Yeah, I hear ya!! It was pretty darn close to that here, too. The lowest I saw our thermometer dip was -35 yesterday morning, but it doesn't figure out the wind chill, which DEFINITELY made it alot colder, lol. Brrrrr.

Dang that is cold, hope you stay nice & toasty inside!
It's about 5 degrees (F) here this morning, but I'm sure it's much colder with the windchill factored in! There was even frost around the frame on the INSIDE of our sliding glass door this morning! I can't really remember ever seeing that happen in our house before!

I don't want it THAT cold, but I do want it colder than it is. We never get snow here, I hate it

we just had some rain last night, which turned into sleet this morning (i woke up hearing it hit the house) School had a 2 hour delay because i'm assuming its slippery. the temp is like 15 degrees, windchill is like around 6 degrees, lol. holy crap!! i went get something out of my car and the door was frozen. had to pull pretty hard to get it open. i 'm going to need milk, and i will definitely have to let the poor car warm up. poor thing, wish i had a garage!

Another school district in our area had a two hour delay this morning too, but it was due to the school buses. I guess it was so cold they had trouble getting the buses started! But the district we live in (where the girls go to school) and the district my DH teaches in had no delays this morning unfortunately. Two extra hours to get up & around this morning would have been nice!

I forget how cold it is, but if it stays at or below a certain temperature for an extended amount of time, diesel buses can't run.

Kristin and I are currently at -30*C (-40*C with the windchill) {-20*F/-36*F w/ wc}.
My car was so frozen this morning, the heater wouldn't kick on, the windows couldn't be scraped clear ... I drove to work with a little patch clear on the windshield - totally illegal, I know. It is currently sitting in the shop here at work defrosting, with the heat cranked back there. And strangely, Des' truck had NO frost on it this morning, unlike my car that was literally frozen solid (but it has no winter tires on it yet, so I am not allowed to drive it until they get put on this week).

I don't understand what you mean when you say you "plug in" your vehicles.
Please explain?

All vehicles up here have block heaters in them...we plug them in to keep them warm(ish) so that they will start each day. If you DON'T plug them in, good luck getting them to start. You still have to let them run for a while and warm up so the gas pedal/brakes aren't stiff and the inside isn't freakin freezing.
ETA: The only thing plugging them in does is basically keeps the engine temp from dropping to whatever it is outside. It doesn't help power the car or anything.

See, we don't have that sort of thing where I'm from. So the diesel's WOULD freeze up if it got too cold. Actually, I might've heard that from my friend in Minnesota. I don't remember, but I know I heard it somewhere! LOL! School was canceled cuz the buses wouldn't start, lol.

We have to keep our block heaters warm (which keeps the oil warm), so our cars will start. The electricity is routed into the block heaters, so we literally "plug them in" with an extension cord! No joke.

While I'm ever thankful to God for NOT making it -35 here, the whiplash from yesterday's 75 degrees to today's 28 degrees is miserable

For reals. I'm not big on cold, but I can handle it (I mean, NY gets dang cold enough for me). I barely survive winter at Jordan's parents house in western MD. It's usually 10-15 degrees below our temperature here, year round. Sooooooo not funny. I don't like single or negative digits.

well i think saskatchewan and manitoba can get it just as cold.. i honestly think once it gets past -30 it all feels the same. you don't think much about it because you go in and out as fast as you can and don't take the time to think about how cold it is.. haha
