The wonder I love is the lack of any real forcast.
Being a kid in the 60’s and 70’s with TV was awesome.
Nobody got a school report until 6am.
I had to shovel coal in my elementary school. Janitor was exhausted in below zero days.
-35F. Ouch. Eddie Bauer the old name Ford took over as a mark of excellence.
It got pretty cold back in the 80’s a d 90’s, not so much anymore. We’re expecred to get to maybe -5 in the next week. I used to work outside in -20 regularly doing carpentry work, then logging- it was the wind chill thouhg that rea.ly got to me after awhile. Used to hunt in hose conditions, and as long ax i kept moving, i was fine. Used to like the challenge of the weather- i musta froze my brain or somethin lol.
My dad used to have to shovel coal too, and haul in ths drinkin water for the day for the school. Was a small school, one room. Was still standing a few years ago, not sure,if it still is. The last 2 room school bui,ding in the area.
