It has come to my attention, through the efforts of a group of myriad meteorologists who have been working around the clock on my behalf, that November and December were the coldest ever recorded in North America since record keeping began.

Unbeknowst to them, a group of archeologists have contacted me with some surprising news. An ancient meteorological record -- yes, including temperatures -- has been discovered in a heretofore undiscovered cavern beneath the cornfields of central Iowa.

These archeologists have informed me that not only is this not the coldest November and December, but the coming January will not be the coldest ever recorded. This distinction belongs to a January of approximately 627 years ago! The clairvoyants of that time indicated that the January was so cold, so frigid, so devastating in meteorological impact, that the ice didn't melt clear through till June.

Needless to say, January already is cold in the northern regions -- and even in the southern regions -- as recent below-freezing temperatures in Florida attest.

The clairvoyant records discovered in the caverns of Iowa postulated that a very cold January is indicated by spontaneous occurrences of inexplicable behavior carried out in part by anonymous people claiming to be others. This strange behavior, known for centuries, is often a precurser of other strange phenomena, namely extreme meteorological occurrences of all kinds.

Let's hope that any instances of imposters or reactionaries does not indicate a January of the same proportions as the records of the ancients have described.

Keep an eye on the mercury in your thermometer, and plan accordingly.

Thank you for your time.

Thank goodness we don't have to worry about you being an "imposter" Ocean. As I understand it, according to another thread, you are just a "poster".

Well Ocean I'd say that pic is bound to melt lots of ice and bring on an early spring. That's exactly how you looked in my fantasy. Love Meg

Finally, a thread where I can complain about winter!!! I live in Ottawa, Canada, and I'm tellin ya, I've never shovelled so much DAMN snow in my life!!!! And winter has only just begun. It has been horribly cold here (minus 10-20 degrees celcius) regularly, and it seems to snow every day. Why oh why do I choose to live here??? Big sigh...... okay ...... feel better now. Thanks for letting me rant. :)
