The low in my years in upstate NY was -22 degrees F. I think Watertown, NY was -40 F at that time. That's just West of where you live now. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

I thought I was going to freeze. But M wanted to live here and I'm easy. And it ends up I'm in a tropical paradise compared to the rest of the country during the winter. But it's also the perfect cool spot during the summer. I lucked out.

My car was an old Subaru DL with a heater that could either keep the windshield clear, or my hands warm. I figured seeing the road was rather important, so the windshield it was. Halfway through, it started snowing inside as my breath condensed against the roof of the car. Fun trip...

For about 3 months. Frozen windshield that I had to get out and scrape off every 5 minutes. Wipers did nothing and high strength ice windshield wiper fluid froze solid. Good times
