Arctic front and 5 inches of snow

Yes, I know I have survived Finland before. But it's still a terrible ordeal to face the cold. And I'm talking about -23C freaking cold. This week, Illinois was gripped by a cold front that came down from the Arctic and Canada. Overnight on Tuesday-Wednesday, more than 5 inches of thick snow came down and the whole place was covered by snow (again). Temperature dipped to -17C and on Thursday, it fell again to approx -23C. This low temperature remained till Friday. It's a terrible feeling....when the breath runs short because of the cold dry air. And when the upper thighs become cold and numb. I simply "love" winter.
