Living in CA, I use “winter” as a verb. And the only thing I’ll be salting is my margarita glass thank you very much😎🍸

Notice how reporter repeats "once in a lifetime". Expect more of these winters and worse in the next 50 years: Mini Ice Age.

I work with the fueling company who does fuel American Airlines flights at O’hare. Wednesday night set us back so bad that non of our fuel tankers were filled back up. Being the only tanker who was somewhat able to fuel flight and giving out news that we can’t get anyone out there to help was crazy. Even the other company was having a hard time and most of their equipment was new

I lived through the winter of 1978, and hoped cold like this would never return, again!

I remember in the 70s it was way colder in chicago. -23 is not the record low.

[Vdub-mdwz]

My car said -28 Tuesday night on my way home from work. I was outside for over an hour jumping a co-workers car.

We get weather like this about every 10 to 15 years not a generation.

[mariannejennisch]

We had that awful stuff once in a generation. I still had to go to work in Iowa. But I am glad the mailman got to stay home.

Live in hud housing rarely have heat. Plug in heaters. You get use to sleeping with a jacket on.
