I bet a dollar and a donut that they were sitting in the station taking bets on how long you'd last before you left.

Huge turnout for your protest of...................?

...a ban on four pounds of back bacon
Three French toast
Two turtle-necks
And a beer in a tree?


Put some clothes on next time instead of trying to look cool.

I suspect those two pics were taken 5 minutes apart.

Prove that it really was freezing.

Water expands when it freezes. The human body is what, 70% water? So you would think...

You know the reverse could be true ... the weather might have been protesting anyone playing outside!

-11 c is only 12f and it gets down to -30 c which is almost the same as -30f here regularly with winds that will freeze skin in less than a minute..think of 62 degrees f colder than the freezing point of water.....last few years we have had -30 weather for 30 days at a stretch....minnesota is pretty cold too iirc
