A friend from farther south--after complaining about how cold it was where he is--asked me if we were having a brutal winter.

I said that it was actually a fairly normal winter up here. It's just that everyone else, from Texas to England and Florida to Ireland, appeared to be sharing our winter.

Actually, we usually have more varying temperatures....as usual, we didn't get below freezing for more than a few days in a row until late Dec., but we've been there for 3 weeks now -- usually there's more variance in temp in January, and in general in this time of the year.

Yes, but it's all entirely within the range of what people up here deal with, year to year, as opposed to being wildly shocking to them.

There was one winter a few years back where the snow cover started in mid-December and didn't leave until March. I spent most of it at work. :/
