I was snickering because I'm looking at that crazy thermometer.
That can't be right.

A kind of oven to melt the sleet and snow This heart that glows like an ember Longs to be loved just by you
So warm in December too
Then you'd keep me so warm in December.
Ooh, it's cool in December.
Please keep me warm in December, too.
Listen to the warm A night is almost gone We can listen to the warm Soft Touch the fingers of the dawn
Till the edge of dawn We can listen to the warm With love It's either famine or a feast You've got to learn to smile at least And store of pleasures for that rainy day When love goes away
Listen to the war.
Listen to the warm.
And now the night is gone.
Come close and listen to the warm.
to stay right here with you.
Fact is, that is what I'd planned to do.
But from that cool look on your face, I think I'll head south.
to a warmer place.
Thought I'd given you the best of me.
I'd be glad to share the rest of me.
But there's a chill in your embrace, so I'd better
head south to a warmer place.
Seems like yesterday we could kiss and build a fire.
But now it's 10 below.
Seems like yesterday

your case so I'm going south to a warmer place.
But this long deep freeze has done me in.
And it's too late to plead your case, so I'd better go south.
show us.
start the gal can play it very smart because she hasn't got a heart you see.
I play games, my heart's in flames, so I will wind up just where I began.
Just a war hearted woman in love with a cold hearted man.
A huggy man that squeeze and find a million ways to please him.
Would I ever tease him?
No, sir.
He can't play games.
My heart's in flames.
So I will wind up just where I began.
Just a warm-hearted woman in love with a cold-hearted man.
I keep trying, and my hopes keep flying.
and understand I'm a warm-hearted woman in love with a cold, cold, cold-hearted
hard my dear to show that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid.
Each thing I do is just some evil skin.
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far.
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue.
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do.
In anger, unkind words I said that make the teardrop stars.
Why can't I free a doubtful mind
Melt your cold.
Just some evil scheme.
A memory from your lone past keeps us so far away.

Billy May, one of the last guys.
Out of the Glenmiller original orchestra.
It'll warm up later this week, I keep hearing.
But it could be a whole lot worse.
Let me have Paul Harvey tell you about it.
Paul Harvey knew something about the year 1816.
He wasn't afraid to share it.
Paul Harvey is on WRJN every noon.
And I think that's great because nobody can deliver a story, especially the rest of the story.
of the story.
The action-adventure motion picture the day after tomorrow, thrilled audiences with vivid visions of the next Ice Age, Manhattan Island engulfed by rising seas, the northern hemisphere instantly fresh frozen like a bag of birds' eyepieces.
In fact, nobody knows what the next Ice Age would look like.
But what did the last one look like?
Well, this is what.
During the last Ice Age,
If you could have stood on the highest mountain on the North Atlantic Island of Iceland, you could not have glimpsed the open sea in any direction.
Nothing but vast ice flows for miles around yawning beyond every horizon.
Even far to the south in what's today Scotland, temperatures plunge through most of the year to the point that plant life ceased to flourish.
In Switzerland, glaciers roared down out of the Alps into the lower valleys.
crushing, gouging and gulping everything in their paths as did glaciers worldwide from Norway to New Zealand.
And what do you know?
As New York Harbor, where all of the ships passed through all of the year, it was completely frozen.
You could walk from Manhattan to Staten Island without even dampening the soles of your shoes.
The Baltic Sea regularly froze solid as well.
What caused the last ice age?
Scientists wonder about that.
Some conjecture that increased volcanic activity during the epoch put enough dirt and ash into the upper atmosphere to filter significant amounts of warming solar radiation.
Others observe that the sun itself goes through cycles of slight warming and cooling.
And oh yes, a fluctuation of as little as a few tenths of a percent in the energy output of the sun.
That could be enough to alter the Earth's climate dramatically and unquestionably something did.
How long did the Ice Age last?
Four, maybe six centuries.
And we have remarkably precise evidence of it for the last 250 of those years, thanks to the invention by one Galileo of something called the Thermometer.
You see, climatologists estimate the outside parameters of the last Ice Age from roughly 1250 to 1850 AD.
And yes, it meets all of the qualifications of a genuine global Ice Age.
The famines resulting from drastically diminished growing seasons killed millions, one and a half million in 1315 alone.
The year 1315 glaciers appeared where they had not in thousands of years wiping out farms in entire towns in two hemispheres.
Now some winter times even in New York Harbor solidified and in the year 1816 there was no summer at all, not anywhere.
So should it occur to you, as it has to art historians, that landscape oil paintings in the 16th and 17th centuries have more than their share of snow?
You will know that what you are seeing through those windows in time are glimpses of something you thought was prehistoric.
Yes, I do mean to say that we civilized humankind lived through.
The last Ice Age, and we scarcely even knew it was there.
But now you know the rest of the story.
by my fireplace and dream about you.
But now that won't do.
There's a flaw in my flu Your lovely face in my fireplace Was all that I saw
Cause my flu has a flaw From every beautiful ember A memory arose Now I try to remember
It's not as sweet by the unit heat to dream about you.
So darling adieu, there's a flaw in my flu.
I think it is, although some deny it.
The story I heard, I know you're wondering what you're listening to.
Apparently, record executives wanted more romantic music from Frank.
And Sammy Kahn and Jimmy Van Heusen wrote that as a joke.
If you listen to the lyrics, they're ridiculous.
But it's really a nice tune.
Talking about music.
And those guys are serious about it.
reportedly the executives loved it even though they didn't really hear it the music of the stars oh they heard it but they didn't listen
The music of the stars all the way to high known.
