50 mph wind gusts and 35 below zero windchill.
It was cold.
We had snow and ice too.
Looked like Antartica outside my window.

I just got my heating bill for that period of time.
Almost double my normal heating bill.
Yikes.

It's cold and windy outside here too, but "here" is northern Virginia. I listen to WBZ overnight, and the cold you're experiencing goes way past anything we're getting. I'm out of beer, but even I might wait until it warms back up before I head to the store.

Ration your supplies so that they last.

Added: WBZ comes in like a flamethrower here. There are closer 50kw stations, like KYW in Philadelphia, that don't come in with that strength.
