Used to work in the Canadian Arctic in college. In Cambridge Bay, NWT. You know, where it is 100% night during the winter? Had a saying: "There are two seasons here. Fourth of July, and winter."
Went to grad school in Austin, TX. It can get mighty cold when that wind comes out of Canada and has only wheat fields in the Midwest to not slow it down. Only crazier drivers on ice/snow than Austinites are these folks around Charlotte, NC. Mention freezing moisture coming, like the weather people are braying about this afternoon, and you can't find a loaf of bread on a store shelf for 100 mile radius!
