Got lucky.
6" of dry snow to handle on car roof. Broom job. Pushed it off roof onto edge of long driveway. Geezers get creative. Did not use the blower. Just drove car up and down driveway. Shoveled crusty road plow pile into weeds
If I had a brain ? I would have put the car into the empty garage !! DUUUHH Wife brought a Ibuprofen as a preventive .

What do you all consider cold? It isn't cold in Minnesota until it is below 0
Had -29 Friday Night. Gonna be a Blistering 5 later today
Saturday Night was about -23, but still had freezing Rain. Ice was about 1/4" thick on the Car
Made for some exciting Driving Sunday

born in Luziana, bitter cold was high 20's and a bad winter consisted of a max of 2 weeks.

now live in Pa., bitter cold is teens, my opinion, and the winters are bad to me 'cause this "stuff" can run into early May at times.

eagerly waiting for the Blue Angels in Annapolis again!

Teens beg for a long sleeve 1/4 zip sweatshirt. Single digits are times to break out a windbreaker or jacket. 0 and below is a heavy jacket. That is for normal daily activity when not outside for more than 30-45 minutes at a time. Longer stretches outside beg for an update on the jacket …

Went on a week long ski trip years ago.
Jan 1982 ?
The warmest day was +5 F.
Nights were cold.
We left a day early as it was -35 F and wind chills were- xxxxx?
The state patrol closed the gates at the edge of town and followed us for 50 miles.
