Years ago my daughter went to Penn State to study meteorology. When November of her freshman year rolled around I got a message "Pennsylvania is cold!" I told her she had the option of Florida State but she turned them down. Then in mid winter I'd get further updates like:
"It is warmer on the surface of Mars today than it is in State College."
and
"It's one degree here. Degree should never be singular."
A few years later I had a enology class there in February. It was in the same building as the university creamery so I bought a couple of half gallons of ice cream to take home. They asked if I needed an insulated bag. I said "It's -4 degrees, is the ice cream going to get too cold?"
