I'll complain, but only in a whisper since 2T2L and Fargo are colder than where I am - here it is a balmy -27 below 0.
And I agree, I wish we'd convert to metric system, too. Even though I'll have to relearn almost everything.

We're in the Fox Valley west of Chicago and just slightly below Grinsa (hi!) at -16F, up from -18F a few hours ago. Our schools also were cancelled. Today was a finals day and the last day of the semester at our high school; not sure how they'll handle that since they have all new classes when they go back next week.

Hey! I thought that if I converted the temperature in Minot to Celsius, I might feel a little warmer. No such luck. -40 Fahrenheit = -40 Celcius.
Seriously, I have wished for years that the US would change over to the Metric system.

Seriously, I was in 6th grade and received my first introduction to the Metric system because the US was to change over "very soon."
Ah, well ... that's over 30 years back, now. Guess we have been slow with the change over!

Yes, I'll complain.
It is around 12F here in boston. It may dip below 0F tonight and tomorrow night. And we're invited to a pot-luck party tomorrow night.
It was 15F last night and I went to pick up my husband with my car. He normally walks home at night (35 min walk), but I felt bad he had to do that in the cold and in the dark.
