I feel guilty 'cause it's been so mild hereabouts...we're usually in the deep freeze by January.

I told my family that, to ensure that the temperature would not go below freezing, I should buy some ice fishing gear...these days whenever I conspire to go fishing, something keeps me from going. Also thought that I'd keep it from snowing by buying a set of snowshoes.

Sounds like you all should fill your pockets with rocks before venturing outside...

Best
