Weather where you are thread

The Apple weather app said we had a total of 22” of snow but I feel like that can’t be right, based on depth before we started shoveling yesterday morning, and then the depth before Mr SK did the second round of shoveling yesterday evening. I think it was probably more like 16” total.
Whatever, it was a lot of snow for this area.Now the temps are supposed to drop to -18C/-0.4F by midday, and then stay low through tomorrow. Then we have several days where the overnight low will be between -1F to -5F.
I will be glad when the cold snap ends, this extreme cold makes me nervous.

Just before we moved here a friend gave me this goofy hat, saying it seemed like something I’d need. He thought it was hysterically funny.
It’s been in a drawer for four years - no way I was going to wear such a thing. But today I busted it out and - dayum! It really works! Way better than a stocking cap!

@Steve-Miller Mr SK has a hat just like that, he got it when I was in grad school and we lived "up north." For truly cold weather, it can't be beat.
@jon-nyc do you have something like these?
They are another Mr SK must-have item from our "up north" days.

No but I have boots. They did fine yesterday but today I found myself standing in snow for extended periods of time.
I think I need thermal mittens. I don’t really need gloves to shovel.

I was outside again today for about an hour (working on getting things down to the pavement so that it won't freeze, because it will be too cold for salt to work, and that's all we have).
Anyway, it was pretty cold but the sun was out. I was wearing these orthopedic shoes, they're backless but they have very thick soles. Yesterday, I was wearing boots, but these thick soles were much better. Funny what makes a difference.
