    "Freeze the balls off a Brass Monkey"
    Naval origin: "Monkey" is the brass base upon which cannon ball were stacked. Differential thermal contraction would shrink the "Monkey" and cause the balls to fall off.
    Freezing one's "balls" off.....derivative.

    My illustrious ( and "My" is not possessive) Governor (Dayton) has cancelled public schools for tomorrow...."In the interest of Public safety".
    However...there is a song I heard once. As I recall it was written by some guys in Fargo.
    "Forty Below Keeps the Riff-Raff Out"
