So you think it's cold and snowy this week?

Frosty-faced Minnesota and Wisconsin cousins just coming in from shoveling or having their cars jumped may be comforted to know that this winter is nothing compared to the momentous ones of our youth in which we all walked 5 miles to school barefoot through the snow. For instance, here's cousin Davy up to his derriere in some serious snow back in that well-known Ice Age, the 1960s. The scrapblog editor's favorite weather joke of the week came from her colleague Rohan Preston: "It's so cold that I saw Bernie Madoff walking down the street, and his hand was in his own pocket." And her favorite pondering on the cold is by her friend Laurie Hertzel in her wonderful blog.
