I saw on TV yesterday that at some weather station in NH they were chipping the ice off the instruments, and they were expecting temps of -100 degrees (yes, NEGATIVE 100, and that's Fahrenheit) with the wind chill. I wonder if your eyes would freeze shut when you blinked?

Don't know, but imagine what would happen if you sneezed.
