"Good for something"... well, if your beer NEEDS to be cold to be palatable.. *grin*.

Here in the metro Wash DC area, we are durned chilly at about 11⁰F, but no snow and no major issues... (except for a few old water mains cracking and some very cold repair crews).

I am not exactly used to this in recent years, but 60 years ago I walked a paper route in Wichita, Kans. in 2⁰F.... a time or two. I did shopping just BEFORE the Big Chill, so we can stay inside till it eases a bit on Thurs.
