The next winter we had 172 inches total accumulation . Both years were records .
I have seen -45F many times on the window thermometer .
That’s why I’m in Florida ! NEVER again will I live in winters like that . Call me a pansy if you like , but it beats freezing to death in a few minutes if you found yourself accidentally locked outside without adequate clothing .
My place had a sauna hut out back , and I have made ‘snow angels’ in the snowdrifts while nude after getting heated up in the sauna when the temperature outside was -20F . Great way to cleanse the pores !
