Yup. I tried to work on the train shop in the shed tonight. Still can't thaw out. We will have to struggle to get above 12 deg during the day tomorrow. Right now it is 4 with a wind chill of -26. I think the winters of 77-78, 79-80 and 84-85 were similar to the way this one is starting out. No BS that winter, 84-85 in the Chicago area, DuPage county airport recorderd the lowest ever temperature for that area of around 53 degrees below zero. The wind chill was 88 degrees below zero. I had a 5spd transmission in my car. It was so cold the lube froze and took running the engine for 4 hours till it thawed out enough to just be able to put it in gear and another 2 to drive. Glad it was a good bar night at work. I remember I ran the car all night just so I could make it to work the next day, and I did. That was the year I decided to move south to Atlanta.
