I'm from California, but this is my third New England winter (though last year doesn't really count since Washington DC and New York stole al our snow). Even I know, this is a really important message:
And the tips for idiots (mentioned at 0:57) are especially important:
- Do not attempt to mow lawn
- Do not eat de-icing salt
- Do not start fires indoors
- If you pee on yourself, change pants immediately [it may start off feeling warmer, but wet cotton = hypothermia - kb]
- Wear mittens
- Snow is cold
- A garbage bag does not make a "great coat"
- Keep icicles out of eyes
Be safe out there guys!

Fox News reports on James M. Taylor's presentation at Heartland's Conference:
Here in central New Hampshire, we got another 10-12 inches of snow last night. It's been a winter of heavy precipitation, with sleet giving way to wet snow which turns into powder which eventually freezes into rock solid ice.
Don't live where it snows.

Thanks for posting this. I laughed so hard, I cried. I'm from Buffalo area. You really need to know how to deal with the cold and snow. Incidentally, now living in Northern California, I do not turn the heat on in my house until it gets below 58 degrees.
