My roomate in college used to have this list about pa and temperatures. It went along the lines of

at 32 degrees, water freezes
In pennsylvania, the Susquehanna thickens.

It had a whole bunch of ones like that and it was hysterical. Can someone find it or have heard of it???

I keep trying to find it on google but its not working.
