"It's so cold on the prairies that everybody wears balaclavas when they go into a convenience store." "It's so cold on the prairies that politicians keep their hands in their own pockets." If you've ever had your tongue stuck to a chainlink fence this book is for you. If your in–laws have ever come to visit while weather watch systems warn of record–breaking snowfalls—this book is definitely for you. If you're ever freezing to death in a stalled vehicle during a prairie whiteout this book may save your life: it's one of the few books freedom–to–read advocates actually recommend burning in case of emergency. Each page is illustrated with a weather saying, so br–r–r–race yourself for a wickedly wry and witty look at the season we love to hate.
