Sometimes words freeze like icicles on the brain and break off into tiny pieces to simply disappear  (graphic by NOAA - 1/28/12) [This message has been edited by Alison (01-30-2012 01:20 AM).] |

wow ... a minus 59 ... rather impressive (although I found the environs near the S. pole to be even colder frequently) perhaps thoughts and emotions can 'deep-freeze' as well?! ... would that 'Time' would do so also! |

Bruce, you are right. However, in December and January (2012) the temperatures have been lower in interior and northern Alaska. It's all a crap shoot. A |

And we have the nerve to whine about a little rain here. My thoughts froze just reading this. Ida |

The good thing, Ida, is Alaskans have so much hot air that we tend to keep ourselves pretty warm. xoxoo A |

The poem and picture is simply cool and I truly don't mind the cold as long as I don't wake up freezing. Sending you sunny smiles to warm you days. |

Ack, I responded to each of you personally and I lost it. I knew I should have saved after each response. Dark one, a speedo? Really? Ack, I carved my eyes with an icicle. Honestly? A speedo. Ick. Ewww. Margherita, your friendship and beauty warm me - and it is above 0 now. See how you do that to me. xoxoxo Kit, I don't see it as complaining - we are simply weather obsessed!  Michael, like a night out on the town drinking slupries?  suthern, I think that there is a law about us getting together. Something about too much fun and rowdy antics. Something like that. xoxoxoxo JL ... you are a joy to me.  BobK, thank you for so much, but especially sending friendship my way. It helps thaw the soul. Lori, you often make me smile .. kinda like this  Scarey, huh.jimmy, there is beauty in this frozen world. It just needs the warmth of the south to thaw it out from time to time. xoxoxox yann, love that you loved the map too. I did. Thank you, my friend from afar. Ken, you warmed with your response. Loved it. Thank you all from a thawing out friend in the north. |
