Actually this year is very warm. We're averaging in the 20s these 
days. That's PLUS 20.  People are walking around in shorts and 
T-shirts. Ice fishermen are VERY unhappy.

My favorite is when my eyebrows start freezing. A strange sensation. 
But not this year, it's warm! Where's my excuse to buy the Swedish
