It's only -4 degrees

I woke up this morning and thought "Man, this house is cold." I poured a cup of coffee and dreaded having to go outside to start my car this morning to get to work, and wished the long winter was over. This is probably one of the most common feelings for anyone who lives in this frozen waste/wonder-land called Minnesota in January.

But I was happy and somewhat encouraged to look at the thermometer outside and see that it was only 4 degrees below zero. I thought "Eh, that's not so bad, I must just be extra warm getting out of bed today."

That's when I realized that I was truly a Minnesotan. Four degrees below zero is officially "not that bad" from my perspective. Oh man, I need a vacation...
