It's bitter cold here in NE Ohio....

Sunday will be the ninth day in a row where the mercury stayed below 20°. I'm losing my coat the first time it hits a balmy freezing.

But here a related conundrum:
Would you rather go streaking at -40C, or -40F?

Cold for 2 months, then frigid for 2 weeks. If more snow, weight will be a worry. And there's just no melt. This is like Washington's winter at Valley Forge.
