Yeah, that’s not too bad, 15F for January. Well, up north, anyway. Driving in the snow and ice is an art. I’ve done enough of it in my life to last a lifetime. I sure am glad it doesn’t snow here. Although, the bugs are industrial strength and plentiful. It never gets cold enough to kill some of them off - they just think they should try to move inside with you.Yeah, us professionals call it "butt cold..."
Actually, you as a native Pittsburgher would laugh at us, but we shivered through the 15F/-9.4C mornings. Thank the Gods we got no frozen precip, simply can't handle it here (and we usually get ICE, not snow).
Nothing worse than an ice storm, brings this place to a screeching halt until it melts.
Ice storms are awful. I missed a day of work once because my car was encased (literally!) in ice. I couldn’t chisel the door open. I walked home from somewhere when I was a teenager after an ice storm. It took forever! Baby steps and grabbing onto everything every step of the way.
Fun times!
