It was something like -4F here last night (-20C), with like a -21F windchill. It's cold, but like Canucklion said, it's to be expected in northerly climates. You just suck it up and get used to it. Wouldn't really give it up though, as I love having four actual seasons (though in Chicago it's really only two since it tends to go from winter to summer in about a week)
