This year has been unseasonably cold by about 20 degrees in like 80%, if not more, of the US. Florida being the exception.
I'm not a meteorologist by any means, but I've always been fascinated by weather. It's baffling to see the Jet Stream dip so low in North America this year. It's not like it's a cycle where it's been gradually getting colder over years. It just happened all at once.
My theory is that it has to do with a very slight decrease in ocean temperature in the Pacific this year which changes the weather over land dramatically. Especially west of the Mississippi river.

Man I live In Montana... On Friday our HIGH was -18f and it got as low as -30f at one point I believe. On top of that I had to deliver packages for 12 hours in a freezing package car all day, it was miserable

Honestly though I think it was worse last year, then again my memory sucks so maybe not. I think we're just used to it, I do laugh when I see people saying 60-70 degrees is cold 
Not so much in this thread as I've only read the OP, but I seen others in the last week or so stating this and I just laugh at how good other people have it

The thing i hate worse about the cold weather are cold sores on my lips, fucking hate em. Then my lips get all chapped an shit, flakey skin its gross. Yeah friday night I'm sitting in my truck and lisening to the radio and they say it's colder then the north pole presently, wow great. It was ok though I got like 2.5 hours OT that night, worked till 4am (I work nightshift though, usually till 130am), good excuse to get some extra monies.
Which is also good because I got a 300$ fine the other week for running a red light that I need to pay off somehow

i've got nothing on any of you guys, but it's been cold here by my standards; which means it's been getting in to the low 30s (F). not quite freezing, but hovering just above it. for coastal southern california, that's pretty cold. normally my area is between 52F and 78F depending on the time of year. it's been rough getting out of class on tuesday and thursday at 11pm for the past couple weeks because no only has it been 39-40F, but it's been windy and i have to walk two miles home.
walking warms my core up, but by the time i get home i can't feel my fingers or toes.

When I lived in Montreal, there were a few times when I got home my eyelashes and nose hairs had frozen together.
Canada isn't really fit for human habitation.
