Got this today. It makes it easy to understand why Canadian Farmall owners have it all figured out at getting Farmalls up and running on cold days.

Temperature Conversion Chart

50�F (10�C)- New Yorkers turn on the heat. Canadians plant gardens.

40�F (4�C)- Californians shiver uncontrollably. Canadians sunbathe.

35�F (2�C)- Italian cars won't start. Canadians drive with the windows down.

32�F (0�C)- Distilled water freezes. Canadian water gets thicker.

20�F (-7�C)- Floridians wear coats, gloves & wool hats. Canadians throw on a T-shirt.

15�F (-9�C)- Californians begin to evacuate the state. Canadians go swimming.

0�F (-18�C)- New York landlords finally turn up the heat. Canadians have the last cookout before it gets cold.

-10�F (-23�C)- People in Miami cease to exist. Canadians lick flagpoles.

-20�F (-29�C)- Californians fly away to Mexico. Canadians throw on a lightweight jacket.

-40�F (-40�C)- Hollywood disintegrates. Canadians rent videos.

-60�F (-51�C)- Mt. St. Helen's freezes. Canadian Girl Scouts begin selling cookies door to door.

-80�F (-62�C)- Polar bears begin to evacuate the Arctic. Canadian Boy Scouts postpone "Winter Survival" classes until it gets cold enough.

-100�F (-73�C)- Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Canadians pull down their earflaps.

-173�F (-114�C)- Ethyl alcohol freezes. Canadians get frustrated when they can't thaw their kegs.

-297�F (-183�C)- Microbial life survives on dairy products. Canadian cows complain of farmers with cold hands.

Bill: Now you are picking on us, at least a bit. While I agree with some of it, most of us do draw the line at -40. As we get older we even become less tolerant maybe even -18C or 0F.

However I must confess to wearing the T shirt at 20F. Just about drives the Mexicans down at the farm off the deep end. Big sweaters on and they start to shiver when they see me. They have even offered to loan me a coat.

When I lived up in the northern part of North Dakota, I used to see these young studs running around in T-shirts at 10 below zero.

It was about this time, as I recall, that I told myself, "I gotta get outta here, 'cause dis place just 'taint healthy for good mental stability". :>)

When I was in college in Fargo, ND, I lived a couple houses down from a feller from Alabama, one of the football linemen, big feller. One day when it was nice and sunny and -15F, me and my neighbor (from Fairbanks, AK) were standin" around outside drinkin" beer, when along comes Bob, the football player, all wrapped up in probly every piece of winter gear he owned. He stops long enough to tell us we gotta be nuts standin" outside drinkin" beer in that weather. I swirled the beer around in the bottle, causing a coating of beer ice to form on the inside of the clear bottle and said, "Heck, this way yer beer stays nice and cold, Ya want one?" He declined.

That is a great picture. As a kid in the late 60's when I was around 8 and we moved to my dads first farm, without hydro, running water, you get the idea, that pic could almost have been me sitting there. Sure brings back the memories. On the bright side did think it helped me to be able to drive the tractor spreading manure at 30 below and not mind it too much. Aww the goodtimes in Ontario.

You wish!
I just came back from the Rural Revolution demonstration at Queens Park and he never showed his face or behind, so maybe it IS him.

He's too much of a COWARD to show his face to the farmers.

Thanks for the chuckle. Makes northern Illinois seem downright tropical.

I think you're optimistic about the Leafs.
