It would seem that the cold had only begun on the 6th of December, because here we are a month later, and cold snaps are still sweeping through the nation. I can't say that we have seen -21 yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if we did this year. So far we have seen as much as -12, and it has been well over 5 years since we have had temperatures this cold in my part of the country. I am curious what the rest of the winter will bring because we are barely into the months that are typically the coldest for us. We have had more snow this year already also than we have had in more years than I can remember. I can't remember the last white Christmas we had here.
