Wow SC, I did not know they moved the city of Lake Placid to Florida, I heard people were leaving New York, but dang a whole city!!!!!This is our local forecast for Christmas. Wind chill temperatures but for us this can be brutal cold. 30s and 20s are just different in Florida. We are not built for this.
When it is 24 in Frostproof, it is no longer frost proof.

Yeah butt, if you had hemorrhoids the cooling sensation might feel good for a moment.
Your cold was a lot worse, but I went through a winter survival school once. Maybe it will help a little if things get bad enough. Oddly the coldest I ever been was in Viet Nam, 40 foot up in the air in a guard tower with no place to get out of the wind, no cold weather gear and an abnormally cold night.Speaking of freezing temps, back in the early 80's around February, I was at Ft. Wainwright Alaska for 30 days with a unit from the 101st out of Ft. Campbell. Our first few days were classes and equipment pickup for extreme cold weather training. One major who was an instructor there took me and a couple of others to a door to the outside and threw his cup of coffee up into the air and it crystallized before it hit the ground. The temp at the time was around -40° with a wind chill factor of around -90° as the wind was blowing very hard.
After getting our training and equipment, we spent a week in the field in and around some mountain ranges with the temps in the -20's and 30's with wind chill factors much colder. Below is us on a road march with ski's in tow and the other picture is the inside of a 10-man tent with a Yukon gravity fuel fed stove. That stove was a life saver. On the ground is pine branches so as to keep from having our equipment in mud. As the Yukon stove heated up, the frozen ground would get wet and muddy.

Wow, we're lucky, Bert. 28°F and sunny here. Not bad, actually. Wind is brutal.

Yep! I posted a link related to that the other day on the political board. They intentionally used the wrong size paper to jam the machines.I have not read this at all but posting it in the spirit of Christmas....
Printer settings changed on Election Day, linked to tabulators rejecting ballots: Maricopa official
In Kari Lake election challenge trial, county director of elections testified ballot-on-demand printer settings were altered by a tech acting independently of county election department. Trial judge is expected to rule in the case before January.
I remember. I prefer cold for Christmas but not polar cold.
That is what I told her but she insisted on going over there and checking it out. It will be 50° this afternoon and the sun is very bright now. Clear skies with no clouds in sight.
Same here; no power for about 30 minutes. Thankfully, the temp is up to 15.4 degrees now after a low of 6. It's kinda brisk outside, but the sun is shining.
