Frostbite is much worse. Our weather report states that you can get frostbite here in PA in less than 30 minutes.

Other parts of the country are even colder. There is no positive side to this cold weather for most of the country.

When there is a tremendous amount of snow like in certain areas of Massachusetts, it seems that people come together and help each other out. That is what it is all about = helping each other.

I'd take a mosquito bite any day over this frigid weather.

I'd rather the hot Summer than this cold. Right now at 154 AM EST its 4 degrees in PA. By later this morning it is to be minus 2. Brrr forget it!

I think the bad weather has prevented a lot of people getting to work particularly Qvc.

Hopefully this extended cold spell gets rid of the year round ticks that were here in Ohio because it was a warm winter last year...

I hope it works for the mosquitos too.....they were both awful last year

True enough. Year round mosquitoes would not be pleasant.

As cold as its been it makes me think about our ancestors, way back in the day that there were barely houses to live in, that they had to survive these negative zero temps through their long, long winters. We have to be grateful we have nice warm, insulated homes that we live in. Be happy.

Yes, no bugaboos. And, I like to see the deer in the snow w/o all the leaves hiding them. I have a neighbor that puts out some food for them, evidentally, so they come by. Plus, there's water out back until it freezes.
