Curl up with three sled dogs.

(That's the origin of the phrase "three dog night".)

Grow up where it is -60 to -80 and living where it's -40 will seem pretty nice!

Heck we hit 0 F yesterday with sun and light wind. After a week of -50 to -60 F windchill 0 F with sun and no wind was darn near to warm!

33 F today and people around town were in shorts and light jackets!
