I was born and raised in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom (now living in the Champlain Valley) and can say that yes, I remember it being this cold. In college at UVM we had a few days where windchills were in the -70 range. Certainly lots of -20 nights in the Kingdom as well. However, I don't remember it being cold like this for this many days in a row!

I've lived in central New Hampshire for 23 years, and this is probably the longest stretch I've seen of constant
minus 20f mornings I can remember. However, I do remember a day about 15 years ago when we got down to -32f, and also the infamous 1980 Christmas Eve when it dropped from 25 above to 25 below in about 8 hours!

I'm in southcentral Alaska, on an inlet, and we too have had a long stretch of -20 to -30. It is sure beautiful during the daytime, pastel colors in the sky and the mountain ranges stand out like an oil painting. I'm grateful for my two fireplaces, but I dread seeing the bill this month. Ours is supposed to last a few more days. Some years we are lucky, and get the pineapple express, warm winds from Hawaii. We don't have much traffic to contend with, but power outages do happen from the snow on the lines. Anyway, you Northeasterners have my sympathy!

There was so much ice on the Hudson the other day, I was shocked. The ferries to and from NJ had some problems and people had to find other ways to get into the city.
I am from NE originally and have never seen it this cold in NY, really too cold to go outside. The snow we had is still here, kind of unusual, it's usually gone in a few days, and we're getting more snow tonight.
Have to say our "weather cat" predicted this bad winter. Roxie grows a REALLY thick coat when a bad winter is coming and she sure has been right again this year, so check with us next winter and we'll let you know what Roxie says, she is a Russian Blue by the way.

When I was a boy, the words froze when they came out of people's mouths. We would gather them like little ice cubes and bring them in to thaw. Once, when we were having one of those spells, we found a mound of these little ice words in our front yard. But we sure were disappointed when we brought them in, arranged them in a a line, waited for them to thaw, and found out they were French.
