All I can say is...HA HA! 
We're in 50F Looks like we're going to miss this artic blast down here in Dixieland.
I fill for ya Rich, deep rooted memories of loading nukes in -30f at 3am. We were told we wouldn't load if it were -20f, I think the thermometer didn't go below -20.

We barely missed it. Reading that they got dumped on just 50 miles north of us.

Rich I grew up in Winnipeg so I know the -40C feeling all too well. About 16 years ago I made the move to BC and the Okanagan valley. It was +6C and sunny last friday. I even went for a bike ride. We are supposed to get down to some -20C overnight lows this week though which is very unusual for us.
Funny story, I got to Grand Forks in May '83, I got assigned to the barracks and noticed out in the parking lot all the electrical junction boxes between the rows.
I commented "Well that's nice of them to get us power to work on our cars and stuff."
My new bud looked at me kinda funny, "those are for block heaters."
"Block what"?
Hell I didn't know, we get snow once every 2 years down here.

We have a server weather warning with snow and ice and a low of -2c.............really 
I mean its colder than that in my bathroom most days
Its part of the global warming thing the Media likes to push. When i was a kid my mum used to save the washing for what were "Blowy drying days" and the washing would billow on the line. Now these days are called storms and are given names like storm nigel or storm imminent death...and we are warned not to go out ?

My first winter in Alabama, the news was reporting severe winter conditions: 30F. I walked on campus the first day of Winter term and there was NO ONE outside. I saw a campus cop and asked him what the deal was and he looked at me like I was insane! I was in a bomber jacket and jeans, he had a parka on and huge gloves. "you must not be from around here, it's F-ing cold and everybody else stayed home. That's when I became acquainted with "cold" in the south. 1/4" of snow and 6 states totally shut down.
And clean out the stores of milk and bread.
