OK, I might be able to have a white wine for the Super Bowl, because the temperature is going to reach 15. Think that’s funny (odd or ha-ha)? Well, yesterday morning the Weather Channel’s website noted that my little corner of Tundraland would see “temperatures rising rapidly into the single digits.”
