I wish... that would be awesome. The most extreme weather I've been in was Hurricane Ike. And yes, I know Ike was nothing compared to Katrina. Like I'd live in a city below sea level in Hurricane Alley lol.

Hi there.

Over the last few years, i have worked door to door and on 2 different winters there were days that hit -40 (-40C = -40F) with a bit of wind, 20mph your face feels it's being pelted with needles, winter's hell sometimes.

One morning, I was going to work, and it was so cold, 51 degrees below zero Celsius in Boston with the wind chill factor. Everytime I tried to use my cigarette lighter, the flame would freeze.

Where I live now, I've been able to go outside in the middle of June and enjoy a snowball fight.

Hi there.

Well with the wind chill,it was -60, and when we spoke it came out as bits of ice, we had to thaw them out to hear what was said.
