[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 616465, member: 1963"] Snow missed us this far North, but Chicago and Milwaukee got clobbered. We're just bitter cold like we've been for the last 2 weeks. Monday the HIGH is supposed to be 20 BELOW zero (That's Fahrenheit for you Celsius folks). Temps that night will be a balmy 30 below 0 F. I shudder to think what the windchills will be. Of course, beyond a certain point, it's just "stupid cold" and you stay in as much as possible. taps are left dripping even with heating tapes on the pipes in that kind of cold. Better to pay the water company an extra hundred bucks than to pay the plumber a thousand or more for a burst pipe or three. For those of you in the chill zone, take care and follow precautions. This is colder than most of the US is used to, and requires caution in dressing and driving that we normally don't have to take. Those of you in Canada...you can have your weather back any time now. Why is it you share the cold so willingly in the winter, but keep it to yourselves in the summer? [/QUOTE]
