"Baby It's Cold Outside"

One for my friends up in the hinterland, who have been slogging through an epic cold snap this week with temperatures ranging from a balmy -25 to bottoming out in the "outlying areas" with -50's. Here in Maine the weatherman on the radio made a funny flummox in the forecast by mixing up sleet with freezing rain: "sleezing rain." Currently we're in the single digits, and the one factor usually absent from Interior conditions is wind chill - cuts right through the insulating layers of blubber, effectively putting a damper on any manly sourdough pooh-pooh of what a real winter's like.
