This year isn't even close, its very cold no doubt, but it is to be short lived. Winter of 1981, the ocean froze.

^ This! Very good point! ^

Feb 14, 2016. It briefly hit -60f with peak gusts. I was going to see Lauryn Hill in Brighton, and she (of course) was 2 hours late. We had to explain to the venue that the HAD to open doors, bc it was the type of weather that could kill people.

The numbers coming from Mt Washington are mind-boggling, though. They’re Mars temps.

They should is the key word! Keep an eye on the balances to make sure because it may take a paycheck or two.

Get ready to pay out of the ass to get them to come out over the weekend.

You should of asked HR before accepting the position.

Wow! I could've written this comment myself. I'm a para and I've been trying for years to get someone in the district to pay for my last 3 classes. The district doesn't understand that I can't pay now to get money back later bc I don't even make enough to get 2K together.

Meanwhile, they're hiring teachers from overseas and paying those teachers 29k of living expenses. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for hiring people anywhere and I'm an immigrant myself, but seriously, they can't give me 2K to finish my degree???

I’ve seen 40 below in northern Vermont, -8 is probably the coldest I’ve experienced in Massachusetts.

MA yes, New England, no.

that's the joke

Thanks. I reached out to HR late yesterday, but probably won’t hear back until sometime next week. I spoke with my soon-to-be manager and he wasn’t sure and did t want to say one way or another

Moving from the state reclamation board to the department of public utilities.

They should carry over no problem. I know a few people from my agency who have moved to other agencies like (DOT and Court) and they've kept all their sick and vacation.

I swear this is the coldest I've ever felt. I've been here for 19 years. I've been in my current house since 2005 and this is the first time ever that we couldn't even get the downstairs to 60 degrees, even though we've replaced the storm door and windows in recent years.

Are they with the same branch of government? You're not switching between an agency and a court, for example?

It's ridiculous. This is the first time our pipes ever froze.

I would check in with HR but I would say yes it should

Yep! I remember that.

Yes by a few degrees. I remember it being -6 when i was in elementary school, school was cancelled. Maybe around 2003? But this is colder.

I think the coldest I’ve ever experienced was when I lived in Chicago. It was sometime between 2008 and 2011 and it was -20/-40 with windchill.

where in EB? the only one I can think of is pretty updated (by the center).

We use 128. One of their plumbers wears a giant Jesus cross unironically around their neck, which looks like something Flav o Flav would wear, so there's probably a few magas in there.

Didn't work so well for the Irish
