Not New England here, but tomorrow's early high here near Rochester, NY is supposed to be +2 and then dropping to -2 to -4 with winds chills of -15 to -30, with 3 to 6 inches of additional snow expected. So we are enjoying the 1 degree that is out right now!

I can remember, when I was living in Iowa and the winters were cold with howling winds, I had been outdoors for some time. Then I went to the food coop to pick up an order of fresh milk. I went into the walk-in refrigerator and thought to myself, "It's nice and warm in here."
I know what you mean. I had the gloves and scarf on this morning. Must have been 50 or so. Brrr...

We're not done yet, Loren. Tomorrow night looks like the coldest day in this little snap with some wind and snow mixed in. Usually not bad here though unless you have to stay outside for prolonged periods or your heat goes off. We're really lucky.
I remember one winter maybe about 20 years ago when the temps went to around zero for a solid week and our heat went because the super cut off the tips of his fingers with a snow blower and didn't order the oil. It got so cold that we had to stay with my brother-in-law in Brooklyn for a few days. There was millions of dollars of damage done to the building - radiators froze and exploded; pipes froze and cracked, and plaster walls just started breaking up. This is an old building (about 100 years) to begin with. A great old building with a working fireplace in every apartment; but that really didn't help much; they're more for effect. We've since switched over to gas with oil for back up secondary boilers only.
Stay warm and in touch my friend.
Regards,
PhilO

How? I spent one December week in Ithaca and Niagara Falls a few years ago. My heaviest Maryland winter wear (long undies, down coat, hat, gloves, scarf,) was completely inadequate to the task of feeling comfortable up there. How do you outfit yourself if you must endure this level of coldness all winter?
brings back memories of high school ( I went to high school up here too)...
