Reply to comment by same-shit-everyday in how to deal with winter? by same-shit-everyday

We've actually had a very mild winter so far. Generally this time of year we should be hanging around the 20s or 30s during the day and in the 10s or so at night. January and February are typically are coldest months though where we can sometimes get down into the -20s at night and maybe peak at 0 during the day. This is somewhat dependent on your location in the state too, the coast and southern part of the state tend to be a bit less harsh than inland.

Its pretty cold. Its cold enough any wet or dampness on your skin (think inside your nose, wet hair) will freeze pretty quickly. Frostbite can set in very quickly at these temperatures, so you just need to be careful being outside for too long when its that cold.

When I was in high school, I used to do cross country ski racing on the school team. There were many times when it was -15 or so outside, and all we got to wear was some long underwear and nylon speed suits. That was bitter cold. The technology for all that stuff has changed a lot in the last 20 years and its probably not so bad now, but as a kid, it was sometimes so cold it hurt.

It has been very mild this year, I have a feeling we’ll make up for it late January-February.
