A hard freeze is a lot better than a soft freeze. Chicks giggle at and mock a soft freeze.

 The carnage done my neighbors and other peoples tropical plants and trees in our non tropical living zone has been legendary.   I plan on setting up a roadside plant stand and sell discount tropicals at a highly inflated price to the rubes..

Apparently the kumquat crop was hit hard.

It is bad.  It was so cold all the ladies got their "Animals" out of the closet.  I haven't seen so many former furry woodland creatures paraded around on peoples backs since a pack of stoned skwerls attacked Mrs Jones and The Lady's auxiliary garden club members planting hemp 20 years ago.  There were white ones, brown ones, silver ones, multi colored ones, big ones, crazy ones and ones with the heads and their bushy little tails still attached. For days the damn hood smelled like cheep gin and mothballs.

Yeah, we broke past 30 above in a nice January heat wave. I was out in my shirtsleeves today enjoying it.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You know it's been cold when your out in -3 temps and thinking 'this really doesn't feel that bad.'

My gauge for real cold is when that first breath freezes in the nostril hair...and the snow underfoot makes squeeching sounds when you walk on it, like walking on styrofoam packing. You get acclimated to mere single digit above temps, unless the wind is blowing...
