Haven't had a blizzard in awhile, but we have had them so we're prepared. Salt trucks come, then plowing after it snows and then more salt.

Personally I try and stay inside a lot? For some reason as I've gotten older my ability to endure cold has gone from world class to fucking non existent. It hurts just breathing outside (it was 20F today)

Same here but I blame it on the dog. Such a process to get that princess dressed in layers, then I open the door and she turns around. Or with adequate prompting she does her business and turns around. It’s her fault I don’t go outside in cold or wet anymore

(We did get a better walk in today because it got above freezing but that wind was brutal)

I'm fine with 20°F, but I'm kinda like that around about -10°F.

That's why I said my ability is just gone these days. I use to be fine to very cold temperatures but not anymore. It sucks!
