Cooler Near the Lake?

An annotated thermometer...

Hello, All!
     Well, it finally got cold here, just in time for the big
football game this weekend.  Nearly everyone here is wearing the
Packers' Green and Gold (actually yellow, but I won't argue it). 
And of course, they are playing a southern team - North
Carolina's  Charlotte Panthers.  Green Bay has some truly awesome
winters, so it remains to be seen how the Panthers will survive
the cold.
     Actually, I have to leave for North Carolina - like RIGHT
NOW!  So, I'll keep this SUNFUN short.  But as I've been watching
the weather reports this week, on thing struck me -  the North
Carolina report is saying 'Cold, highs in the 30's'.  The
Wisconsin state forecast is saying, 'Warmer mid-week with highs
in the 20's'.  So warmer in Wisconsin is colder than cold in
North Carolina.  I guess that is what I always though anyway...  
Well, off to the southlands to bask in the 'cold'.  Hope you all
have a great week!
     And stay warm!
