The Old Joke "It is so cold outside"

I remember as a kid, reading a book about Davy Crocket (a little golden book if I remember right.) It said it got so cold that the sun froze coming over the mountain, and Davy had to climb up there with a bucket of bear grease, and grease that old suns gears and give it a sharp kick to get it moving again.

I never heard a better "It was so cold" story. I can still see the picture of Davy striding across the mountains with a bucket in one hand, and his rifle in the other.

I used to fish all winter. People would ask me if it ever got too cold to fish. I would always reply, "If I back the boat trailer down the ramp, and it doesn't sink...It's too cold to fish."
 
Stopped by the local Tractor Supply store, bought insulated insoles for my L.L. Bean and high top rubber boots. Felt the difference immediately.
 
You know it's cold in Moscow, when even the traffic cops lower their ear flaps...
