Back into the 1990's I recall getting out of my truck to walk into a home we were (thankfully) doing the trim work on.

It was - 35°

I thought for sure I was going to die between the truck and the front door. I've never seen it close to that temperature in Michigan before or since.

I live about 200 miles further north now, it's barely going to get below zero, so it's not really that big of a deal, heck I'll probably go out cross country skiing tomorrow.

Gotta love the intensity of the global warming though......

If we did indoor construction work, the cold would probably never stop us, but we're outside on ladders all day. A lot of folks think nothing of 20 or 30 degree weather, but if you're working bare-handed in it for four or more hours, you're gonna hurt.

Sometimes it's all we can do to finish a job if we get caught in a rapid temperature drop like that.
