Brrrr!... I didn't realize winters were so harsh in Indiana! The only time I've met such temperatures in France was when I worked in a ski resort in the Alps (+2000 metres) in the eighties. I remembre the icicles in the moustache after using the shovel in the morning so as to make the ski-lift I was working on usable by the tourists.

I understand now. I promise to revise my geography
