No it's true. You get a wet cold in the low 30's with gulf moisture it goes to your bones. Google it

Oh I know, but I took it as an antithesis to 'it's a dry heat' but you ice fisherman may not have experienced a116 degrees day with a 15 mph wind in the valley floor of Phoenix arizona.

Yesterday morning driving along Lake Ontario's southern shore there were branches flying through the air, but the lake was flat . The wind pushed the waves down and whatever was not pushed down went up as white foam and chunks of ice were surfing and skipping on the water.

Friday into Saturday we got freezing rain then a coating of sleet on top with some snow. Total about 3/4 inch or so. Then temps in the teens. Darn near impossible to remove without using tons of salt. Had a brief warm up Monday that melted the top layer then back to the deep freeze, freezing what thawed turning things into a literal skating rink. I still can’t get to my firewood piles. Need to invest in cleats.

I worked wildland fire for 25 years, spent many summers in the mountains of the west running around black ground putting fire out, I am well aware of operating above 100 degrees in 2 layers of long sleeve shirts and kevlar pants that don't breath.

What is with the freezing rain this winter, seems like we have had 4-5 rain events this winter.
