RE: [at-l] How cold will it be...

Since we have at least one lister in North Dakota, I am sure he will back me
up on this. I went skiing (the water kind) in July in North Dakota. The
water temperature was 45 degrees and the air was 90...eeep!

Kind of hard on a southern boy like me! I have a whole new view of the
visitors we get from up north now. I used to think they were crazy for
swimming here in the winter, now I think they are crazy for swimming there
in the summer!

I haven't seen snow in almost 9 years. New Hampshire: six days and
counting....
