It was so cold, I saw a chicken walking with a "capon" U. Phillips.
My thermometer went down so far, I had to go down cellar to read it.

I put a bucket of hot water on the porch, and, it froze so quick, the water was still warm.

The wind blew so hard, it unravelled a crowbar. (My Uncle Curt)
And, it blew two rooster feathers through a grind stone.

The snow was so deep, I saw a man poking around with a pole trying to find his chimmney.
