A week or so ago we had a record cold snap - the record broken was "the coldest it's been in Bloomington since I moved here":

And it's not just that it hits a low overnight, that -21˙ above was after 9 a.m., the lowest temperature recorded that day was -23˙C!
And it wasn't much warmer in the middle of the day, when the wind-chill took it down to -28!

And now I'm having students ask if I'm going to cancel class because there's a winter storm forecast. They're predicting a lot of snow!

It's the ice I really hate; you can walk on snow ok but when the asphalt get icy you just slip straight over.

It would be nice if we could even out the temperature extremes between Sydney and Bloomington a bit! Can't wait for cooler weather here!
I'll see your -23˙C & raise it...43˙C is just as inconvenient. Instead of slipping on the ice we just melt into a puddle.
