2. coldest 30 days I ever endured

1968, northern Vermont: for 30 consecutive days the highest recorded tepmerature was one degree above zero. ALL cars died, one human died walking back to his dorm after a frat party.

The humidity makes it seem even colder...shiver me timbers.

5. It is cold here, but

I grew up in the midwest (Nebraska) and overall, Winters were colder and harder, so really, it's not so bad.
