Hardy souls who shivered and shoveled their way through February in the Northeast now have evidence of just how brutal the weather was, with record cold in at least eight cities and record snowfall in Boston.

I. freaking. lived. it.

We got freezing rain today...its a ice skating rink out there now.

LOL!!!

2015 will be the hottest year on record.
Number of days with temperatures below zero: 30
Last winter's number of days below zero: 25
Longest streak of below zero days: 11
Coldest day of the year: -21°
Snowfall to date: 78.1 - It was the 3rd snowiest February ever with 40.4" of snowfall.
It's warmer today...23 degrees, and it's snowing. We're expecting another 2-5 inches.

Yes, the sun is in a low time. But is this guy right? Wow.
Caused of course, by globull warming.
Yeah, but AlGore and Michael Mann have informed me that it was the HOTTEST Record Cold in History
Dr. Zhivago would probably not be a good one right now.
