Colnddentally, the image starts ap­ pearing in late December. I swear, one late December night i saw Santa Claus. His f As much as I hate to acknowledge it, the beast winter is upon us. The arrival of winter means several things: Snow, cold, Christmas, more cold, much more cold, ailments induced by the cold, and you thought much more cold was cold. You'd think we all would have enough sense to stop complaining about the cold and do sometning about it. The only alternative is to move south. But we all Enow the south is running out of water and that they'll be lucky to have any by the end of next year. I'll take my chances with the cola and the Great Lakes. ' In order to help you prepare for winter, I've developed a common sense guide about winter to re-acquaint you with the Dark Months: Winter: It's the fourth season of the year, which often makes me wonder why God didn't stop at the third season when He had a good thing going. Did something go wrong? Not much good can be said about winter, unless of count seeing your breath still leaves you in Wohderous awe.

Wind Chill: Whatever the thermometer says in the morning, subtract 20 or 30 from it and, viola, you have a wind-chill factor. As if 20 below zero weren't cold enough, the weather ghouls decided to factor in the effect of the winds. Sure, they can do that when they're sitting inside toasty-warm. Next to humidity readings in August, the wind-chill factor is the most onerous of all meteorolgfeal guage. Dead Battery: This often happens first thing in the morning or last thing before going home from work. When I (in late December.

You're body will ache for 24 to 48 hours, your temperature will peak at 100, your disposition will be similar to that of a caged Tasmanian devil, and sometimes you'll get sick to your stomach. After about 36 hours, consult your bedside atlas. Find a nice out-of-the-way place, then tell your friends the next day you had a rather unusual strain of the Asian Type B flu called Ujung Pandang virus. Then breathe in their faces. COLD FEET They are not to be confused with running feet, but they can4t>e confused with "boy, is it cold outside." While there is nothing you can do once you have a cold or the flu, there are measures that can be taken to cure cold feet. Ah, science. What I do is hold my feet under my armpits, the warmest part of your body. I may buy a pair of those electric socks this winter. Depression: If it is unexplainable, it certainly must be Februarv.
