We had some 50 below zero days a couple of times, and let me tell you, that is some cold weather. Instant frostbite in minutes. School would be canceled, not because of the snow, but because the busses wouldn't start.
When we heard it was going to warm up to 10 below, we hatched a plan to go to the bus yard and unplug the buses the night before so they still wouldn't start.
It turned out to be just a childhood plan that we never followed through on. We still fell asleep dreaming of our genius to get one more day of school off though. Boy were we smart.
We did that too decades later, but mostly in the snow. We could instantly ice down any injuries.
Texas ---- Our area doesn't get much snow.
When it does get cold --- it's windy at sea level ---- feels cold as shit. Sometimes we get nasty ice.
