It's so... Fucking... Cold.... 4

Last week, it was like 3 or 4 degrees, barely any snow. This week, shit ton of snow, -15, feels -1000 with the wind.
This is what happens up here folks. One evening you go to sleep, the temperature is warm and there's no snow on the ground. The next morning you up to fuck ton a snow and hell has frozen over. Same with summer. It's cold and shitty and you get to the point where you just admit to yourself that summer won't happen this year, then suddenly its super hot and the snow melts like Koods in a Trump thread.
Yesterday I had my tires changed. I had a n hour of waiting ahead of me so I decided to go have lunch and a restaurant not a quarter mile away. I had to stop twice at a bank and a pharmacy to warm up. Couldn't tolerate the cold for more than 5 minutes at a time. I had 2 shirts on and my winter coat... The wind ripped through you like a rusty dull jagged knife.
We have a bipolar mother nature up here and she's not taking her meds.

You make my 20 degree weather sound like a warm spring vacation.

Yesterday it was -24 in the morning...tomorrow it'll be 2 with rain 
I live in a snow-belt city, and we pretty commonly get 20-30 cm of snow, but if you drive for 10km in either direction there won't be a trace of the stuff on the ground.
I love winter...but I think I'm in the minority.

Yea man, I'm in Brandon, Manitoba, and fuck my hat it's been like -20 during the days and -35 at night with windchill factors adding -10 or -15 degrees on top of it.
I live in a mobile home, and I'm SO fucked glad that the first thing I did when I moved in was framed and insulated behind the skirting with 2 inch styrofoam insulation, and I also pipe insulated the water and sewer lines, and then used the pink wall insulation with an r18 value and covered them.
I have heat tape just in case, but I've never turned it on, while a couple other people in town have tin skirting or just vinyl and bare exposed pipe, with the heat tape on constantly, their hydro bills are like $450 a month, Mine has never gone over $140

When you live in a winter country you have to double check the insulation on everything. It could be a fatal mistake.

Sunday's going to be rough here in Northern Wisco. I'm not planning on leaving the house at all this weekend actually, fuck that noise. -40 wind chill, I'll pass. It just sucks when you start to get sick and then on top of that, got to deal with these bitter cold snaps.
