Although it is supposed to get below freezing for a few days here in SUNNY warm-ish Savannah, GA, I do remember the days - and nights - of moving snow at -28F by hand and small machine in ND. The transformer that blew leaving us without power (i.e., electric heat) for 3 days - at 0F. Not to mention the 40' of snow we got in back to back blizzards in 2010, right at New Year's. Of course, being ND, they had it cleared in no time, but while it was going on (the blizzards started Wednesday afternoon, quit Thursday afternooon, restarted late Thursday night and petered out Saturday morning), I-94 was shut down and there was a nasty pileup on 94 just outside my little town (1 fatality, a truck driver trying to help one of the motorists). But by Sunday night (New Years Eve), the roads were clear, the highways opened and Fargo open for celebrations.
That was 13 years ago. Don't miss it either, but having just returned from Hawaii, even 25F is tough to take.
