This winter has been brutal even by our pathetically low standards. It seems like every day is well below normal temperatures, and often it is also windy and snowing. Our December was the 2nd coldest in over 100 years, and it sure feels like January hasn't been much better.
It's one thing to have a few days of sub-minus-20 weather, but it's another to go literally 2 months in this stuff with almost no respite. Every two or three weeks we've had a day or two where it gets warm, but then it just immediately plunges back down to crazy low temps. It's also seemed much cloudier than normal, and as I said, windier. It's just depressing.
