BRRRRR!!!! Yes, but it could be worse

While the weather lately has some of us feeling like Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant, we thought it would be interesting to put all this frozen tundra talk into perspective. While many in South St. Petersburg are shivering their timbers (and other limbs) and trying to warm up numb thumbs and frosty fingers, it's easy to forget that people in other parts of the country have it much, much worse. Those of us who once lived in the ice-laden northland may vaguely remember but after a few winters down here blood thins and we become silly ninnies complaining about 45 degrees. If you really want to see how things are take a look at the map. Click on it if you need to make it bigger to see it better. Some places the snow goes white on the mountain tonight but for those of us who feel inclined to channel Elsa in Frozen maybe we should just order another cup steaming coffee or hot chocolate and let it go.
