You Know It's (Really, Really) Cold Out When ...
Fill in the blank with your clever, witty, or just really accurate descriptions.
It's winter in New England. And winter in New England is cold. We know this.
But right now, we're at the beginning of an extra cold stretch. With a wind chill advisory in effect from 10 tonight to 10 a.m. Wednesday, we figured you could help warm your fingers by typing an ending to the beginning of this sentence: "You know it's cold out when..."
Readers got us started earlier this month on another cold day. What can you contribute?

I'll start: I know it's cold out when my dogs won't even stay outside to finish their business!

When you go outside with your warmest jacket and you still say, "Woah, it's cold outside. I think I'll go back inside."

I love this one Heather, as a former glasses wearer myself I can safely say contacts do not fog up. However it would be REALLY cold outside if they did.

When you hope it warms up a little so you can go ice fishing.

Or, you don't go ice fishing at all. Or ice skating. Or anything involving ice. Because it's really, really cold outside.

I'm with Marin - if teenagers have coats on - it must be bitterly cold. AND, that little seal has the saddest face, I think he needs hot cocoa!!
