hello Keith
I thought this is not a bad limerick at all (not so sure about the anapestic meter though, I am still practicing it myself.)
However this gave me a chuckle, picturing you snugging/ snuggling under all the covers in such a cold climate ;)
Wish you the best in the contest.
P.S. To enter this for the limerick's contest you need to choose Edit> choose from the contest's drop window at the bottom of the page (April 2016 - Limerick - Prize -$25 USD Amazon.com Gift Certificate) > save
Hope this helps

limerick
Twenty below was exageration for comic effect but I suppose this still works
Snug under the covers I go
to a world which no one can know.
then slide down the bed
sheet over my head
as outside its still five below.

The prime rules of limericks are
the AABBA rhyming scheme.
The BB lines being shorter and can be combined into one line.
The meter need not be strictly Anapaestic but should be consistent.
I especially like this as it is not straight-forwardly comic or bawdy, has almost a haiku quality.
