  My niece just got back from a school trip to New York (why couldn't school trips have been that cool when I was at school? ) and yeah she was complaining about how cold it was. Apparently, one of the girls was in tears after they had to wait for 30 mins outside a restaurant because it was so cold.

  Thought this was interesting: The top 20 coldest large cities in the US (based on winter temps Dec-Feb). Ranks cities with a population of about a quarter million or more.

  Boston comes in at #20. The temps are in Fahrenheit. So "subzero" would be below -18.

  Nice plunge of cold air over north america means stronger jet and a stormy period for the UK coming up. The sooner the temperatures recover in america the soon in calms down for us. But with the temperatures all over the place over there that aint going to be anytime soon

  My daughter is in Mass. and seems to be in the one place where all this has passed them by.
  
  Yes there is snow, but nothing like these "day after tomorrow" pictures.
  
  She is slightly miffed.:D
  
  I love the first picture, like something Turner would have created.

  Can you imagine people of the UK coping with snow like that? A wee bit of snow up here and the trains are off. People would also be moaning about the weather even more than usual.

  I saw an article that said Niagara Falls was frozen, then another that said it was just a bit frozen and water was still flowing underneath it and to be honest that was disappointing.

  If we regularly had huge amounts of snow we would have the infrastructure to cope.

  The pictures make it look amazing and like a big adventure. However, in reality I wonder how many people have been injured and how the elderly are coping - my mum is terrified of going out when it's a little bit ice.:(
  And I hate being cold, it would be one of my worse nightmares.

  You can be sure it will be a very hot summer over there, while at the same time we struggle to reach 20 degrees C during the daytime for much of the time. It will be hotter in New York at night than or daytime maximum come June.
  
  We never share properly in other countries weather at the same latitude as us.

  I was in New York City some 30 odd years back, staying with a girlfriend in Chelsea, at 23rd. and 8th.
  The weather was bitterly cold, -28F but no snow, and the radio and TV newscasters kept repeating advice to NOT go out without ear defenders.
  I had arranged to meet my girl at a bar in Kips Bay, not a very long walk from her apartment, where I was.
  Being Mr. Franco/English Macho, and not having ear defenders anyway, I just thought screw that, let's go.
  Somewhere between Broadway and Park Ave. I felt like Jack Frost personified, my ears were the colour of a British phone box when I almost fell through the door of the bar.
  When she stopped laughing, my girl called me a dumb Limey prick, justified I guess.

  Oh dear can't the anti-american bias just rest for one day? We are talking about weather.
  
  EDIT and in before the "whoosh" comment. I did indeed see what you did there.

  A few more pics. The pic taken in the car park is one of the strangest photos I've seen.
