Cold day in Athens

So the First State Bank time and temperature tele-lady says it's 39 degrees right now. Man, I'm a wuss. My guess would have been about -9. It's cold. But it's East Texas cold. I'm sure someone in Green Bay, Wisc., is out mowing in this weather right now.
How cold is it? I waved at an electric company employee driving by in my truck earlier today, and he just looked at me -- no nod or wave back, as is standard in these parts. But you can't blame the guy. His hands were in his pockets, and who knows how long he'd been outside.
I'd keep my hands in my pocket, too.
