....a city in your state reports an ICE QUAKE!
===
The shaking some UW-Madison staffers and others felt Thursday afternoon near Lake Mendota was most likely an ice quake.

UW-Madison geologists say they recorded a tremor just before one this afternoon that lasted a few seconds.

A seismologist says ice quakes are caused by large shifts in ice and often triggered by drastic temperature changes, similar to those seen in the past few days.

My other "you know it's cold when" item is when your windshield wiper fluid only squirts out as blue slush!

Anybody else in the deep freeze?
