Its good to know that where I used to live is just as cold! I lived in Cleveland for three years and I've been back in IA for a year now. I love not having to deal with the "Lake Effect" snow anymore!

The temps here can't compare with all of yours, but we're at 18 degrees with a windchill of 13. We're supposed to go down to single digits tonight with windchill below zero. Tomorrow it's supposed to be even colder.

Computer told me -28* when I turned it on before I went to my 8am class. Checked windchill and it said -49*

I personally love the cold.
