-9ยบ F here in eastern Massachusetts. Coldest I can remember at this location.
Wind seems to have died down, though. Last night the wind was brutal.
It used to be called the "Montreal Express." Years ago, Boston Gas distributed a 45 rpm single with a song by that name, from Al Sears and the Countrymen:

It has been quite a while since it was this cold . Thankfully this spate is to be short-lived.
It's tough to walk in this outside, but I still got my 4 miles in yesterday and dressing up for the biting wind and get out in it to get 4 miles in this AM shortly. A little late, but it's weekend and a tad chilly.

5 brothers and families still back in the Boston area, as of this morning only two have had a pipe freeze; all 5 hate me for calling living in California. They'll change that tune when the big one hits and find out they can't call me since it'll all be down and they'll just have to wait it out like they did in '94.
Stay warm my friends and whatever else you do, don't lick the light poles.

Pittdfield, MA has -18. My thermometer doesn't go that low but I bet we're close to that in Cummington.
I slept on the sofa last night rather than try to heat up the upstairs.

Is Cummington the same or even even possible at >18?

OK, looks like blooz is the Mass. winner at minus 18.
Any Massachusetts-ites beat that?
