This year hasn't been too bad, last year I would go out to start my truck and the mirror would read -17, -21 and even had a -23. That was pretty rough I thought, I know if you keep going north, it's the norm, but ****, when it's so cold that the "Service 4WD" message comes on I consider it impressive.

With the wind here the other night it was -57F. Tomorrow it's supposed to be right around the freezing point. What a stupid place to live...

i used to work with some guys from ohio, who had been luggage handlers at the air port. they would be working out side in the negatives all the time, but when they came down here for one winter the humid mid 30s to 40s had them sick and miserable. but we only get cold temps for about 30 days all winter

We've been getting hammered with snow storm after snow storm, and now we're in the middle of an ice storm...actually I think that it's raining right now, and it's going to change back to ice later. I hate winter lol
