We get cold waves like this from time to time. They're nothing new, true. But, since 1962, we've seen lots of cold waves worse than this one. In northern Indiana, where I was living then, we had 2 months when the high temperature rarely got up to 20, for 2 winters in a row, in the late 1970's. It dropped to -20 several times. That says nothing about Minnesota and N. Dakota. Western N. Carolina, where I live now, didn't even fare much better in the late 1970's. Early in the decade of 2000, it got down colder than -50 several times in northern Minnesota. In 1994, it got down to -34 in Bloomington, IN, in the southern part of the state, where I lived at the time. That tends to make up for any slight warming of the climate.

Postafazoola! I meant to post my comment, above, to the 1/2/18 posting, not to this one, of 1/1/18. Oh well, no big deal.
Yep. No big deal. Thanks for contributing.
