Now -20 BRRRRRR .... OUCH ..........   For those in need .... or have everything ... check this out .....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   The Brass Monkey Freeze Indicator
Our Brass Monkey Freeze Indicator is more than an attractive desk ornament and paperweight. When exposed overnight to below freezing temperatures, an amazing phenomenon occurs. Part of his anatomy falls off! Modesty forbids naming exactly which part, but you are probably familiar with the expression, "cold enough to freeze the b...s off a brass monkey." After he thaws out, his lost equipment can be reattached and he is ready to perform again.
Made of highly polished, gleaming, solid brass, each freeze indicator stands 6 inches tall and weighs an impressive 5 pounds. $35 plus $10 shipping & handling This comical solid brass ornament would be worth the price just as a humorous conversation piece. But this high-quality executive toy REALLY WORKS! Overnight exposure to temperatures below 23 deg Fahrenheit actually emasculates the brass monkey. For a before-and-after depiction of the effect of cold on the Brass Monkey Freeze Indicator, click here. Each monkey comes packed with the following instructions: DIRECTIONS The Brass Monkey Freeze Indicator (BMFI) comes in two parts. The larger of the two parts (Part A) houses the indicator mechanism, and is shaped in the form of the monkey proper. The smaller part (Part B) is the signaling device that alerts you to the fact that a hard freeze has occurred. Part B is in the form of the monkey's accoutrements. To operate the BMFI follow these simple steps. Seat Part B into the aperture located between the two supporting structures (legs) of Part A. The BMFI is now cocked. Place the BMFI in a cold environment for at least 3 hours. How fast it works depends on how cold it is. If Part B is still attached to Part A, then the environment is probably not dangerously cold. But if Part B is detached from Part A then the environment is below 23 degrees Fahrenheit, which is cold enough to freeze the Bs off a Brass Monkey. Beware of exposing yourself to this environment -- if it can uncock the BMFI think what it might do to you. Allow the BMFI to thaw thoroughly before reseating Part B. Attempting to cock a cold monkey can result in permanent accoutrement damage.

Ummmm......boys take note:   It doesn't say if the permanent accoutrement damage will occur to you or the monkey, so.....do you want to take a chance?  lol   "3.  Allow the BMFI to thaw thoroughly before reseating Part B. Attempting to cock a cold monkey can result in permanent accoutrement damage."

Wacky weather! We had that lovely cold front here at the end of last week. It blew a blizzard in ahead of it. Now we are back to the -10 to -5 range. Much easier to deal with! If it's any consolation, the deep freeze only lasted a few days. Maybe the east will be so lucky!

Maggie. We are still socked in. More snow or freezing rain in the early A.M. Then temperature rises, then freezes again at night. That means more icy driving conditions. I hate it!!!! That's all from Vancouver, Washington....for now....

Very good I like the one about hearing your
breath.
They are callin for -3 today we see about that. It
can be -20 Then the next day -3. I guess I have to go with the up's
 and down's.
My best bet is to see if the dog will go
outside.
