Whoa. I hate that it's 30 degrees with snow on the ground here. I can't even imagine -62!! I don't mean to sound like the idiot from California (though now I live on the east coast), but do people go outside when it's that cold? How do you breathe? How do cars start?
This concept is totally alien to me.

I live in WI & can guarantee someone will not be wearing their shirt during the Green Bay game on Sunday. That's nutty!!!
When I was a kid growing up in Wisconsin, my mom used to take the battery out of the car at night and bring it into the house so that it would stay warm and the car would start the next day. That all worked great until one day she slipped on the ice, dropped the battery which broke. She decided to pack up and move south.
We have a -30 wind chill forecast for this weekend. Everyone will go on like it's business as usual. My husband's driver-side door usually gets stuck closed when it's this cold but both our vehicles start right up. My kids went to school today but stayed inside during recess. I don't like to be outside when it's this cold but I guess I'm used to it. I live in WI & can guarantee someone will not be wearing their shirt during the Green Bay game on Sunday. That's nutty!!!
As far as the car, my hubby's work truck (full of tools goes in the heated garage at night). Daughter and I have headbolt heaters on our engines that we plug in each night. Go out about 10-15 minutes before we need to leave and start them up. Back in for a cup of coffee and off we go. We layer our clothes ( cuddle duds, T-necks, fleece, down ) I don't usually get cold. I looked at the temp when I got home today and at 8:45 am it was -70 with the wind chill. I was running errands at 9:30 am. Just leave the car running and do short errands( video store, grocery for a few things, and the liquor store for wine) It is about -35 right now but will get gusty later tonight so it will be really cold. My daughter is out ice fishing tonight. ( in an ice house) . School goes on as usual unless it is -40 temp or windchill at 5:00 am. Then they start 2 hours late. I am in Bemidji ( 250 miles north of Minneapolis). It will last for a couple days and then it will be only -10 for 4 days. Stay warm.

Did you fellow MN folks see the fuel gelled in the heaters at the Pond Hockey tourney so they couldn't even put up their warming tents this morning???? That is cold!
I felt so badly for the NBC newswoman who was covering the Pond Hockey Tournament this morning. She looked so cold and miserable, and then the sound on their microphones started cutting out...
I'll be indoors for most of the weekend, except when Hubby and I venture out to meet some friends (at a bar to be determined...) to watch the Green Bay game tomorrow!
I'm honestly considering not venturing down to my mailbox at all today!
I just looked at my temperature station and it is -18 right now with a wind chill of -35. It was -62 at 5:15am with the windchill. It is supposed to get colder as the day wears on and the wind will pick up. How crazy is that!!!!
