It was -17° in Winchendon this morning. That was the temp not including windchill. While it gets cold every year, and sometimes for longer stretches. Negative single digits hurts but isn’t uncommon. Below -10° and now that’s scraping the bottom. This feels like the the coldest I’ve seen since at least 2004. They closed down the schools for a “cold day” with windchills at -40°. I don’t remember the actual temp but it was “negative something”

We rent so cant do some of that unfortunately. Our friend in hvac said theres not much to do as its gas heat and supply is limited. The house is unmaintained and minimal insulation plus second floor with nothing buffering the wind. We lived but it sucked lol

It mean yield to traffic and go when its clear. After a while they stop on coming traffic and turn green. Sometimes traffic is so heavy youd never be able to turn with just a blinking yellow. I've seen them in multiple towns and cities all over western mass
