My trip home was amazingly easy. It seems that all my thirty mile trip with both defrosters on full bast combined with direct sunlight weakened the Ice. My front and rear winshield were clear and three out of four side windows wee clear. By the time I pulled into the town gas station even the fourth window was soft enough for the ice to be removed in seconds.
It is three degrees and the wind is starting to pick up. Overnight lows will be negative 5 with 15-20 mph wind. There was one bad week last year with -13 a few nights but it isn't so bad if there is no wind.
The roads were excellent, but the Quebecois on the Interstate seem to be on a suicide jihad going in the mid eighties at least. They do this in heavy fog as well and one does not know what is in that fog.

So where is this "frozen north"? Is it classified? Canada? It's a bit chilly down here in Atlanta also. Hope we don't have sleet or snow--that means I'll have to work OT working for the power company.
I am in Northern Vermont 15 minutes from Canada. It is -4 with 20 mph winds.
Beak I assure you that you are not alone in this weather. We went through 3 days of ice and below freezing here in Dallas. This morning I wake up and now we have ice and snow and temps below freezing.
Ok Ok what did you guys do with the global warming thing. This sucks. :P
Mountaineers practice a hell-bent driving style. It's the same in east Tennessee.
I've lost several plants in my yard due to the freeze and I'm in southern Arizona.
We just got a really good frost here in Ohio; one of the first of the year!
We had so much rain over the last few days that the river was uncomfortably close to the top of the embankment that our neighborhood sits on, but all is sunny and cold now.
