Iowa Poem

It's winter in Iowa
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.

Oh, how I love Iowa
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Iowa
'Cause I'm frozen to the ground.

I honestly like winter. Like the cold weather. Like the snow. I guess I laugh and tell people, if ya don't like winter in Iowa, you can always go south.....I will help you pack. (clapping)

Here in Saskatchewan we say.... -35 helps to keep the riff raff out. It also gives us a few weeks without flies and mosquitos.

I love snow - Buffalo winters are the best. The Michigan wind is a bit much but I love winter - (I don't like the foot of snow followed by the 4 inches of rain followed by the foot of snow followed by 8 inches of rain - but then that isn't real winter)

We get pretty cold and the wind is a killer - not as cold as JIT but here is my ticket!
2 pairs of underarmour long underwear
1 hooded sweatshirt
1 pair nylon insulated bibs
1 underarmour mens jacket (weigh about 2 ounces and is incredibly warm)
1 BFLO Sabres cap
1 or 2 neck scarves
Muck boots - Artic
Smart wool sox (1 or 2 pr)
smart wool glove liners
polar fleece over gloves

add more layers as necessary to complete the Michlen man look so popular in this area
