I drove into work today in southern NH @ 12 degrees. That is UP 25 degrees from yesterday morning. I believe the -13 yesterday was the coldest temperature I have ever been in during my 54 years on earth. FYI, I grew up south of Buffalo, NY too.
Yes, it was brisk, but I grew up in Wisconsin in the 50s, and I remember -50 degrees at least once. Officially, the town claimed in was only -49, so they didn’t have to cancel school, and yeah, I walked to school that day, but there was only one hill between home and the school.
Be that as it may, at nearly 71, this cold isn’t not as pleasant as I remember. However, it beats alligators and poisonous snakes.
Someone has to have those extreme low temperatures, so the alarmists will have somewhere else experiencing the balancing opposite nature insists on - giving in one extreme and taking in another.
My son, who lives in the Upper Valley, says that schools in the southern part of the state are all closed tomorrow already in anticipation of the weather.
He’s not sure what they are looking at.
The storm on Christmas day that was supposed to be only a couple inches ended up about ten.
He roof raked the roof while we shoveled the driveway.
