Not the first one, and maybe not the last one, but this winter sure has been brutal in comparison to the tame winters we've had over the last few years.
So, how's your winter been?

The Blizzard of 2011 was pretty bad since about 2 feet of snow basically fell overnight as shown here mslibertytoo.proboards.com/thread/786/blizzard-centuryThis year we've gotten at least that much snow but its been over the course of weeks, but the bitter bitter cold has made this one a pain

I heard people at work talking about their recent travels to Chicago and the very bitter cold. They were talking in the negatives ! ! ! I've been in single digit weather several times in Canada, but not the negatives.

Yea High temps in the negatives doesn't happen that much, last time was I think 1983 or 1985, but we've had it a few times already since December and when the wind blows...

Up to 66.8 inches of snow, making this the 5th most all time for Chicago
up next:
1966-1967-68.4 1969-1970-77.0 1977-1978-82.3 1978-1979-89.7
If we beat that 77 inches I would be amazed and I think the 80+ records are safe

It's snowing now, which also means it's rather cold outside
