Meh, the cold really isn't so bad. Here's the thing about extreme cold (here anyway) : it can really only get below zero when the air isn't moving. So if it's frigid cold, there's almost no extra wind chill. I was outside playing with me kids all weekend when it was between 10 and 16 degrees during the day - bundled up, no problem at all, for hours.
And my house and woodstove don't seem to know the difference, still stays above 70f all night long from a final load of logs at 11pm bedtime. Fresh, beautiful layer of snow this morning - I love winter!
