A current Balmy -22F (-30 C) in the beautiful Twin Cities, kids!!!!! Bundle up and go out to the bus stop, because the superintendents of the 2 major school districts wouldn't call school off on the coldest day in 5 years.
If my kid got frostbite today, and had to have something amputated, I would be sure to call the stump "Insert Superintendants name here."
The one in St. Paul that my wife works for is from Alabama... I am pretty sure she doesn't "get" it.

This chick is going to be busy today answering a ton of angry phone calls.

Drove into work with a temp of -27F, radio said the wind chill was somewhere in the -45F to -50F range. Remote start = life saver!
Why would you want school canceled because of cold? As long as the furnace isn't total crap, I don't see the need.

Is there really any difference in 0 and -15 or 20? Once you get down that low does it really matter?

you wouldn't think it makes a big difference and maybe being in it for a minute or two you wouldn't notice it but once it goes from -15 to 5 it will feel warmer
