-my nostrils stick together when I inhale rapidly through my nose (quite enjoyable).
-My left eye starts this weird little twitch and I get momentarily scared that my contact is going to pop out.
-I let my mind get boggled by thinking too much about how it could possibly be 110 degrees warmer in LA than it is in Iowa right now
-I get asked questions about driving a car in anarctic-like temperatures that I have no idea how to answer
-my lower thighs (area right above the knee) start freezing to a point that it feels like they're burning
-When I leave my apartment in the morning with my hair still wet, I like reaching back and feeling the frozen curls that stick out under my beanie
-I wake up in the early morning and the first thought that pops into my head is "I don't want to go outside."
-The end of my nose starts tingling and I immediately become paranoid that it's frostbite
-I get the weird desire to stick my tongue to a metal pole...
-I have nothing to do at night other than sit at home and watch "House" because I can't muster the determination to open my front door and feel the instant chill.
-I give in and turn up the thermostat from 68 to 70.
-And finally, I get really rather sad when I think that this will probably be the only insanely cold Iowa winter that I'll get to endure

That's why I hate cold weather, although I love the whole "House" thing. I do similar things. Like listening to "Summer Tale" by Josef Suk and reading blogs!
I just don't think people should live anywhere where there is a hard winter. Aren't there are ton of uninhabited islands in the world? Can't we all just move everything there until certain states have kinder weather? Great post though--I felt it! Brrrrr!
ugh, that sounds like hell. It was bad enough in P-town, I can't imagine how you people survive.
As Rarlos said, these temperatures made me think of the phrase: "Milwaukee is cold as hell...", which would probably be an oxymoron...
feel for you, Danny, i barely restrain tears when i'm frozen - and only to don't have some ice on my face.
thanks for this post, makes me smile ))
Dan, if you ever have the urge to stick your tongue to a pole in subzero temps, DON'T DO IT!!!! I did it when I was nine and had a heck of a time yanking my tongue off the pole (and I was alone so I did have to do it myself!) *lol*
