How cold is it where I am?

-----

The local government has held new pressers to keep people informed as to what services - snow removal, plowing and schools - are being affected.

There has been no school since last Friday and the school superintendent has been at the broadcasts letting parents know there is no school scheduled for the next few days.

One day she asked the kids 'to read anything' while they were at home.

Yesterday, she said something about "mukluks".

As the Mayor came back to the lectern, he looked around and said, "I don't know what 'mukluks' are....."


Back at the TV station, the anchors said, "MUKLUKS?"

They cut back to the Mayor and when his spiel was over, the male anchor said, "I looked up 'mukluks' and all I found was something about a seal skinned Eskimo boot!".

I was laughing my butt off during all of this and yelling at the screen, "MUKLUKS ARE COLD WEATHER BOOTS!!!"

Here I am, a SoCal kid, grew up in 70 degree, year round weather and I knew what 'mukluks' are?

That is how cold it is!!!!!!
