At 35 degrees Italian cars won’t start. People in Buffalo drive with the windows down. (she does this. or has the AC on)

At a temperature of 32 degrees Distilled water freezes. Buffalo water gets thicker. (It is 18 degrees as of this posting and she still has unfrozen puddles)

At 15 degrees Californians begin to evacuate the state. People in Buffalo go swimming. (sorry to pick on the California people…they are just easy targets…)

At Zero degrees cheap flophouse landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Buffalo have the last cookout before it gets cold. (pea wouldn’t turn the heat on for herself…but mr pea complains about it being too cool)

At 20 degrees below zero Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Buffalo throw on a light jacket. (We throw on scarves and earmuffs too…we are just don’t usually admit it)
