A little hyperbolic…is it cold for New England today and tomorrow? Yes. Are there areas in the world and country that have adapted to work outside in conditions like this? Yes. Look at Canada, the whole country doesn’t stay inside because it’s cold, Ukrainians are persisting despite massive power outages during the winter.

Right? It’s all relative. Look at Yakutsk. You just live with it. Everybody’s saying to stay inside. Well, a lot of us have no option, and it’s not as if we can’t be prepared for it.

And Texas can't drive on black ice or when it would be what we consider a dusting. The city canceled school and allowed people to stay home because of the dangerous weather conditions. Even the people working outside are only doing what is necessary in very short bursts of time. What is necessary about having the ice rink open when the weather is this dangerous?
