It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
Charles Dickens

Let me be the first to tell you, drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up.
Morgan Freeman

How can you expect a man who's warm to understand one who's cold?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Man dies of cold, not of darkness.
Miguel de Unamuno

Love keeps the cold out better than a cloak.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Glad you are back Don.
For some reason the first quote brought the song," Sunny side of the street to mind", I put a link below.
Nothing like a little jazz on a very early Monday morning.

Like the quotes, but I would prefer a bit wet and cold to all that dry and warm we are having

If water just would be easy to ship so we could help out Lilo. Our water worry is right now broken pipes. What we waste in letting pipes drip overnight would help in the West.

Cold weather quotes are great from the inside. Don't really know if I agree with Morgan Freeman. A hot Toddy or Grog would not hurt, I think. Hot and callories to burn!
