It's not that cold. When those pics were taken it was about 32 degrees. Getting up to the mid 30's today. It was a wet heavy snow. If it was colder it would have been a powdery fluffy snow, and it would have probably been around 10-12 inches.

I know what paradisebird means. Sometimes on really cold days it is nice and sunny, it looks warm outside. Then you open the door and a blast of cold air hits you.
