-22* Oh My!!

Its damn cold here on the tundra. It was -22* when Babe and I got up this morning. We did our usual morning dance to the door. I let him out and he barely made it to the bottom of the steps. It was a quick two step then back into the house. Now Babe is a full bred Labrador, built for the cold of the Canadian wilds. He figured 2 minutes was more than enough outside time for him.

Its easy to figure out how cold -22* is. its about 60* colder than the inside of your refrigerator. The truck squeaked and groaned but started as requested. It had warmed to -18* by 9:30 when I left for the auction. Then I drove into urban St. Cloud. In the urban heat bubble it was only -14*. Damn I need some global warming.

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside

The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside

This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in

So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious

My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious

Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there

Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now

But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me

There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow

At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay - Get over that old out

Ahh, but it's cold outside

Baby it's cold outside

Brr its cold...It's cold out there

Can't you stay awhile longer baby

Well... I really shouldn't... alright
