This is not EXTREME, guys. We have at least one of these cold waves a year and i've seen worst waves than this one.

I just took a long walk outside all day. It doesn't seem very cold at all.

I rather like the cold -- relatively speaking, since it really doesn't qualify as "cold" until it goes below freezing for a while -- but I am curious about where the temperature reading comes from. I live in the city, surrounded by glass, steel, and concrete; when I checked the outside thermometer on my balcony before going out, the reading was +4.6 at 8:30. A reading so close to zero must be coming from someplace outside the concrete jungle of the city, where whatever heat there is is retained by the buildings and streets.

It's really not that cold. It's not like where under 3 feet of snow or anything. Just walk it off.
