For you Michiganders, is it really true?
Cold is Relative......it all depends on where you live! 60 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat People in Michigan plant gardens. 50 above zero: Gulf Coast people shiver uncontrollably. People in Kalamazoo sunbathe. 40 above zero: Italian & English cars won't start. People in Michigan drive with the windows down. 32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in the Grand River gets thicker. 20 above zero: Arizonians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, and wool hats. People in Michigan throw on a flannel shirt. 15 above zero: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Michigan have the last cookout before it gets cold. Zero: People in Tucson all die. Michiganders close the windows. 10 below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Michigan get out their winter coats 25 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Michigan are selling cookies.........door to door. 40 below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in Michigan let the dogs sleep indoors. 100 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Michiganders get upset because they can't start their diesel trucks. 460 (-459.67 F below zero): ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero, zero on the Kelvin scale.) People in Michigan start saying, "Cold 'nuff fer ya?" 500 below zero: Hell freezes over. Michigan public schools will open 2 hours late |

LMAO!!!! Some of it is true  |
| Without fail, on the first 50 degree day, you ALWAYS see someone in a convertible with the top down. Thats kind of like sunbathing. |
This is true of Alaskan too.  Of course in Fairbanks the bikinis come out a 40 degrees, You don't want to wait until the last moment to get that summer tan. |

(I would know since I am from the east coast) But I have never seen deicing sprays in the stores here, so I think we'd all be screwed and stuck at home. |
-5 here the other day SUN out thou and a fellow walking down the streets in shorts.  BUT we got to +15 For Feburay it was great....spring fever here we come. |
| Yep, here in MN, going from -20 to zero is enough to make everybody walk around without their coats, sweating up a storm, especially if it's sunny. If it's cloudy, that means the warm up brought 6 inches of snow, and we're all sweating as we clear our drives and sidewalks. |

If it hits 32 degrees for a minute, everything in my yard freezes and I don't any citrus for another year  |
| ha ha ha! My mom is a native Californian, but had to move to Minnesota for my dad's business for a year or two. She said that as soon as the weather got to around 50, she was out in the backyard in a bikini (and we have pictures to prove it!). |
Ah, 50 is balmy, we like to picnic at the beach and soak up the sun  |
| I lived most of my life in Michigan and it is true...a very hearty bunch. I've lived in Florida for 5 yrs now and pull out the gloves at 60F...lol This is the first winter I have felt the transition to being a true Floridian. lol |
| I have seen that one before - with Minnesota substituted for Michigan, of course!
For example - if you look in my last snow day sledding pictures, it is hovering around the 30 F mark - and I am wearing a sweatshirt!
In MN this is almost a spring day!  |
| Also very true for North Dakotians, as that is where i grew up. I remember going entire winters in nothing more than t-shirts and long sleeves.
When my family first moved to Texas we pulled up to the house and my first statement was, " there's no outlet to plug in the cars!" Needless to say, i haven't lived that one down:> I have offcially acclimated to west texas. I abhore humidity now. 50 degress and i am wearing long pants, jackets and swearshirts! I still miss the snow soooooooooo much though. Ren M |
| i spent the first 19 yrs of my life in michigan and the last 21 yrs here in AZ....most of that was true when i first moved out here.....now i turn the space heater on at 60 degrees.....
face it, ive turned into a wus.... |
