      I’m guessing your breath doesn’t turn into ice crystals the second it exits your lungs on your turkey farm most of the time.

          Fair enough, although I would guess that Michigan might be slightly warmer than Antarctica.

            Maybe a degree or 2. I’m not saying as cold. I was specifically talking smell

          Not this year, we have had the warmest winter I can remember. I only shoveled the driveway twice. Last year I shoveled at least a dozen times.

            This winter was weird as hell. We got a lot of snow all at once then it all melted in a week
