Cold is a Relative Thing

Picture above...a trip down memory lane. This was a year ago. My son, the true Wisconsonite, helping his dad blow snow. R doesn't get cold, and the following really rings true, especially for him! I don't know who wrote this, but I find it to be too true to be too funny. I'm just hoping we might be through with the snow for the winter...although I am sure that we are not!
