I just got this email from my sister, and while it admitedly exaggerates a bit
, it has a bit of truth to it. My DH has yet to put on a "winter coat" this winter (except for the day they played a round of golf on lake Bemidji), and goes out in his t-shirt to start the car. Otherwise he wears a hooded sweatshirt.
Another thing is, that the schools have been "open as usual" around here, other than Monday morning when it was -26 (without the windchill factor), the schools here in town were delayed 2 hours.
People really do walk around in shorts and t-shirts as soon as the thermometer hits 50 degrees...in the Spring, however, as soon as it drops to 50 degrees in the Fall...some take out their winter jackets!
