Winter sayings in the Midwest (US). It is a cold snowy day here in Missouri where I live. I was thinking about some saying that we commonly say around here in the wintertime. If you aren’t a native speaker you might not understand these. -It is slicker than snot out there. (Meaning- The ground outside is very icy and if you try to walk you will fall down or if you drive you will crash your car) -I’m freezing my butt off (Meaning- I feel very very cold. Most of the time it is said when you are very irritated about the cold.) What are some other winter sayings that might not make sense when translated literally?
