RE: RE: RE: RE: US is cold tonight.I'm not suggesting that the current weather in the US is extremely cold, I'm just saying that it is freezing, meaning below zero. Any temperature that causes the heat to come on consumes energy. Much of the US that is currently below or near freezing is used to warm or extremely warm weather so they will feel the cold a lot more. Hopefully that means they will turn up their thermostats a lot more too.
Speaking of snow, usually extremely cold weather is without snow because it carries little moisture with it so I agree that big snow storms aren't likely to be associated with extreme cold.
By the way I'm an hour north of Toronto and we get some good cold winter weather as well. I'm with you, temps down to slightly below zero don't bother me much. It's the wind that I don't like.
Cheers.
