"People Who Don't Want Their Beliefs Laughed at Shouldn't Have Such Funny Beliefs" -AD5MB
"If someone tells you he believes in and talks to an invisible bunny named Harvey, you put him on medication and a regimen of therapy. If someone tells you he believes in and talks to God, well, that's perfectly acceptable. Why that's the case is impossible for me to fathom." - WP2XX

Actually a Cheechako is an old name for a newcomer, a tenderfoot in Northern Alaska and northwestern Canada. Most seasoned old timers would consider 10 degrees to be pretty mild for winter. Heck, 10 degrees is even considered a typical winter temperature in the Adirondacks in upstate New York where you'll often get overnight temperatures of -10 , -20, and lower.
And regardless of how cold it gets one thing for sure. The river near me at my present locale in southeast NY won't freeze because its so damned polluted. At most it will develop a yellow waxy coating over it's surface. Years ago a few cold days and people could ice skate on it. These days you can get a months worth of arctic weather and that river will remain liquid. It's actual name is the "Bronx River". I have dubbed it "the river that cannot freeze".

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
only good thing about this -10 to -20 crap is it will wipe out the bug population. thus making summer a bit more enjoyable.

But the most wild, variable weather I experienced was at Holy Loch, Scotland. While waiting in formation (at ease) on the pier for the bus to take us to the airport, we had rain, then warm sun, then a snow squall, then a thunderstorm, cold, fog, back to sun, all within 1 hour.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Currently here at my house (1239 MST): 64ºF Partly Cloudy.
That is why half of Canada's population is in Yuma and Quartzsite.
Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
