Although it's obsolete now I've always liked the New England version:

Quote:
60° F:
Southern Californians shiver uncontrollably.
People in New England sunbathe.


50° F:
New Yorkers try to turn on the heat.
People in New England plant gardens.


40° F:
Italian & English cars won't start.
People in New England drive with the windows down.


32° F:
Distilled water freezes.
Maine's Moose head Lake's water gets thicker.


20° F:
Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats.
People in New England throw on a flannel shirt.


15° F:
New York landlords finally turn up the heat.
People in New England have the last cookout before it gets cold.


0° F:
All the people in Miami die.
New Englanders close the windows.


10° F below zero:
Californians fly away to Mexico.
The Girl Scouts in New England are selling cookies door to door.


25° F below zero:
Hollywood disintegrates.
People in New England get out their winter coats.


40° F below zero:
Washington DC runs out of hot air.
People in New England let the dogs sleep indoors.


100° F below zero:
Santa Claus abandons the North Pole.
New Englanders get frustrated because they can't start their "kahs."


460° F below zero:
All atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale).
People in New England start saying, "cold 'nuff for ya?"!

500° F below zero:
Hell freezes over.
The Red Sox win the World Series!

It must be colder I though, the Red Sox have won two world series. Does this mean
that it's -1000 F. Or maybe you mean the Cubs.

Comin' from Detroit, I used to laugh as the only time mom would drive with the top up on the convertible was if it was raining or snowing. Nothing better than that humid biting cold around the Great Lakes. It would go through 4 pairs of corderoy trousers and leave you numb in a few minutes, so we never stopped moving as kids.

T driver said that to me once. I would have hit him had I been able to move my arms.

I guess you can spot someone's first New England winter at about 20 paces :p
