Everything here is covered in ice and its bitter cold.

A nice -3* with 30mph winds.  Weather.com says it feels like -30.

Is it summer yet?

No snow, but I had to drive home last night after an ice storm. That sucked.

Does -30 really feel much colder than -20? Is there a cutoff where ridiculously cold is just ridiculously cold? I guess I'm having a hard time imagining what it would feel like. It often gets in the single digits here in the winter and occasionally a few degrees below zero but rarely as cold as it gets out in the plains and mountain states.

It was in the 60s here all of last week and most of this weekend. I hated it. It is a cool and crisp 46* right now, and I couldn't be happier.

Says the foreigner.  Here in 'Merica we don't like that there dern cold weather.

Right now it feels like 11 here in Colorado.  When I got in it way -14 and I have no idea what it was with the windchill.  I'm used to 60* being cold.  Most. Miserable. Vacation.  Evar.
