Last feb during the kids break was the coldest I have been in. We stayed a couple nights at Bretton Woods and then Drove to Sunday River for a few days. Woke up on about 6:00am turned on the weather channel to hear a female robot voice say "your temperature is -24 degrees."...huh? Way too cold for me to even open the friggin door. I waited till 10:00am to go outside, started the truck (it made a nasty cranking sound) but reluctanty started up ...the outside temp measured a -17 . My nostrals would freeze just breathing. We took that day off skiing and drove to SR and did some shopping in N. Conway. Too hard core for me.

This am I saw the weather channel guy standing at the base of Mt. Washington in -20...he said he went to the top yesterday and it was -41 and the windspeed was 90mph. The have a science office office up there with people who actually work up there...it must be like working on the moon. He said he would rather cover a raging hurricane then stand outside in -20 . It gets painful at those temps.

A balmy +2.5 here this morning when I woke up...but it is *twice* as warm as that now
