message me on either blog what you voted for, the number, and what you want in return

you can ask for a blograte (in the format under the cut) or an hp blograte (like this)

since I kind of drowned in blogrates last time, I'm setting a limit on these. I will do the first 10-15 hp blogrates, and then they will be the normal ones because the hp kind take forever. if this goes over 50ish (lol) then I will do promos in lists of 5.

frigorific frig-uh-RIF-ik,

adjective

1. causing or producing cold.

Quotes:

When the fog reached the spot where the observer stood, it was found to be devoid of smell, but its influence was decidedly frigorific. — R. Angus Smith, “A Curious Fog,” Popular Science Monthly, August, 1875

It may, indeed, happen that knowledge and virtue remain too long congealed by this frigorific power, as the principles of vegetation are sometimes obstructed by lingering frosts. — Samuel Johnson, The Rambler, September 24, 1751

Origin:

Frigorific is derived from the Latin word frīgus meaning “cold” with the last element -fic coming from the verb facere, “make, do.” It entered English in the mid-1600s.
