Why Even Tell Us Numbers????

I don't know if any of you have ever heard of a place called Rensselaer, NY, but hearing my girlfriend's mom give her a rundown of their weather report I started to think, "Why would anyone live in a place like that?" Even more important, "Why do weather stations insist on making people depressed?" Don't tell me that its 16 degrees and 3 with the windchill. If its anything under 32, just say Arctic. Let me hope that its more like 31 degrees out even though its really 4. I'm gonna wear 13 layers of clothes anyway, so why torture me further? Telling me its "feels like 3 degrees" does not make it any better. All I know is that my testicles are halfway up my throat because its so freakin' cold out here. Be vague. say something like "it's freezing out." That's all I need. Why even tell us numbers?
