Ok, anybody who watched the Weather Channel knows, by now, that it is frigidly cold in the South. Temps at our home in Marietta, GA are in the 20's, expected to stay below freezing tomorrow and plunging to the low teens and possible single digits tomorrow night.
I know that is not very impressive if you're in the North, or in the mountains. I've experienced minus 20 in the mountains of West Virginia and minus 40 in Gunnison, Colorado; and was an avid snow skier when I lived closer to a ski resort. But, I live in the Atlanta metro area for over 20 years now and my blood has thinned drastically!
I sometimes ask, "How do those folks do it?" Skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, even just plan working and living in those conditions. I more often ask, "Why?"
Perhaps they just don't know any better...
Here in the South we relish in the fact that, even when it gets cold, as it sometimes does, it rarely stays cold for long. Snow on the ground for months on end? I don't think so!
