Doesn't bug me. I grew up with all that. In San Diego, you get quakes, and an absolutely insane state government. Hawaii gets hurricanes and is too isolated.
Basically, the moral of the stories would be "ya picks yer poison!"
Got a tip for us?

Maybe it's just me, but minus 4 degrees looks like a guy taking a dump. -4°
Well, I wouldn’t count the state government as part of a weather problem. But your point of pick your poison is taken. It just depends on how often you want a dose.
I went up to visit my brother's family in northern NH for New Years.
I headed back home this morning and the temperature was -29 Deg F (not wind chill) around 8am.
I had no problems starting the car (it was out in the driveway) but I could tell it didn't appreciate the cold
.
I also found that you do not want to leave an iPod Touch in the car (I play it through the car radio) when it gets that cold.

I was going to say something about hot air from DC but forgot this ain't PRSI.

Yah one thing about living in Manhattan is you're bound to catch wind off one or another body of water, and the canyons of skyscrapers seem to amp up the wind chill. It's one thing to experience -20ºF upstate on a windless day. It's another, and horrific, to walk in air temperatures of even +20º when your last several blocks from the public transit take you home to what the apartment rental ads tout during summertime as "River Vue." At that time of year it's a river view dimly through a scarf or you'll feel sandblasted by time you get there.
Or at least that's what I thought until I spent some time in Chicago one winter.

Its 42 celcius here in Sydney. Give me your cold for 5 minutes please. I have no air conditioning. On the plus, side, I think I've lost a stone just sitting on the couch.
Global warming triggers extreme weather conditions. This could very well be related.
Woke up to -1 this morning and yesterday atop of Mount Washington, they were so close to getting to -100 windchill

It never got that cold where I am. It’s been -11 to -18F without chill. The winds have been still (3-5 mph or so) so that helped. It’s 15 F above this morning with a high approaching freezing. Tomorrow’s forecast is about the same.

Wait until summer when the City is in the 50’s. Lol. I miss the Bay Area climate.

I went to high school up there (Peru). I don't miss the weather. My parents spent 30 years in Albany and finally retired to Florida.
This time of year is normally in the 50-60's. Very comfortable. I joke that we have a six day winter here, but we maintained a hard freeze for four days. It was brutal. This week, back to the 60's and even up to 70.
It's global climate change.
Been a week of -30C to -45C this morning(-49F).. averaging of -15C (5F) for 3 months. Can't even walk my small dogs. They pee in record time, no time for sniffing.

So here in the Western Catskills, it was -17ºF along our little ridge this morning at 8am, God knows what in the wee hours, probably -22. Heat wave here now at 2 above zero. I'm looking forward to the real heat wave starting tomorrow with a forecast high of 32 continuing up to Thursday's 46. Wow. Sixty degree swings in a few days are unusual here for early January, usually don't get that until a February thaw.
Y'all keep yer tall mountains, I've decided these hills are good enough for me.

56ºF right now, sunny, feels like 60+ out of the shade (but a decent ~15-18mph NE wind from the ocean). Just got back from a supply run ... top down (also wearing shorts)

It’s a bit chilly for Florida though, the sun also isn’t really at an ideal angle to sit outside but it’s definitely better than that nonsense up north

You guys are gonna need food tasters if any of us Yanks invite you to brunch once we manage to get down there to get even.

Oh yeah, we've had some record lows, a snow-like weather occurrence - I was taking the Christmas lights off the 4Runner late yesterday (yes, it was fun), and with the wind chill, it was _cold_, but I did have a spiked hot chocolate with me outside

"This frittata tastes ..."
*drops dead*
We're doing Mexican sunday today, our crazy Cali burritos, tequila beverages, watching some NFL, a little business planning - come on down
Isolated, for sure.
Hurricanes, not really. We had a big one back in 1992 but nothing of importance since. In 2014 Iselle threatened my island but made landfall as a tropical storm only.
