Sucks up here. The first ice storm took down a lot of branches/trees and hydro transformers so many people were without power for up to a week. My folks were down for 2 days, then spotty for a bit as they had to turn them off to bring up neighborring streets a few times. The Wiff's folks were down a few hours less with no after-spottiness. They're both in the (eastern) burbs, we're downtown. I was actually a bit disappointed because I was hoping the storm would take one of our nuisance trees (Manatoba Maple; not a real maple in that it's not hardwood and therefore one of the few species they let you cut down, after a long tedious process, as it tends to drop branches on power lines if you look at it funny), but as we park our car under it it's probably for the best. The Birch out front lost a few light extremities (they're notorious for that). My In laws are upset because it looks like all 3 of their front yard trees are gonna have to be cut down now (2 Birch, 1 proper Maple IIRC).
The second ice storm didn't do anything to the power situation because all the weak trees/transformers were down already, so that was good.
It is bloody cold though. I get what Dave is saying re Wind Chill, but, when it's non-stop windy all the time like up here and no canopy to protect you it is actually rather appropriate, if maybe slightly overblown (ba dum dum, chsh). That said, up here they show us the actual temp and the additional wind chill separately on the weather report. Today is -20C; -40 with wind chill (that's -4 and -40F respectively) and as someone who has spent time up north in actual -40 conditions it sure feels like it (except in brief moments when the wind dies down momentarily). I was close to getting frostbite on my ears walking to my building from the street car (1/2 klick or just less than 600 yards; < 5 min walk) - I wore the wrong hat today apparentlly and the wind didn't let up at all (it was much nicer and less windy when I popped out at lunch time).
My (mostly) beagle (RIP) loved the cold/snow.... it was the salt he hated.
