I had the privilege of speaking at length with a veteran who was in the seige of Bastogne. They had to pee on their weapons to get them to work, and had no winter uniforms. When I first asked him, he just got this look in his eye and said, "Yeah, Belgium. F*ing Belgium...it was sooo cold..."

Needless to say, he thought highly of George Patton and the Third Army.

My husband’s Uncle said that it felt like even the core of your bones were frozen. When he got back home, he hated the Winter. (He loved it when he was a kid... some things stay with you forever)
