It is what you get used to. Down here, in Virginia, such temps aren't unheard of, but it isn't commonly this cold. I went to high school in northern Indiana, and was there for the blizzards of '77 and '78, and we went for 10 consecutive days with a high below zero, and about 40 consecutive days below freezing. But sub-freezing and sub-zero days were common in winter, when the lake would freeze over to several feet thick, and people would drive jeeps out on the lake to ice fish. Where I live now, average winter temps are in the 40's and our historical average total annual snowfall is 11". Buffalo, we ain't.
