Same here, -11F with wind chill.
This sucks, but it doesn't feel as bad as the -30F wind chill days we had last year. Although I might change my opinion tomorrow after an hour outside on the forklift.
We had only our second measurable snow of the season yesterday but it was only 2-3". We never really got the big one last year but we did get a bunch of days with measurable snow, it sure felt like I was out shoveling every other day. We ended with 63.4" of snow for the season.

Well...well see what comes now but only time will tell. Hopefully it's not as bad as last year. Nov/Dec has been very mild for us, just just had our first real snow two days ago. 5-6". Currently, it's 0 outside, -9 windchill. Is supposed to get up to freezing by Sunday...so this snap doesn't seem like it will last that long...

I'll add to the fist part of this thread by saying that we really never got a summer around here. It got hot a few times but for the most part, after an entire month of rain In June, July was just plain odd. I have a July birthday and this year it was a high of 58....58? Holy shit...never has my birthday been that chilly.
I cycle a ton and the early morning rides were a bust this year too...it was just too damn chilly most of the time.
It's been a cool year in general...

In Britain you can travel from the very top to the very bottom and the variance will be something around 4 degrees celsius, so there's really no escaping the weather of this island.
This isn't the case in the US, I have no idea why people live in parts of the US with shitty weather.

We may whine about it...but most of us like it (I think). I wouldn't live anywhere else in the US. We experience real winter / spring / fall / summer and it's great. The brutal cold (-50) of course isn't fun, but at zero it isn't too bad and it's necessary for a lot of the activities we enjoy. Driving a car to various islands across Lake Superior is more than awesome. Today low was -16 (wind -39).
Spring / Summer / Fall / Winter = best

As someone that also lives in an area with "seasons"... yeah, I'm over it.
I like snow and the whole winter wonderland, but that can just as easily be accomplished with a vacation in the winter without making the work week a nightmare and my heating bill a solid slice of my paycheck.

Living in Southern California it's easy to completely disconnect from the human experience of the past, the recent past, btw. A past where in many parts of the world the winter was a thing to be survived. A past where 'mother nature' was going make sure 3 out of 4 of your kids weren't gonna make it to age 10.
Oh, and I want to mention that there was a time on these forums where you had a strong Minnesota/Twin Cities crowd who typed as though they lived in the most enlightened, desirable place on the planet earth. I remember when Bobak moved there and was a part of that delusional, reality-disconnected madness. Like Minneapolis and St. Paul was akin to Rome at the height of empire.

The Autumn felt long and comfortable for me, but now it's nothing but a distant memory. I visited the state of Ohio for a week last week and -HOLY SHIT- it was cold. The kind of cold where your hands literally get bright red and numb in less than 10 minutes outside without gloves...
