Yeah, yeah

I know -2°C doesn't seem all that cold to you Colonials. Bear in mind that this is the first time that it's dipped below zero all winter in Dublin (city, not county), and that we usually have wind of 10mph or more here, and higher humidity than most places. For an island sitting in the Gulf Stream, -2°C is pretty good going.

it's about -4 C here, and has been every day for a while. I know this because my handy outdoor thermometer reads in both Fahrenheit and Celsius; I suck at conversions.

This is Georgia, and is about as cold as it usually gets here. Which wouldn't be so bad, only the house we are living in is typical pre-air-conditioning Southern construction (built for coolness, not warmth...)

I was going to say, try -40°C. ;) But indeed, it's all relative.

Currently, it's -6F here in Madison. It's been several days since the temp last got above freezing.

At least we've finally gotten snow. We've been having winter droughts in Wisconsin, where it's just bitter cold and dry.

That's pretty good, yeah. I don't know how fast the winds get in New England, but they frequently whip around well above 10mph. As you say, though, the high humidity is really the kicker. I'll be interested in comparing the types of cold between here and there.

I'll probably bring my down jacket, some insulated jeans, and my thermal sleeping bag. I could bring my insulated storm coat and hooded sweatshirt, but I'm thinking the down will be better at this point.
