re: Hah. -58 F is considered "hat wearing weather" back in Minnesota.

The coldest temperature recorded in Minnesota since 1891 occurred on the morning of Feb. 2, 1996. Throngs of reporters and TV cameras surrounded Kathleen Hoppa's thermometer in rural Tower: The temperature had dropped to a bone-chilling 60 degrees below zero. It made front-page news across the state, with newspaper headlines usually reserved for events of great importance. It was important to people in Minnesota!

-58 or -60 is COLD. That morning, I went out to the car - it was plugged in, of course, all apartment buildings there have outlets for each parking space - and it started fine, but the tires had a flat spot that took a long time to work out, and the foam padding inside the seats was like iron. Beautiful clear day, the snowy mountains were etched against a deep, deep blue sky... you just had to be careful not to breathe too deeply.
