Some are saying some of the coldest weather this decade. Others are saying the coldest arctic outbreak in the last 25 years! :-o

Can it get too cold to make snow?
Yep predictions up here are for sub- zero evenings and at best single digit days
Not technically I don't think, but you eventually run the risk of freezing pipes, and that's a bad thing.
No way that's the coldest of the decade or 25 years. Back in January '04 we had a stretch where up in the ADK's, Placid and Saranac area, it was -20 to -30 at night and -10 at best during the day. I know because I was hiking and camping then.
I remember that. It was our first winter up here and that weather was a shock. It's one of the reasons we upgraded our heating systems; we were having a hard team keeping the rooms warm in those temps.
We had a group come up from North Carolina that week and all they had were light jackets and gloves.
I'm nervous,,,are any lakes up north frozen yet??? It will be a good winter for hockey on natural ponds..
I'm psyched for pond hockey. I welcome the cold with open arms.
Sure am glad I have a nice stack of wood ready to go.

That was the year I had quarter-half mile walks to class at 8AM, some across the top of a fairly windy hill with no tree cover. That was a cold year. At -20F, if you go outside while your hair is still we from taking a shower, it will still freeze under a decent wool hat. I think snot was actually frozen in my nostrils at some points.
