    "above" 0? or "above" freezin? (or just "above" ground, haha, stay warm up there folks! : )

    Above 0. Usually oct thru march is below freezing for the most part. One can make a large pee sculpture in that time, but that's another topic. So our scrapping community has about a 150 F spread currently.

    I spent a winter in South Dakota, near the North Dakota line, walking to work in 25-35 below, coming home in near sweltering 0 f, and about decided right there I was never gonna gripe about the summer heat again, and so far I've kept that promise, even though I've been through some awfully hot times since.

    You're welcome to come here but make sure to pack you fur-lined coat and gloves.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
