I actually don't mind it much when it gets this cold...
My dog gets a little bent out of shape because it's cold and he has to stay inside but he'll live... lol!
It's warmed up a bit today and hit -19F (feels like a heatwave...lol!) but it's suppose to get cold again tonight and so on into the next week.
Looks like you and I will both be managing the sub-zero for at least the first week of the new year...
