Freakish? Is it really freakish? We’ve had it worse than this. It’s been awhile since it’s been this cold, but I wouldn’t call it freakish. It’s winter in the Midwest.
In the mid 70's, I can remember delivering papers when temps were below zero, without the wind chill. IIRC, one time it lasted about a week, warmed up to almost freezing for a week and then dropped to below zero for almost another week.
I remember in the 80's, puting a heater under my car, a number of times, so that I could start it in the morning.
Now now. You know that the planet is heating up, and that the polar ice caps are melting, so yes, this weather is VERY freakish.
Get up to speed, would'ya?
I had a friend from North Dakota. She came to California because of the cold. Now she hates California for a myriad of reasons. Her mother says that my ex-friend and her Arab husband are going to move out of California and go back to North Dakota. :o)
Hoorah!!!
