Playing catch-up from after the holiday season, and ironically started reading this thread (as I mentally gear up to face the cold and go get our mail with my daughter). We live in North Dakota--originally from Iowa and moved here a year and a half ago for my husband's job. I thought we had cold winters in Iowa, but this winter has really given me a reality check
! We had the insanely cold temps here that Tank was referring to--and by today we have rebounded up to a balmy -6 degrees currently
(hence the gear up to get on all the layers, etc and walk the half block to the communal mail box). It's crazy though...lately have witnessed temperatures that I've only ever read about (before moving here).
Stay warm everyone!
