You have to take the conversion into account as well.

Our friends to the north use Celsius.

-4 to us = -20 to them.

So yeah, pretty friggen cold! LOL.

You're right though, still not as bad as other places.

Well we got pretty cold last night, and I can attest the thermometer can go to at least -32 F. On the flip side I couldn't get the defroster to keep the frost of the side windows, but such is life

P R N D !!!

Never thought I would see it either, But had to have a knee replaced this past fall and the other side is soon to be next I hope. I work on gas pumps and sometimes people like to drive fast to be the first at that pump and do not see the safety cones and the person working on the pumps. But thanks for pointing that out.

-14° F indicated on my way to work today and it was still dropping.
It officially bottomed out at -19° F.

I think it might have been high by a degree or two, but it is generally dead on.

Personally, I prefer what we had this morning over 38° F and raining.
When it gets as cold at it was today, there is little to no moisture in the air.
The humidity just chills me right to the bone.

OMFG that sucks! So people would race to the pump not seeing you there and hit you with their car? Oh man! Now I see why you have an automatic. That's something I thought about recently, if I ever broke a leg, just one, how would I drive my Jeep?
