We've been sunny every day this month! Also, the wind hasn't been too bad.. there were some days I was out there at -25 with sunshine and light winds, and it didn't feel bad at all. The sun is getting stronger and the days are getting longer, so that increasing amount of sunshine is certainly helping people get through this psychologically. <BR/><BR/>As far as sustained cold goes, we've had worse. Just take a look at Jan-Feb 1996, or Jan-Feb 1966, or Jan-Feb 1936 with temperatures in the -30s and -40s for several weeks. I think it's getting more difficult for people to handle any prolonged cold nowadays since it's becoming less and less frequent.<BR/><BR/>1936 sure was an interesting year weatherwise. After enduring brutal cold through Jan and Feb, we went through scorching heat in July with our hottest temperature ever at 42C. I wonder if they were talking about climate change back then? :)robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.com
