PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Subfreezing temperatures across much of the U.S. left millions of Americans facing dangerous cold as Arctic storms left four dead and knocked out electricity to tens of thousands in the Northwest, brought snow to the South, and walloped the Northeast with blizzard conditions that forced the postponement of an NFL game.

    This year is extremely atypical. This is the first week here we’ve had it substantially below freezing. we haven’t dropped below zero… at all.

    Its freakishly mild. to the point that all the idiots that go ice fishing… are whining about not being able to drive the decidedly overpriced trucks out onto the ice like they’ve always been before. yes, I enjoy the irony there. Also, little known fact. When you drive on lake ice, your insurance is suspended.

      Overpriced 🤣.

      Big mads. Imagine being happy at someone else’s loss, or happy at them being in because they own a truck. Unhinged shit really.
