You know it's a cold day when...

10. You can go entire day in TN wearing a wool sweater without getting hot flashes.

9. Someone stands in the doorway of the restaurant too long and receives a hostile chorus of "SHUT THE DOOR--IT'S COLD!!"

8. You break out the long johns and have to wash the two pairs you own over and over because "it usually doesn't get that cold here."

7. The icy patch in the driveway doesn't go away for days.

6. You fear your dogs face might get stuck to the icy patch if he lingers there too long.

5. You give up shaving, since stepping out into the goose-bump inducing sub-freezing temperatures renders the shave-job useless. (this ones for Heather, since I didn't believe her for like 7 years, when she said this actually happens).

4. Flannel sheets, a wool blanket, and a down comforter all layered on the bed don't seem like an overkill.

3. You suddenly can empathize with the poor soul in your office who is always cold, even when its 75 in the office.

2. You start to imagine how cool it would be to have an ice skating rink in your front yard.

And finally... You know it is really cold when...

1. Your Canadian husband finally agrees, "Yes, this is really cold."
