I remember many cold nights around a bonfire and temps being in the upper 30’s low 40’s.  No coolers needed!  I’m not a naturalist by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ll rough it any chance I can.  And if it saves me 2.12 on ice and cleaning a cooler! He’ll yeah!   Since then, I’ve grown up and have a fridge in the garage and a fridge in the outdoor kitchen out back.  No matter my location, I’ll always have a cold one within close proximity! 

 When I was up north, we lost power for about a week due to a snow storm.  Between the fireplace, gas appliances and natures freezer, we actually faired quite well.

Thank you for the condolences.. Much appreciated..

Upper 30's and low 40's is a heat wave in NH during winter lolol

I remember going out in the middle of winter at 4:30am to go to work and it was -30 F..

When it's that cold, when you first step outside, it feels like your lungs are getting ready to freeze shut..

Layers dude.. That's the key.. I almost got frost bite on my fingers driving to work one morning and it was only 15 miles away.. Nasty stuff, dude.

I’m sure NH gets much colder weather than Philadelphia and Chicago.  We’ve had some bad spurts.  But about 15-20 years ago, I had fallen on my luck. Bought the only running car I could find with my last paycheck.  It was a ‘90 cavalier manual with no heat or air.  This was in the winter.  I drove 50 minutes one way to work bundled up and refused to smoke a cig since I had to roll the window down.   Not quite on par with your story.  But I’ve long quit smoking and that [BLEEP] ride.  But I will say that sucked!   I can only imagine that being the norm.  

Are you still in NH? I thought you were in GCS currently
