  I live in the Northeast.  Winter is just arriving and it's February, we had no cold snaps and very little snow in January.  Even then, it's supposed to be cold tomorrow and Saturday but then be approaching the 50's by early next week.
  Climate change is awful but it's certainly making New England more bearable.

  Time to wrap the outdoor plumbing with more insulation - in the south, you can see lots of exposed water lines and pipes, but up north, all that is underground and through basement walls - a good lesson for plumbing in general. >
  
  East coast Canada here, forecast for tomorrow includes: "Wind chill minus 35c in the morning and minus 41c in the afternoon. Frostbite in minutes."  Decades is an exaggeration, we get this every few years, but i'm still not going outside tomorrow. >
  
  Maine here.  They're throwing around phrases like "We haven't seen this since the 90s!" as though we didn't have wind chills hitting -40 LAST FUCKING YEAR.
  I don't have to say C or F....at -40 it's pretty much the same thing. >
  
  I don’t know if you intended this, but your joke was funnier than you thought…
  “At -40 it’s pretty much the same thing”
  Literally, -40 is the same in both F and C. As in that’s the number that F and C are actually the same
