In 1949, the low this past Monday was -52F. That's not windchill, that's temperature. Of course, it was a record that still stands and that's fine with me!

The coldest I've been was -24F when I was in Korea.

We keep a "Winter Kit" in each car. It includes chemical handwarmer packs, sterno, MREs, an old WOOL Army blanket, and toilet paper. Getting stuck in the cold during a storm is no fun -- been there, done that, and don't want to go back.

Oh, yeah -- you might want to leave the faucets on just a trickle.
