I can’t even imagine what -30 feels like, or how anyone functions in freezing conditions like that.

We have to pack it in when it hits 37 because any colder and our fingers go numb. We’ve already blocked out Monday because the daytime high is only going to be about 30.

I can't, either. Here in Orange County, Calif., it's around 60 degrees. The high temps have been flirting with 80 all week and should continue to do so.

You can get used to cold weather if you live in it every winter, but there’s no getting used to -30. LOL.

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......
