Here is (finally) snowy Michigan, we are currently at -5 C. -- I could 
tell you what that is in F. degrees but why spoil your chance to learn 
the wonderul world of metrics -- beyond knowing that the old Fifth is 
now 750 ml. Old habits die hard. Heard of a bartender getting off work 
and stopping at a convenience store -- and asking for a fifth of milk.
When hard winter arrives -- usually the first weekend in February, you 
can eat your wine frozen on a stick. It's called a drunksickle.
