ah, yes, living in nh-vt for the last 30 years, we used to have 5 days of below 25 below, winters, and 5 days of above 100degree summers. Last 10 years, 10 below, not, 95+ summers hardly, and where did the big storms go, 37-45" of snow in 24 hours, winters have been mild.
25 below with a 40mph wind, that's a problem.
Grew up in CNY, lake effect, wind, cold, comes in cycles, hopefully
