We are supposed to get severe cold here about next Wednesday. It appears to be the front moving down from the NW. They expect down to -30° F. This year if it isn't cold here, it snows, oh well.
Back in about 1967-68, I needed to see a girlfriend off...

Wife says it hit -44° this Thursday morn. New record for Jan 15th in Bismarck. 
Lucky me, did not have to go to work in it. She used my Impala, which is parked outside, and says it barely cranked over but did start. Gotta love FI.
She said one weird effect was auto exhaust on the car ahead was so thick, and the air so still, that visability was artificially severely impaired.
I once heard of a town in northern Russia, that is so traditionally cold, that the few cars there have an extra windshield siliconed on the front just to be able to keep frost-free.
We usually get very little snow but have 61 inches so far. Might have to glue something to my ears till spring.
