blue (not talking cold) state

Not much wind which is good thing. You remember January 1982? They still haven't settled on the official consensus of -60 windchill - regardless, it was d*mn cold. That day is what I use to admit it is cold outside. It might be cool, brisk, or invigorating otherwise but in my mind, it isn't cold unless windchill (or heaven forbid temperature) is -60 or below. I worked 3rd shift. I remember the seat in my car did not give when I got in. The V-8 did start, a bit begrudgingly, but it started. Helped I had a pretty full gas tank. Couldn't plug in the block heater at work.
