Coldest I’ve seen anywhere. But it’s gonna be 40F+ on Monday so it just kinda feels like a novelty event or something.

The 1-2 week stretches we sometimes get in the winter where it’s never above freezing, easily worse.

Agreed! Winter of 2017-2018 had a weeks long stretch of single digit weather. That was BRUTAL. This is easily the coldest a lot of us have ever experienced, but it’s so incredibly short lived.

Yup I remember working in Kendall square that winter and the Charles was frozen. I would much rather have one short ultra cold snap than weeks of sub 20 with single digit windchills

Yeah that was awful. My drains froze and i had to wait for them to thaw. I was in grad school at the time and just showered at the university which was miserable
