Oh man, I can’t even imagine it. I’ve lived in a few cold places in my life, but not like that kind of cold. S. FL has it’s issues, but we think we’re freezing when we get to +40!!
Well, you bundle up when you go outside, that’s for sure. And you start your cars early and let them heat up, also to get the frost off the windows so you don’t have to scrape as much. The dog does his thing right outside the back door next to the sidewalk. That way all he has to do is turn around and run back inside. At least it makes for easy cleanup, and you can really see where the yellow snow is...
Fortunately, we bought a new snow blower this year so we’re prepared. And a neighbor with a plow on the front of his pickup does our driveway so we only have to worry about the sidewalks around us (and him, of course).
I work weekends at a store chain in the midwest that sells farm and vehicle products. It pays for my seasonal golf. The customer service desk is right by the entry and the ladies who man the desk have to wear their winter coats all day long what with traffic through the doorway. And this place has an enclosed entry, but it faces North and the winds do blow...
We’ve had snow on the ground since November 30th. I doubt it’ll go away this year anytime soon. The roads and streets are pretty clear, and the snow is iced over now so there’s little concern with blowing, that is until the next new snowfall. But that will come, sure as shootin’.
