It's nice here today, too...up to 45 degrees right now. Lance took my car to get gas and said he thought about putting the convertible top down!
The coldest I have ever been was about 15 years ago, here in Maine. It was January and we were having overnight lows of -35 and -40 degrees. In some towns in the mountains, it hit -56. During the day, it never even got up to zero. I remember one day when the "high" of the day was -15. That cold snap (more of the famous Arctic air) went on for a week. (All temperatures are fahrenheit.)
I don't know how to even describe it. Everything is cold. The house, even with the heat on, is cold. It takes the heat in the car forever to warm up. You don't dare go outside with hat, mittens, scarf, hood up, and warm coat.
I had a half-empty bottle of water in the car. I went to a two hour meeting and when I came out, it was frozen solid.
Fortunately, these super-duper frigid cold spells are rare. I've lived here 30 years -- that one (15 years ago) was by far the worst. Brrr!

I definitely layer up pretty good so that's fine... after walking a block or two, you still end up with a frozen eyelashes though ..lol.

I've heard that in Alaska, everyone leaves their car running...when they are doing errands, for example. Run into the post office, leave the car on. Go to the grocery store, leave the car on. Do they do that where you are, Milli?

As soon as either of the following occurs
a) I win the lottery
b) You win the lottery
c) Some heavenly miracle happens and both of us will find all expenses paid flight tickets in our mailboxes (although I have a better idea for a heavenly miracle :().
Thank you Leslie and Milli for your description of cold, I mean really cold. Onehunnerdthousand degrees cold, shit like that. ;D
