Yeah, it's below zero, but back in the '70s it would get like this in the middle of January and stay below zero all day, for weeks at a time. This is nothing. Also, I walked 10 miles to school in 3 feet of snow, uphill, both directions. But it really was a whole lot colder 30-40 years ago.

Not including wind chill.

And yes, as bad as this is, in the 70's and early 80's it was worse. We had weeks where the temp would only get up to zero.
