Ask me how I know....<br/><br/>Seriously, though, it was that same week because I remember thinking, "I'd so much rather be in MN right now than here in LA for my brother's M.Arch. thesis defense and party..." I am NOT a fan of the ground shaking. LeAnn, it was the same week as the Northridge earthquake (January 1994). Ask me how I know….

Never really lived in any one place long enough to feel "from" there. But I've spent the majority of my adult life in the Chicago and Milwaukee areas. It's not as cold there because they have that nice big lake. *daydreams about nice big lakes* I’m from all over. Never really lived in any one place long enough to feel “from” there.

I don't think I know.<br/><br/>And, yep, cold out today, but I remember when I was in high school (either winter of '95 or '96, don't quite remember) there was a day so cold that the governor closed all the schools in MN. It was 40 below with a 65 or 70 below windchill...well, at least where I was in the state (west central MN). My sister lived in Ely at that time, which is basically like having one foot in Canada, and on that day for her it was 65 below with a 100 below windchill. Doesn't even seem possible, huh?

A little bit clinked to the ground, and a little bit more was still liquid when it hit the ground. I should have done this a few hours ago when it was still colder outside.
