Just how cold IS it in New England?
THE OFFICIAL NEW ENGLANDER TEMPERATURE CONVERSION CHART 50 F (10 C) Californians shiver uncontrollably. New Englanders plant gardens. 35 F (1.6 C) Italian Cars won't start. New Englanders drive with the windows down. 32 F (0 C) Florida water freezes. New England water gets thicker. 0 F (-17.9 C) New York City landlords finally turn on the heat. New Englanders have the last cookout of the season. -60 F (-51 C) Mt. St. Helens freezes. New Englander Girl Scouts sell cookies door-to-door. -100 F (-73 C) Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. New Englanders pull down their ear flaps. -173 F (-114 C) Ethyl alcohol Freezes. New Englanders get frustrated when they can't thaw the keg. -460 F (-273 C) Absolute zero; all atomic motion stops. New Englanders start saying "it's wicked cold" -500 F (-295 C) Hell freezes over. The Boston Red Sox win the World Series

2. coldest 30 days I ever endured
1968, northern Vermont: for 30 consecutive days the highest recorded tepmerature was one degree above zero. ALL cars died, one human died walking back to his dorm after a frat party. The humidity makes it seem even colder...shiver me timbers.

I grew up in the midwest (Nebraska) and overall, Winters were colder and harder, so really, it's not so bad.
