I like a smidge of white noise. Total silence, I find oddly very distracting. As if I actually have a chance at total silence here at the intersection of Main St and another gigantic road.

Stupid trucks.
How cold has it GOTTEN or how cold does it GET? I'd say a normal day in the winter is like the lower 50's in the "heat" of the day and lower 30's (but not quite freezing) at night. Of course there are days when it's a smidge warmer and plenty of nights when it gets into the teens (too many if ya ask me). Most of our precip ends up being ice which is particularly sucky.

It usually snows about once per winter and even then, it's maybe an inch or two. It's rare for it to JUST snow, though. Usually, there's a layer of ice underneath (grr!).
Ahem. I believe the record low temperature is around -4. I'm having a hard time finding statistics online.

Then again, it's late and I'm not exactly on my game here....
