This also applies for the Province of Québec, however they would have to be translated in French to respect the law!!!

Too funny! Sorry to say that the "heat and A/C" line applies to Florida, too, but we sure can't wear snowsuits on Halloween!

I got an email from a friend with this same routine only saying NY or Penn. I think it applies to many places but is very funny.

Born in Nova Scotia, I remember having a Halloween costume that fit over my snowsuit.
