Reply to comment by PeteDontCare in Did I hallucinate the arctic temps this past weekend? by [deleted]

Even just a few years ago (around Christmas 2017) it was subzero for most of a week, with lows around -20. Totally normal thing, happened every year when I was a kid. I only remember 2017 because my in-laws had just moved up here from PA and were like “WTF have we done?!!!”

Was it in the 40s on the week before and after? Because that's what this conversation is about.

I remember this too.... Because we were fascinated by that whole throwing boiling water into the air trick to watch it instantly turn into "snow". I think it's all the hype around these cold snaps on national news and social media that has everyone forgetting what the norm always was
