Winter of 1995, in Western Massachusetts, there was a two week stretch where it went below 0 every night. And for 5 days straight, it was below -25 each night. I lived in West Stockbridge at the time.
Snow makes the weirdest sound when you walk on it at those temperatures. A squeaking sound, like walking on Styrofoam.
I think that same winter, Ex-Mrs Beard and I took my parents out to dinner when it was about -5, in South Lee (The Federal House). I remember giving my mother toe heaters for her high heeled shoes.
